Tropical/US Update: Clutching At Straws?

Written by on September 4, 2013 in Tropical, United States of America with 0 Comments

Good evening and I hope all Americans enjoyed your Labor Day weekend. I’m sure for many or most of you, it’s back to business as usual. I posted just last night about the ‘potential’ implications later down the road to a more conducive tropical Atlantic, a better African wave train and the evolving pattern over North […]

North America To Act Like Magnet For Tropics Mid Sept As Pattern & MJO Becomes More Favourable

Written by on September 3, 2013 in Tropical, United States of America with 0 Comments

The tropics overall remain quiet and there I no immediate threat from any system out there at this time. We currently have a system bringing heavy downpours, gusty winds to the Yucatan and this feature will drift west into the Bay of Campeche tomorrow. The NHC gives this a low chance of development (20%) and will likely push […]

North America Pattern Could Encourage Tropical Trouble Next Few Weeks

Written by on September 2, 2013 in Tropical, United States of America with 0 Comments

The heat has been pretty much the main story for the US over the past 10 days but as we progress through the next 10, I have a funny feeling the tropics are going to become the main story as the Atlantic begins to light up and we see systems all of a sudden develop […]

MJO Suggests Tropics Come Alive, Eastern US Stays Cool In July!

As we approach July, one must start watching the tropical Atlantic as the MJO index looks set to enter increasingly more favourable octants. While the GFS is going through phase 1, the ECMWF clearly shows it entering phase 2 and that’s prime time for western Atlantic development over the next couple of weeks. Quite often when the […]

Tropical Storm Andrea Forms, 120° Heat For Southwest!

Written by on June 6, 2013 in United States of America with 0 Comments

After a few hours sleep, I awaken to a named storm out in the Gulf and that name is Andrea! Though now a named system and while it will present fairly widespread gale-force winds with a smaller area of storm-force winds, little has changed in my overall thinking on this system.

The pattern shaping up across the US this week is likely to end up being the overall June setup a lot of with heat over the West while an astern trough allows shots of cool, dry air down over the Great Lakes into the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. True summer heat is now in place over the Southwest after a coolish spring with […]

The weather has been rather busy over the Mid-latitudes and so it has to an extent, kept me from writing about the tropics. I am been wanting to get a post up on this for a good week nowas things are stirring down there. I don’t know if you’ve been looking at the tropics of late […]

Firstly, here’s the current global SST’s as […]
