Rest of World
The pattern is now undergoing major changes with the return of a more positive NAO/AO with modeling showing the flattening out of the jet which will push the cold air back up into Canada and allow maritime air to flood the Lower 48 for the most part. This will however send in storms as we progress […]
Jelawat has done what Sanba did recently, rapidly intensified, nearly doubling in strength within just 12 hours becoming a SUPER Typhoon over the warm waters of the Philippine Sea. Impress even more is the fact the the second straight super typhoon. This time around, 160 mph Super Typhoon Jelawat will continue it’s current northwesterly path but then will […]
Computer models show now-strong Hurricane Miriam taking a path which brings it ashore along the central Baja coast late this week. What’s significant is not so much the storm hitting this part of the world but the potential rainfall it could bring to the Northwest of Mexico/Southwest US as well as the Southern Plains. This […]
We’re now entering deeper into autumn with winter fast approaching. October is pushing ever closer and this transitionary month can be a critical telltale month as to what we may expect later down the road. It was Joe Bastardi a few years back who said to me that often (not always), where the wettest weather and trough sets up […]
A cold upper low passing over the Great Lakes Friday night brought the first snows to parts of northern Minnesota and Wisconsin with several reports of a trace to as much as 1-2 inches which of course melted quickly due to warm ground. Following a cool day Saturday, clear skies, light winds became established thanks to a lobe of colder air coming down […]
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 […]
