Rest of World
In the past 4-6 hours, Tropical Storm Ernesto has gotten a lot healthier looking after nearly falling apart completely yesterday. In the graphic below you can see the pressure is now down to 994mb with maximum sustained winds now ramped up to 65 mph. I credit Joe Bastardi of WeatherBELL for seeing this coming and […]
The next 7-10 days will see the heat dominate the West with strong high pressure firmly established and centered over the Great Basin. This heat will expand up into the Northern Rockies as well as intensify over the Deserts by late week with 110s easily returning to both Las Vegas and Phoenix. Even Montana may see a few days […]
Seattle-Portland See First 90s, 100s in Two Years While Heat Streak Snaps For Parts Of Midwest, West
Following what has been a cool summer over the Pacific Northwest, yesterday saw Seattle, WA top the 90° mark for the first time in 2 years with a high eventually climbing to 93°. Portland, OR scorched to a record 102° yesterday and this was the first 100° in the Rose City since July 2009. According to The Weather […]
Little has changed over the past 24 hours with Tropical Storm Ernesto as she continues to push into the eastern Caribbean Sea but there are some signs it may be slowly strenghening and I continue to stand by my idea that this system will be a hurricane before Sunday is out, if not early Monday. The track […]
The heat has been relentless and outstanding across the Southern Plains but in the past 5 days it’s Oklahoma which have been centrepoint with Oklahoma City yesterday seeing day 16 at or above 100°, day 3 of 110°+ and an unprecidented day 2 of 112°+ and to top it all, they tied their all-time record high of 113°, set back […]
Well, there you go.. TD 6 is born and models have this system becoming Florence. Following weeks of nothing, all of a sudden the tropics are coming alive. Could be a busy month of August. I will keep you posted and on top of the storm..
It’s clear to see from this latest sat image that Ernesto is becoming better organised. She’s now showing signs of stronger, wrap-around convection over the centre with overall shape much more concentric. During Friday, the rapid 20-25 mph forward speed was creating shear and made this system look less organised with a lot of it’s convection off to the east but […]
Following the coldest July average minimum temperature in 30 years for Australia as a whole, the month of August has continued the cold trend thanks to the persistent high keeping skies clear at night which allows daytime warmth to quickly escape back to space at night. The cold in recent nights has advanced further north […]
It seems the cold has been never ending with clear skies, light wind and harsh frosts becoming the rule rather than exception this year across Australia following back to back cool, wet summers. While days are chilly but not outragous, it’s the nights which have grabbed headlines as a large chunk of interior and eastern Australia has suffered frosty, bitter […]
Well we now have Tropical Storm Ernesto on the playing field. It is nothing overly significant right now and there are a lot of Q’s as to how sustainable the environment in it’s path actually is. The general thinking right now is that this system will slowly intensify and with most models pointing this in […]
