While looking at the latest models on Sandy, the ECMWF remains stubborn in pulling Sandy into the Northeast/New England as a major, historic storm which would have potentially devastating consequences. The Canadian model has now jumped east in it’s track, joining for GFS. Remember that a lot has to do with (1) the ridge in the west […]
While we have endured gloomy, grey and laden skies but nothing that could be considered cold or October-like unless your in the NW Highlands where it’s been frosty, I’ll tell ya where it has been cold and growing colder and colder by the day.. Greenland… The cold has been building over Greenland thanks to a […]
Shutterstock Scotland The bulk of the country has be stuck beneath a thick blanket of cloud which is trapped beneath an upper level ridge. These setups at this time of year can support mild temperatures, low cloud, mist and fog for days. Classic October gloom when a stable air mass is in place. Noticed it fairly mild both […]
The computer models are still in large dissagreement over, now Tropical Storm Sandy which formed a few hours ago in the Caribbean and over the next 7+ days, everything will depend upon the pattern across the US and even out over the Pacific as to whether this storm remains at sea or whether it makes a direct impact on […]
The next few days will see an increase in dense mist, fog and cloud across particularly England and Wales with a ridge drawing mild and moist from off the near continent. It’s acting like a lid on top of a moist low level atmosphere. This supports the formation of widespread mist and fog and that lid, stops it […]
Shutterstock Scotland A stable air mass is in place with ridging locking in a moist low level air mass which will support misty, murky days to come. After a sunny start to your Monday, it’s turned cloudier as the afternoon has worn on. This will come and go into this evening and as darkness falls, so […]
Many computer models are suggesting a wild situation evolving this weekend with a hurricane bombing out off Cape Hattaras and may and it’s a big, may.. turn NW and hit the Mid-Atlantic or Northeast next week sometime and given the wild pattern setting up through this week and into early next with major warmth to be followed by major […]
Over the next 72 hours, very warm air will flood much of Europe and North America while a trough dropping over Greenland, supporting the lowest levels so far. This morning, is nothing to stiff at with Summit Camp currently reading -45C (-49F). Could reach near -50 to -55C (-58 to -67F) in the coming nights but changes of a […]
While my winter ideas for both the US and UK have been out for a while now, it’s very important to remember that nothing is a deffinate and it’s important to look at everything. The information given to you, is what I think ‘should’ happen when factoring in all the variables. We know the past, present but it’s what lies ahead that […]
While a warming pattern is shaping up for a large swath of the US next week, this will be triggered by a trough dropping into the Pacific Northwest. This trough dropping south into the NW builds heights from the Southwest through the Plains and across to the East. Temperatures could rise into the 80s over the Plains, perhaps stretching […]
