Check out these 500 mb geopotential height charts off the GFS ensemble. More food for thought and something to wet the taste buds! Chese charts again reiterate what has been said time and time again but when I look at these and see them starting to show the ideas I’ve had since September, I admit I am getting excited. This also […]
Rather than presenting you with a load of written content tonight, I want you to watch the video (sorry about the length but lots to look at). Think it and the maps I’ve included speak for themselves!. As per usual, people are jumping to all sorts of non-justifiable conclusions. I posted on facebook during the night, that the US […]
Here are a bunch of GFS surface charts which show low pressure as the dominant feature of the UK and Ireland weather map over the next 10 days. The charts below extend out through mid next week but what’s interesting is the amount of individual low pressure centres spinning within one huge low pressure trough. […]
The Pacific jet has significantly strenghened over the past few days and over the next 7 days, we will see one storm after the other slam the Pacific Northwest but this unsettled weather with wind, rain, surf and mountain snows, extends down the coast. Expect soaking rains down through San Francisco and likely even Los Angeles. As […]
I’m still working on a post regarding the stratosphere but while that’s being written up, I want to show you what the models are cooking for the beginning of December! Check out the above GFS ensemble for 384 hours. Note the blocking high positioned over Greenland, this will deliver parcels of arctic air into both […]
Haven’t looked at the Jamstec model in a while and thought i would put this up for you to see. Interesting to see it warm for much of Europe while the west and northwest remain colder than normal. This coincides nicely with my winter idea. The last time I looked at this, all of Europe was cold […]
Scotland It’s been a poor day for Central and southern areas with heavy cloudcover, mist and fog as well as a persistent rain or drizzle. Further north it’s been a much better day with sunshine but winds have been fresh to strong. Through tonight a front advances south but it’s associated rain band weakens as […]
Over the next 10 days we appear set to see ‘several’ lows of varying intensity cross Ireland and the UK, as well as bringing the usual wet and windy weather, I am expecting pretty sizeable swings in temperature ahead and behind the main cold front. This is the next phase in my November idea. I expected […]
Any storm which threatens the Northeast is a worry following Sandy and the damage and exposure brought to beaches, as well as the weakness to trees, power and property. For many days now, models have shown a Pacific disturbance crossing the country which will deepen a trough already established over the East. This feature will draw energy in as it moves offshore and is set to develop […]
Scotland Following a rather miserable day with a lot of heavy cloud and steady rain across the Central Lowlands extending into the South, this evening should see this rain band associated with a stalled front, finally shift south. Clear skies in the north will produce a frost while extensive mist and fog will form through […]
