Last week it was all about Sandy and her devastating impact on the Northeast, impacts which will be felt for years to come, this week it’s a Nor’easter and the first major snowstorm of the year. Unfortunately this Nor’easter as expected is causing problems as ‘inches’ mount up from DC to Boston and combined with […]
As highlighted way back last week and indeed forecasted months ago, we are seeing the NAO head well into positive territory. This was clearly outlined and I strongly stated the importance of a reload period during November, right be winter begins. As also expected, people are jumping all over this spike who are wishing for a warm winter. […]
Scotland Now that we’re back into a predictable, westerly flow, strongly influenced by the Atlantic, there is little change between day and night. Today is a dull, damp and windy day. With a westerly wind comes a mild flow with plenty of moist air streaming into western areas but with shelter in the east, it’s drier […]
Over an inch of rain fell in Atlanta, GA overnight thanks to the very system which will drift off the Southeast coast tonight into tomorrow morning. The first of two disturbances will have rounded the base of the trough and will commence it’s northward journey paralleling the Eastern Seaboard deepening as it does so. The second piece of […]
With a deep trough and low thicknesses centred directly over the Northeast along with high pressure supporting clear skies and calm winds, this long anticipated day, dawned with the coldest start throughout the region since last March.The weather since Superstorm Sandy has been tough for those who remain in homes without power as cold weather steadily lowers the temperature inside and when you get nights […]
Scotland Throughout this morning we saw the arrival of milder air following a cold, frosty and icy first part of the night. With the return of milder air, also came a lot of cloud, drizzle and a stiff westerly breeze and while today remain overcast with light and patchy rain, the milder feel was tempered by […]
Before heading out the door, I wanted to post quickly on the impending change in the US pattern which will follow this week’s Nor’easter. I am eager to post on this given the still-bad situation throughout New Jersey, NY and LI. Received an email from my friend Derek and he tells me […]
The very region hardest hit from Sandy exactly a week ago today, braces itself for another hit. This time from a regular but powerful Nor’easter. This storm will certainly pack a punch and more so than you would typically see given the weakened infrastructure, coastline, beaches, buildings, trees and power grid particularly across New Jersey, New York […]
Shutterstock Scotland Following a pleasant past few days throughout much of Scotland, it’s all change come later tonight with the return of wet and windy weather. On a plus side, if you don’t like the chilly conditions, especially at night, then you’ll like the push of milder air working in. Clear, Cold & Frosty For The Bonfire Tonight… Tonight […]
After a chilly regime over the past week 7-10 days, our pattern is different this week and possibly for most of November with the flow turning westerly rather than northwesterly (more of a zonal flow). This shuts down the cold maritime-polar air flow in which we’ve received a ocean modified Greenland source air mass. A purely maritime flow returns this week. +NAO/AO […]
