Rest of World
It’s warming up nicely across much of the Lower 48 with 80s reaching all the way to North Dakota yesterday. It’s looking like Phoenix will see their first 100 today while Las Vegas gets there Monday. Following yesterday’s high of 108, Death Valley may climb into the low 110s either today or tomorrow. If you live in Salt […]
Today is most certainly the warmest day of the year so far across the Northern Plains and boy what a turnaround from just a few days ago when it hit 10 degrees all the way to the Texas Panhandle and highs were stuck at or below 32 for many places in Kansas. Today, temperatures are already soaring into […]
This April will be one many of us remember for a very long time, especially those living in the Northern Plains where spring has yet to arrive, although it will over the next 24 hours! This April has set astonishing all-time records for snowiest month in cities well familiar with snow, Duluth and Rapid City with over […]
Just when you thought it couldn’t get any colder and more outrageous this April, we’ll it did over the central Plains yesterday as parts of Kansas didn’t even manage to reach freezing, that’s a solid 40° below normal and for April 23rd, that to me is comparable to the ‘off the scale’ records being set for heat last […]
The continuation of cold records being set is quite amazing and when you see lows down to single digits in South Dakota (8° at Huron, latest single digit reading on record!), 12° in Rapid City on April 23, it’s amazing so late in the season. Lows dove back into the 20s all the way into the […]
It’s been an incredibly cold and snowy spring across the Rockies, Central and Northern Plains and we’ve seen yet another major snow dump upwards of 18 inches on the Black Hills of South Dakota Sunday into Monday while earlier today, the Braves vs Rockies game was cancelled in Denver due to snow. More cold comes down […]
A major late April cold blast dove all the way to the Gulf Coast this weekend with 30s even reaching Florida this morning. While the South shivered, another wave of unseasonable cold is dropping out of Canada tonight and on the leading edge of this strong cold front, heavy snow shall break out from Montana through Wyoming, Colorado […]
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 […]
