Just about to shoot out the door but wanted to show you this. Check out both North America and Europe for the next several days.. Here’s what the ECMWF has for North America through next week! Brrr Of course what stands out is the amplification indicative of the negative NAO and the amount of early […]
There is a lot of energy over the Eastern Coastal Plain this afternoon with heat, humidity and a deep plume of tropical moisture riding north ahead of a strong frontal boundary seperating cool, dry Canadian air with warm, tropical air. It’s a real messy day with tornado watches out for sections of the I-95 from DC to […]
Today was similar to yesterday with some heavy, thundery showers rattling into northern and western areas of Scotland though much less widespread compared to yesterday. Some of those showers were reportedly containing a mix of rain, sleet and snow and not just to high levels up over the Northwest Highlands, no real surprise given how cold […]
Just a quick early morning/late night (depending upon where you are) post. Wanted to show a you a couple of graphic maps showing what kinda rainfall we’re talking up the East Coast over the next 48 hours. The setup as you’ll know if you read my previous post is one of a wild amplified pattern […]
If you are into WILD WEATHER then this pattern is the one for you. The jet is buckling majorly over North America and the strong storm that produced 120 mph wind gusts over southern Alaska is acting like a major heat pump, effectively it’s pulling sub-tropical air out of the central Pacific and forcing it […]
The heavy, stinging showers of today should ease through tonight with some lingering in places but with a flow drawing increasingly cooler air down from the NW, under those clear skies, it will feel cold tonight. Even in those passing showers, temperatures may hover at only 5 or 6C with sleet or snow falling over […]
There’s a heck of an early season cold period coming over the next 2 weeks for a large chunk of the US, east of the Rockies and for Europe, You’ve been warned! Given it’s still only mid-September, the pattern evolving is one of great interest both the NAO and AO going into the tank. Models have been […]
Typhoon Sanba came crashing ashore early this morning (around 6am local time) local time in the northeast of the southern Japanese island of Okinawa as an estimated 120 mph (Cat 3) storm. Wind gusts were measured at approximately 149 mph according to JTWC. As well as packing tremendous, screaming winds, it also dumped a tremendous amount of rainfall across the island which […]
I thought I would cover a little on the warm AMO that we’re seeing and just how strong it has become. This is a key driver in our weather these days not just locally surrounding the basin itself but globally. This warm AMO is controlling or at least is having a strong influence on many […]
If the pattern that’s evolving next week was to be 3 months from now, I would have had plenty of snow and cold in the forecast for the UK, unfortunately it’s only mid-Sept BUT we are likely to see our first ‘cold’ days with highs struggling in Scotland, Northern England and a large parts of Ireland to only […]
