Yes, on this day last year, we had an intense low sweep across Scotland packing 80-90 mph winds which caused damage, disruption. What’s significant about this system is that it was once once Hurricane Katia and this storm in particular I find is of particular interest because this is the name which replaced Katrina following the devastation caused […]
It was on this day a year ago that Ex-Hurricane Katia slammed Scottish shores producing damaging 70-80 mph winds and huge swells.

Tropical Storm Leslie continues to push off to the NNW at 17 mph with Newfoundland in her sights for an early Tuesday morning landfall. Given her presentation on satellite imagery and the fact that there is warmth surging north on the backside and cool, dry air feeding in from off North America, Leslie could well be already encountering […]
It’s been a pretty remarkable hurricane season this year when you think that there’s been a significant struggle for any tropical storm to organise and become a hurricane within the traditional breeding grounds. Joe Bastardi has alluded to this frequently on this. Each system has fought near constant dry air and or shear and Leslie has been no […]
The trough which brought frost and 32F readings to parts of North Dakota this morning and a few days of refreshing 60s and 70s across the Ohio Valley gets replaced by a ridge early this week and so the all too familiar heat and humidity returns to the east.
