The models remain persistent in producing some major heat this weekend over the Southwest Deserts up into the Central Valley with a couple of days at 110+ in Phoenix, Las Vegas, Fresno, Bakersfield up towards Redding. Check out the GFS numbers for Saturday and Sunday afternoon within the Central Valley with a heights near 560dc. Sat Sun [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] An interesting upper level low […]
Tropical Storm Andrea made landfall in Dixie County, Florida this evening at around 5.40pm with winds of around 65 mph and pressure estimated at around 993mb. As expected, this system came ashore with little spectacle, simply bringing very wet, blustery conditions and in fact earlier today, while this low was nearing the coast, the strongest winds were up […]
Soils have dried out considerably in the last 10 days across both the UK and Ireland while they’re saturated over central Europe. The warm, dry spell shall continue into early next week, potentially paving the way for later down the road. The cold spring has lead many into believing this summer would be just like last year and recent summers. […]

A rain bearing front associated with an unusually deep Atlantic low will sweep across Ireland and the UK breaking our bubble of high pressure. I also show the CFSv2 precipitation and temperature charts for […]
Scotland It’s a warmer day once again compared to yesterday thanks to sunnier skies, highs widely into the 18-21C range this afternoon although always cloudier, mistier and cooler in the East with an onshore breeze blowing in off the cool North Sea waters. Tonight is a repeat of the past several with a mix of […]
After a few hours sleep, I awaken to a named storm out in the Gulf and that name is Andrea! Though now a named system and while it will present fairly widespread gale-force winds with a smaller area of storm-force winds, little has changed in my overall thinking on this system. It’s heading into the Big Bend […]
There is no change to recent posts with regard to the continuation of warmth and sunshine across the UK and Ireland. This is hands down our best spell of weather this year so far and it’s not over. Those who have endured cloudier skies and cooler temperatures today, don’t fret, the pesky low between Scotland and Norway will drift away allowing […]
Scotland Today has been cooler and cloudier with at some least sunshine breaking through which has helped warm things up as well as increase humidity. You’ll notice the slight mugginess in the air along with some rain showers too, those particularly over higher ground. Highs are widely in the upper teens with perhaps a few spots at […]
There’s no shortage of convection over the Gulf but the only trouble is the developing low helping fuel the storminess and spreading plenty of moisture north into Florida is well off to the west, just off Cancun, due to a lot of dry air covering much of the Gulf and strong northwesterly shear. The below water vapour image […]

In today’s video I look next week as well as try to tie in a possible link between the central Europe floods/Drier UK and the possibility of feedback which drives the summer […]
