The rather benign, quiet UK pattern continues and will do so into early next week but the change we all know is inevitable, arrives probably Tuesday as our high pressure slides east into Europe, allowing low pressure and fronts to push back in from the west. I will make no secret though, this is the type of pattern where it […]
As per usual there is a lot of confusion, excitement, anticipation, even hype perhaps about the potential snowstorm next week along the East Coast. The uncertainty will remain up until Monday of next week AFTER the system and it’s energy crosses the Rockies and Plains, a key area in which we’ll be able to gage both […]
After a bout of heavy rain, wind and heavy mountain snow at the start of last week, the pattern flips around once again across Southern California. Today through Saturday, it’s all about the warming Santa Ana winds and record warmth. Downtown Los Angeles is currently 84 degrees with several surrounding communities way up in record-breaking mid-80 degree territory and […]
Our current dry streak has been ongoing now for the best part of 2 weeks. There are hints of change mid next week to a somewhat more unsettled pattern once again. The current spell is allowing soils to really dry out nicely. So why the sudden change following a super wet past 11 months? Firstly we have […]
Scotland High pressure will remain the dominant feature through the weekend with a mix of sun and cloud for many, staying dry except for the North with cloud is thickest bringing some light rain or drizzle. Clear skies tonight for central and eastern areas will lead to a frost with lows between 0 and -2C, perhaps […]
It sure has been a wild February across a large chunk of the country with the recent focus being particularly on the southern plains extending north into the central plains and Lower Midwest. Wichita has just experienced it’s snowiest month while Kansas City saw it’s second snowiest February on record. Down in Amarillo and they endured their largest single day […]
Scotland After several days under brilliant sunshine, skies clouded over this afternoon thanks to the presence of a weak front, this will keep the cloud over most areas tonight into tomorrow and so overnight lows should hold slightly above freezing. During Friday, the best of the bright or sunny skies will be largely confined to […]
Very briefly this morning I wanted to show you what the Jamstec long range model was showing for the upcoming spring (March through May) and the summer (June through August) was saying. If you’ve been reading in recent days I think you’ll have gathered that I’m clearly linking now the current ‘dry spell’ to a potential longer term […]
The dry, stable air mass continues to sit over British air space and in fact with pressures rising across England, the sunshine has extended further south today bringing not only much needed sunshine but also warmer temperatures. The persistently clear skies, light winds and dry air has allowed for another day with large diurnal temperature swings, particularly over sheltered […]
Scotland Enjoy this final day of near wall to wall sunshine as the upper ridge overhead backs west just enough to allow a weak front to slide south over the country tonight through Thurs. While little precipitation falls, an increase in cloud will be the noticable feature and with more cloud, night temps will be up […]
