While arctic air will dive into the heart of the country late this week, unlike the last cold surge, this time around it’s going all the way to the Atlantic coast and that means the Big Cities. The last outbreak spared the big cities. Before the arctic air reaches the coast, later Friday and into Saturday will see a […]
Thought I would use Chicago as a good example of the wild temperature swing we are about to see across the heartland of the US over the next 72 hours. While a howlling Pacific flow warms the majority of the country with unseasonably mild air with many rising Wed and Thursday to between 15-25, locally […]

We have had significant flooding across parts of Ireland and Scotland with system 1, system two will have cleared the northern UK tonight but heavy rains will impact the Midlands, South and Southeast the rest of tonight and through the […]
Scotland Another day and another wet overnight and morning makes way to a drier, brighter and less windy afternoon for a large chunk of the country. Further rain however will affect the North with a strengthening wind which is expected to reach severe gale-force later this evening across the Western Isles.

After what was a record dry and quiet spell, it seems the Pacific Northwest is catching up with the typical wet and stormy weather their so often use to during fall.

Scotland After a rough overnight and first part of today, conditions have greatly improved across Scotland with even some glimmers of brightness appearing this afternoon. Winds remain fresh to strong with coastal gales but all in all it should be a dry night with temperatures holding up near at near 10C. The next batch of wind […]
As predicted from early last week, the UK and Ireland has entered the most active weather period of the month with a string of Atlantic depressions lining up to sweep their vigorous fronts (slowly from west to east) across the country. As many as three systems will swing a heavy, persistent band of rain across Ireland and the UK along with strong, gusty winds this week […]
The pattern has flipped around across the hemisphere with mid-latitude amplification flattening out with the NAO/AO going positive but as a result, rather than dealing with unseasonable cold and snow, the storm train off the Pacific has cranked into high gear for the Pacific Northwest following a record dry spell. If you live in the […]
