While it may be warm now from the Mississippi Valley on east, don’t get use to it. With the PNA going positive and both NAO/AO going negative, this pattern takes the mean trough east while riding builds over the West. By this weekend, it will be much cooler in the East. Remember the QPF I showed you […]
The slow movement of the second low tracking from Nevada into the Plains states will mean snows continue falling over the Colorado and Wyoming Rockies tonight and throughout tomorrow, adding to already large totals for some areas. As the system dips SE of Denver tonight, expect upslope snowfall to increase over the Laramie Range as well as down […]
Scotland A blustery night to come, as winds ease and with clear skies, it turns cooler. However winds will pick up through the second half of the night as the next front pushes in from the southwest, bringing another spell of wet and windy weather tomorrow with southerly gales. Everywhere will see a spell of heavy, […]
The secondary low that has been closely monitored in recent days is now producing snowfall over the Rockies and now it’s looking like the focus of heaviest snowfall will be north of Denver due to the low tracking a little too close to Denver. This was highlighted back in yesterday’s post. In saying that, Denver may […]
Two deep Atlantic lows will bring two bands of heavy rain accompanied by gale or severe gale-force winds to Northern and Western parts of Britain and across Ireland in quick sucession, tonight and tomorrow night with blustery showers following in between. Winds will widely top 50+ mph over Scotland, Northern England, Wales and right across […]
Scotland A brief break this afternoon from the strong wind and heavy showers from last night but tonight will see the arrival of the next Atlantic low, with pressure down into the 980s and it’s close approach to NW Scotland means gale-force winds tonight widely with severe gales to the NW. Those strong, potentially disruptive SW winds will […]
We remember well the wild storm of last week with major snows, blizzard conditions, severe weather, heat and a massive temperature contrast along with 50-60 degree 24-hour temperature drop through the Rockies and Plains. At one point, temperatures were some 40-50 below normal in the West while in the East, they were 30 above normal in places. Thankfully the weather has settled down this […]
Although this weekend is somewhat of a wash out for many across the UK, particularly in the west, I guess the milder flow extending all the way down towards the Azores is helping raise spirts as we try to get out of what is one of our coldest spring’s on record. For the Southeastern corner of […]
We had one heck of a wild week and incredibly, it most certainly appears that more of that comes back next week. Absolutely amazing for this late to see this amount of cold coming down out of Canada and with another strong Pacific system rolling through, you’ve got yet another major snow situation from the Colorado […]
Scotland It’s been a cold and damp Friday across much of Scotland although there have been breaks, particularly in the northeast but highs have been disappointing at 5-8C. Tonight will remain cloudy and damp across Central and Southern parts while clearer skies to the North will allow a colder and frosty night. Lows range between 2-4C where cloud […]
