The cold continues to deepen over the UK with models persisting in bringing in our coldest 5,000ft temperatures of the entire winter. Now that’s quite impressive given that it’s now Feb 21st. In saying that I recall seeing our second coldest night during last year (last winter), in May with a low of -6C. Stranger things […]
Scotland A cold day with a cold breeze sets the stage for what will be a very cold night in store across Scotland. The current cloudcover for many is expected to clear and with light winds temps freefall towards -2 to -4C in urban areas while -5 to -10C readings are likely outwith the urban heat island. Friday looks largely fine and dry […]
After bringing rain, wind and mountain snows to California, all the way into Baja California with even a tornado sighted between Red Bluff and Chico, that same storm is now pushing across the Desert Southwest bringing nasty conditions to Arizona into New Mexico. The upper low brought donw very cold air and thus snow levels dropped to […]
As well as the much cloudier skies, did you notice the colder feel with increase in breeze over eastern parts of the UK today? The cold front pushes through overnight but it was weak with little or no precipitation associated with it. The reason for the lack of precip with this front is simply because it’s drawing […]
Scotland The main theme over the next 72 hours is a downward trend in temperature. A cloudy day may give way to somewhat of a clearer night tonight and that means a widespread frost with lows at or below freezing. Perhaps -5C or -6C in sheltered spots which have clearest skies. Tomorrow will be brighter but highs will […]
So, after the storm sweeps across Southern California tonight, it will head east, northeast through Colorado and it’s as the system crosses the Front Range that things getting interesting and wild. The circulation once out over the Plains will draw warmth and high amounts of liquid north. In the WARM SECTOR, expect not only bigtime […]
One of the stronger systems to impact Southern California this winter will drop right into the LA Basin/San Diego area tonight bringing pre-frontal strong, gusty winds, then a spell of heavy rain before the upper low drops directly overhead of SOCAL. Once the front pushes through, expect heavy, thundery showers, gusty, cold backside winds, particularly along the coast. Watch out […]
While I am beginning to look towards spring and what are weather may have in store, there is increasing evidence to suggest a much drier pattern is setting up as we progress towards March. One key question for me is will this be a long lived shift to drier or temporary. We may also see a pattern […]
It’s a stormy night with heavy thunderstorms running along a frontal boundary stretching from Louisiana up into Wisconsin. This is the first of two systems this week which will bring a rounds of heavy rain and sporadic severe weather with backside snows. Here’s the current weather chart off weather.com showing the front and the line of storms […]
