Written by on October 12, 2015 in Autumn 2015, United States of America with 0 Comments

A wild, dynamic and highly amplified pattern has led to wild and extreme weather across the US.

The wind was one thing but the heat? Well it was incredible by October standards. Highs soared to 99 degrees at Mooreton, North Dakota yesterday as a trough pushing onto the West Coast, has expanded north and east, an unusually hot air mass up along the Front Range of the Rockies and onto the Plains.
