The heat is on from Los Angeles all the way to Billings, Mont and Bismarck, ND as temperatures are set to soar into the 90s during Monday. It is this blast of heat surging north over the Western US which is tapping unseasonably cold arctic air over northern Canada and driving it south over the eastern half of the US, […]
In last night’s US and UK posts I shared my latest thoughts on the next 3-6 weeks with a cooler than normal pattern likely to continue into June for both the UK and eastern US, however I have been wanting to share some early thoughts on next winter with you for a while. Despite being many months away and […]
The pattern is STILL on the crazy cold side with another atmospheric temper tantrum coming up. I saw tweets coming out this afternoon of snow falling up across parts of Ontario down into the UP of Michigan and even as far south as Minneapolis. That’s the leading edge of a cold arctic high which could threaten all-time record lows Sunday through Monday night from […]
Thought I would provide a quick update on next week’s pattern and my latest thinking on potential warmth next weekend. As I tweeted earlier today, the key to whether we get warm, sunny weather next weekend or not is down to the low overhead mid week. It’s position, movement and whether it cuts off from the main […]
I posted last night about the period between next Wednesday and Saturday as one to watch for a possible return to warm weather. Interestingly, this morning run of the ECMWF suggested a better hint and the very latest run shows the return of summer-like warmth into next weekend. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] A large low will bring us a very […]
This weekend is setting up to be a record breaker for both heat and cold thanks to a highly amplified and extreme pattern over North America, sound familiar? Mid-summer level heat will build from Los Angeles through Denver all the way to North Dakota Sunday into Monday with temps back into the 90s for LA and for the first time […]
Scotland After a fairly wet afternoon across Central and Southern areas, the rain shifts north for a time this evening but as the front hooks round, another band of rain will sweep into the West through the overnight. Lows tonight dip to between 5-7C. Saturday starts off damp in the West while it’s a somewhat […]
The next 4-7 day period is looking rather unsettled over Northwest Europe with the models suggesting another 1-2 inches of additional rain through the next 72 hours across the northern half of Ireland, much of Northern Ireland and the western half of the UK with greatest amounts over Southwest Scotland and western Wales. Through the next 192 […]
Scotland The unsettled theme continues into tonight with today’s band spreading north of the Central Lowlands up into Aberdeenshire, however further pulses of rain will work into the South, pushing north during the overnight. Lows tonight range from 5C where skies are clearest for longest, 7 or 8C for most. Friday is looking somewhat drier to […]
For the best part of a week now, I’ve been monitoring an unseasonably deep trough in which the models have been hinting at which will dive into the Eastern half of the US early next week. That trough which could deliver frost all the way to the Tennessee and Georgia mountains with all-time May record lows challenged throughout the spine […]
