This system will bring locally heavy rain to the northeast Caribbean Islands on Wednesday. This may pose a threat to the Bahamas and Southeast U.S. coast late this week into the […]
For the Great Lakes, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, August 2016 and I suppose the summer of 2016 overall will stand out as warm and very humid. A lot of this can be attributed to drought, a strong Bermuda high and unusually warm waters helping drive rainforest level humidity all the way to New England. Two other areas which stand out as very warm this […]
So, we have a strong upper ridge centred over the interior Pacific NW providing record warmth all the way to the WA-OR coast while a trough is deepening southward over the N Rockies/Plains. A strengthening storm marking the separation will track NE through the Great Lakes with warm, humid, juicy air ahead, cool and dry […]
While we’re talking fall-like temps in the 50s and 60s over the Northern Plains, we’re talking record 90s and 100s for the Pacific Northwest. The extremity of the ridge and 10-15 above normal is contributing to the 10-20 below normal east of the Rockies. Severe Weather Returns to the Plains, Midwest and Great Lakes Through Saturday […]

With the combination of warm water and good atmospheric conditions, 96L was born and days later TS Earl was born west of the Lesser Antilles. Over the even warmer waters of the southwest Caribbean Sea, Earl […]
Aside from heat and humidity we have two other significant weather stories currently unfolding, 1) the remnants of Earl may cross Mexico and get out over the warm waters of the east Pacific and reform and 2) a stalled system over the northeast Gulf of Mexico could drop up to 20 inches of rain in NW […]

As population and wealth along parts of the U.S. coast have exploded since the last stormy period, experts dread the potential damage and harm once the drought ends. Three historically unprecedented droughts in landfalling U.S. hurricanes […]
Earl made landfall early this morning (Thursday) as a Category 1 hurricane near Belize City causing wind damage and flooding from rain and storm surge. Interestingly, Earl is only the 3rd August hurricane landfall in Belize history. The last time? 1918 and the only one prior was way back in 1864. So this landfall in this part of the […]
