It’s at this time of year when you really want to make the most of those 25C+ days since you just know their living on borrowed time. This weekend I think is likely to be the last real warm period and with it arriving on the weekend, get out there and enjoy it. The bulk […]
An impressive storm system developed over the Bering Sea about 36 hours ago and during last night brought the system pushed hurricane-force winds onshore across southern Alaska as the central pressure from this winter-like monster plunged to 974 mb. Winds topped 70 to near 90 mph across Anchorage and surrounding hillsides. Power was cut to as […]
Following several days of fighting dry air and shear from an upper low to the west, now it’s shear from the north due to a high which continues to keep Leslie as a 992mb, 65 mph tropical storm. Over the next 2-4 days we are going to start seeing Leslie organise more as conditions over and around the […]
Surely, not… could we actually see Isaac regenerate back over the Gulf of Mexico? Ivan did it in 2004 after taking a big loop over the continental US and this may happen again with Isaac. If you’ve been following, Isaac’s remnant low first entered Louisiana a week ago, then headed north and took a hard […]
While it’s that time of year now when we see more and more cold front drops out of Canada, drawing down that cool, refreshing fall air mass, this time it should drive daytime highs and night lows down well into Texas as well as across the East. A substantial cool shot dives out of Canada starting […]
Every so often when the jet stream takes a southward dip over the heart of Europe, spilling cold upper level air down with it, the resulting trough often can form a low over the Med Sea, like with this instance, the low becomes cut off with the jet returning back north. With the warm waters beneath, these lows can appear to take on some semi tropical […]
Got outdoor plans for this weekend? BBQ perhaps? Go on… why not, cause it’s going to look and feel like summer, not autumn! It was last weekend I started alluded to the fact that beyond the first half off this week, the second half is going to be picture of building sun, sand, sea and warmth once the Icelandic […]
There is still some shear and dry air currently affecting this storm and yes, it’s the same olf story of the deepest area of convection is displaced to the south and east of the centre. I have no change with Leslie and right now, due to the fact it’s barely moving at only 3 mph, […]
Over the next 24-36 hours we’re are going to see the little blip in the road I alluded to a few days ago in the post which stated the South of England should be mostly dry, sunny and warm for the next 10 days. After tomorrow I could see mostly sunny skies, no rain and above normal temps through at […]
A very steep pressure field is setting up over the Atlantic between deepening Icelandic low and strong Azores high. Bteween the expected bombing out at 965mb tomorrow am and the 1030 ridge, very strong upper level winds are likely to mix down the the surface thanks to alignment with good vertically ‘stacked’ winds from jet stream level […]
