The incredible April storm has already produced winds of up to 150 mph over Mammoth Mountain and through tonight may produce damaging easterly winds through Salt Lake City thanks to the tremendous pressure gradient between a 1036mb high over western Canada and a sub 985mb low over southern Colorado. While winds scream across the Wasatch and adjacent ranges tonight, heavy […]
It’s been a long, cold and snowy winter across much of the US but as temperatures begin to warm, this puts us all in the mood for warmer days, barbeques, the beach and vacation. As we’re getting deeper into spring, the role of rainfall becomes more and more important as distribution of precipitation can very much determine what kind […]
The US weather map is about to go wild early and mid week with a textbook spring storm setting up. A very impressure thermal gradient will set over over the Plains as the system matures over Texas, supporting temps 20-40 below normal over the Rockies/western high plains while it may get to nearly 30 above normal over the interior Mid-Atlantic with 80s as far north as Philadelphia, […]
Although there’s snow falling across the Northern Plains at the moment, the weather map is relatively quiet at the moment across the US but that changes in a big way early next week as a major spring storm develops from an upper disturbance which swings into California from the Gulf of Alaska. All the key […]
Thought it would be a good time to look at the global SST’s and tie in some interesting anomalies which have appeared during the cold second half to winter across the Northern Hemisphere and also look at the deep tropics and potentials with the upcoming Atlantic Basin Hurricane Season. Firstly, here’s the current global SST’s as […]
There is most certainly light at the end of the tunnel in terms of the breakdown of this stubborn cold pattern which still dominates the Northern Plains down to the Mid-Atlantic. Through next week we will see a significant, 180-degree turnaround in temperature from 30s and 40s this week from North Dakota to West Virginia to […]
The website went down briefly this morning and when doing so, it unfortunately wiped out both yesterday’s UK and Ireland Regional Forecast and the post I did overnight on the US pattern through next week, so, here’s a fresh and updated post for you and additionally, a video to go with it… Folks, we have a 180-degree pattern flip coming […]
While April may bring one of the coldest openings in 20 years for parts of the Canadian Prairies and US, spring DOES appear to be on the horizon according to the models but it’s going to get colder before it get’s warmer. Patience has been key throughout March and in fact winter this year never really got going until February. What […]
While spring-like warmth takes a decent shot at the Upper Midwest Saturday with highs nearing 50 all the way to Minneapolis and the low 60s for Chicago, unfortunately this is going to be a brief tease as another shot of healthy arctic air dives south from Canada during Easter Sunday. Both Midwest cities will see 25 […]
There is good and bad news over the coming 5-7 days, the good news is warmth returns to a cold Southeastern part of the country where highs have averaged 10-20 below normal persistently. Snow showers have been off and on across northern parts of Alabama, Georgia (incl Atlanta) with record or near record lows observed all […]
