Scotland It’s turning increasingly cloudy with an area of rain, sleet and snow pushing into Western Scotland just now. With the cold air in place, expect to see snow for a time even to low levels before milder air pushes in and yes the temperature will rise through the overnight. Clearer and so colder in […]
We have a complex and dangerous weather situation currently over the Southern Plains as a low pressure system rolling along the southern periphery of the cold dome brings snow, sleet, freezing rain and significant icing issues to Texas up into Oklahoma ENE into Arkansas. Already we’ve seen some nasty conditions out there as ice lies […]
As forecast, the much anticipated, rapidly intensifying storm which forecasters have been closely watching for days struck northern Britain early this morning. The storm which formed rapidly over the northeast Atlantic to the south of Iceland and close to Scotland was fuelled and energised by a large thermal gradient and supported from above by a mighty 160kt+ jet stream which a strong low […]
It’s brutal already from Edmonton down to Denver and the arctic air continues to bleed south into Texas, setting the stage for a wild and rough next 90-hour period from the Southern Plains up through the Ohio Valley. It’s already around -20° at this hour over Wyoming and it will grow colder in the coming […]

Scotland WARNING: POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGING GUSTS OF WIND THURSDAY WITH 80 MPH GUSTS POSSIBLE THROUGH THE CENTRAL LOWLANDS This afternoon’s bright but brisk appearance is the calm before the storm and the storm itself arrives overnight tonight, making it’s presence felt most probably around mid morning Thursday. Tonight will see rain push in from the Atlantic with westerly […]
The complex snow, ice, rain and cold pattern talked about here since way back early last week is now well underway with big snows already fallen and continue to fall over the Cascades and particularly over the Northern Rockies east across the Dakotas into the western Great Lakes. That’s thanks to a low crossing the top of the […]
A rather innocuous ‘dent’ embedded within a brisk west upper flow is soon to take centre stage on our weather maps here in the UK and Western Europe over the next 72 hours. This mere dent is soon to become a major Atlantic depression with pressure expected to plunge some 20 to 40mb over a 12 to 24 hour period […]
Scotland After a dull, damp but fairly mild day for much of Scotland, it turns chilly tonight as skies clear out. Lows should dip close to freezing in the major towns and cities, a little below in outlying areas with frost and ice a potential issue for the Wednesday AM commute. Wednesday looks much brighter but despite […]
We have a truly wild next 14 day period across the Lower 48 and the wild stuff has begun over the Pacific Northwest, Rockies and by tomorrow, the Dakotas with a low which is drawing on some of the coldest air not seen in some time. The combination of warm air flowing north up through the Rockies, […]
