While I am trying to figure out the pattern over the next few weeks, the best way I can explain what I am seeing right now is a seesaw with the continuation of an active Atlantic pattern, it’s a very up and down pattern. I am trying to understand how this pattern is evolving as we’re […]
The early October snows have been impressive in the last few days across the Rockies and Plains with yet more inches accummulating overnight across parts of North and South Dakota and Nebraska. While North Platte, Neb experienced their first snows of the season. Custer, SD recieved nearly 10″ of snow overnight. Where it didn’t snow, it was cold. […]
The latest run of the ECMWF shows the cold air spilling into the Northeast by Sunday, Monday and with a system running up the East Coast, while it only rains in the big cities, there’s a chance of an accummulating snow over the interior mountains from WV to ME. This cold appears to ease early […]
AS MUCH OF 14″ OF SNOW IS RECORDED 10 MILES NW OF BADGER, MINNESOTA WHILE THE LOW AT WEST YELLOWSTONE, MONTANA PLUNGES TO 5F THIS MORNING, WINTER HAS ARRIVED! It sure is getting cold across a large chunk of the Lower 48 and when looking back, years with weak El Ninos have often produced significant cold waves with record breaking snows […]
Shutterstock General Synopsis A frontal boundary drapped across the Southern half of the British Isles will have another wave of low pressure push along it through tonight bringing yet more heavy rain to the same areas which got soaked last night. The low and trough which has been so persistent over the past 5 days […]
I am strapped for time this morning so this is a short write-up, however the video goes into detail. Video is lengthy but I make several points which I want to you know about regarding this pattern. This is an important period, potentially a cross roads with the NAO returning to positive for a time. […]
It all started off with the recurvature of Super Typhoon Jelawat following a hit on Japan. This system was shown on modelling as a recurving storm and for many years, forecasters in the US would look at this as a sign of a ridge building up the western flank of North America while a trough dropping into the […]
Shutterstock General Synopsis The overall synoptic chart across the Atlantic is currently very complex with many low pressure centres dominating. The nearest low to the UK is north of Shetland at around 988 mb and over the next 24 hours it will track east and deepen, becoming a decent storm for southern Scandinavia. It is this low which has dominated the […]
Temperatures were in the 70s and 80s yesterday over Montana and during the overnight hours, the first of two strong cold fronts swept through dropping temperatures sharply and forcing snow to break out. These snows were falling earlier in the day yesterday over British Columbia and Alberta as the cold air rished south on the […]
Back on Sunday I made mention of the frost threat Wednesday night and probably Thursday night too as a clear slot developed in between systems. Sure enough, the North Highlands got off to a cold start this morning with a widespread frost following a night of clear, calm skies. Though chilly further south, a breeze as well as passing showers kept temperatures […]
