North and South America
While 90-mph winds blasted southern Alaska yesterday, record rains fell too with as much as 8.17 inches of rain falling at normally dry(ish) Seward, a record which caused record river rises. According to AccuWeather, Resurrection River at Glacier Bridge rose to a record 19.97 feet. Grouse Lake at Grouse Creek rose to a record 9.71 feet. Both records […]
The current wild up and down setup is about to get wilder as a push of colder air is set to drop into the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes Friday into Saturday. The classic 540 height line which often indicates the rain-snow line will push far enough south and with precip associated with a storm system will present the real […]
Just about to shoot out the door but wanted to show you this. Check out both North America and Europe for the next several days.. Here’s what the ECMWF has for North America through next week! Brrr Of course what stands out is the amplification indicative of the negative NAO and the amount of early […]
There is a lot of energy over the Eastern Coastal Plain this afternoon with heat, humidity and a deep plume of tropical moisture riding north ahead of a strong frontal boundary seperating cool, dry Canadian air with warm, tropical air. It’s a real messy day with tornado watches out for sections of the I-95 from DC to […]
Just a quick early morning/late night (depending upon where you are) post. Wanted to show a you a couple of graphic maps showing what kinda rainfall we’re talking up the East Coast over the next 48 hours. The setup as you’ll know if you read my previous post is one of a wild amplified pattern […]
If you are into WILD WEATHER then this pattern is the one for you. The jet is buckling majorly over North America and the strong storm that produced 120 mph wind gusts over southern Alaska is acting like a major heat pump, effectively it’s pulling sub-tropical air out of the central Pacific and forcing it […]
There’s a heck of an early season cold period coming over the next 2 weeks for a large chunk of the US, east of the Rockies and for Europe, You’ve been warned! Given it’s still only mid-September, the pattern evolving is one of great interest both the NAO and AO going into the tank. Models have been […]
I thought I would cover a little on the warm AMO that we’re seeing and just how strong it has become. This is a key driver in our weather these days not just locally surrounding the basin itself but globally. This warm AMO is controlling or at least is having a strong influence on many […]
You’ll be well aware of the first in a series of troughs which will drop out of Canada early next week bringing unusually chilly air for so early so early into the Great Lakes, Midwest and Ohio Valley. The question is how cool will it get and how far south. From what I’m seeing just now, Monday through Wednesday will see […]
A trough trough with some very cold air by September standards is set to drop out of Central Canada next week and this appears to have the potential to end the growing season for many from the Canadian border of Minnesota-Michigan all the way down towards central Missouri. Widespread lows mid next week could be […]
