Remember back at the start of 2013, I along with many other forecasters talked and showed you the onset of a major stratospheric warming event which would split apart the polar vortex and drive the entire arctic reservoir down into the mid-latitudes, Well, these incredible images below are off weather.com, taken by Andreas Dörnbrack of that […]
It has been a decent weekend for snows stretching from North Dakota down through Chicago and into the Mid-Atlantic and even southern Appalachains with some potent lake-effect bands bringing 6-10, locally 12-18 inches of snow to parts of Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Upstate New York but another TWO systems will make an impact tonight into […]
A wild situation is evolving right now between Greenland and Scotland with winds now increasing here and are set to blow an all-out and ‘biting’, NW gale overnight into tomorrow. An elongated or stretched out 1034-1036mb high extending from Iberia to near North America, with a deep low centred near Iceland, not only stretches out the pressure field but tightens it. This means a gale with hurricane-force […]
It has been a largely mixed bag type of winter for the UK up till this point with two substantial cold spells which in fact were strong and long enough to make the overall December and January period colder than average for the UK (1st cold spell was snowless, 2nd a snow lovers paradise for many), remember the cold […]
Last night was in fact the coldest night of winter for North Dakota and western Minnesota while cold extended all the way to New York City and down to the Sunshine State. Northern North Dakota and Minnesota endured the coldest air in the nation once again with lows in spots hovering at between -25 and -35 by daybreak but air temperatures were […]
It really hasn’t been much of a winter this year across Chicago although, while snow has been sparse, it is colder than last winter at least. This morning marked the 2nd subzero low of the season at O’Hare International Airport and according to WGN-TV Chief Meteorologist Tom Skilling, the low of 0 and wind chill near -20, makes […]
The well advertised turn to not only colder but brighter weather is now moving in to make way for a bright and largely beautiful Saturday across much of the UK and Ireland, however you may want to grab a jacket before heading out the door. That north breeze will make it feel nippy out there. Don’t […]
Tonight may very well be the coldest of winter up in North Dakota and over parts of Northern Minnesota as temps dive into the -20s and 30s but it won’t be for the Arrowhead region as they’ve managed to get down to -42 already. For Chicago it’s heading for 0 by dawn, single digits all the way […]
I often show you the NAO and AO status, the daily model runs and every so often the stratospheric temps but now and again I try to show you something a little different. For about 10-14 days now I have given my own personal reasoning and showed you evidence to support my belief that we have plenty […]
As we look out into the longer term, there appears to be a swaying towards an up and down temperature profile through the first 15 days of February. The NAO and AO are going negative in the 7-10 day and with the PNA currently positive, the snapper in the works’ may be that it returns […]
