While the core of US drought remains over the Plains, 2013 is changing the shape with the West becoming more arid with time from San Francisco down to LA across to Phoenix and up to Salt Lake City. However, it’s been somewhat wetter over the Rockies thanks to recent late season snowstorms. Even in the Plains, despite severe drought holding […]
In yesterday’s and even other recent posts i’ve been showing you the greater liklihood of seeing troughs back into the East and hanging there, starting this weekend as the storm that’s sliding across the country pulls the trough in. If you live anywhere from Washington DC up to New Brunswick, make the most of the current warmth, […]
While it may be warm now from the Mississippi Valley on east, don’t get use to it. With the PNA going positive and both NAO/AO going negative, this pattern takes the mean trough east while riding builds over the West. By this weekend, it will be much cooler in the East. Remember the QPF I showed you […]
The slow movement of the second low tracking from Nevada into the Plains states will mean snows continue falling over the Colorado and Wyoming Rockies tonight and throughout tomorrow, adding to already large totals for some areas. As the system dips SE of Denver tonight, expect upslope snowfall to increase over the Laramie Range as well as down […]
The secondary low that has been closely monitored in recent days is now producing snowfall over the Rockies and now it’s looking like the focus of heaviest snowfall will be north of Denver due to the low tracking a little too close to Denver. This was highlighted back in yesterday’s post. In saying that, Denver may […]
We remember well the wild storm of last week with major snows, blizzard conditions, severe weather, heat and a massive temperature contrast along with 50-60 degree 24-hour temperature drop through the Rockies and Plains. At one point, temperatures were some 40-50 below normal in the West while in the East, they were 30 above normal in places. Thankfully the weather has settled down this […]
We had one heck of a wild week and incredibly, it most certainly appears that more of that comes back next week. Absolutely amazing for this late to see this amount of cold coming down out of Canada and with another strong Pacific system rolling through, you’ve got yet another major snow situation from the Colorado […]
Parts of the West are recovering after experiencing some exceptional April cold and believe it or not, this is not done despite the warm up taking place now. I know it’s frustrating, I hear ya, but this is one of those years where old man winter just does not want to make way for summer. […]
The warmup in the East was a reminder of what season we’re heading into but for some, it may have been a little warm, too fast as parts of the NYC Tri-State got up close to 90 while the DC-Baltimore area did reach 90 for the first time this year. Keep in mind that it […]
The storm barrelling across the heart of the United States right now is producing about as wild of as you’ll ever get at this time of year with mid-winter arctic air trailing behind a potent frontal system while summer-like air spreads out ahead. The system is drawing copious amounts of Gulf moisture and as this swings […]
