Seasonal Forecasts
There’s a lot of snow and cold air headed for the Intermountain West and Plains in the run up to Thanksgiving. In fact tomorrow looks nasty if your travelling the high road routes over the Cascades, Sawtooth, Bitterroots etc as wind and heavy snow combined may produce blizzard conditions. Last year saw a cold and snowy Thanksgiving for […]
Maritime Atlantic air has kicked the arctic air out of UK and now is now in the process of pushing it out of France and the Low Countries but not before snow and hard frosts bring the coldest starts of the season. The front has been pushing through metro Paris this morning where a cold rain is currently falling but further east […]
Despite the impressive blast of arctic air into the Midwest on the rear of one of November’s biggest snowstorms across Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan, November overall will wind up much warmer than normal east of the Rockies. Yesterday was a very cold day by November standards. However… month to date looks like this. It looks like we’ve a very interesting close […]
Despite the current cold blast with snow for some, frost for most, November 2015 will wind up well above normal temperature and precipitation wise, a complete flip from September and October’s tranquility. This turnaround in November was forecasted here since back in late summer as I strongly stated that the same drivers in summer, provide a […]

After a cold and for some, snowy weekend, milder Atlantic air makes a return for Ireland and the UK into the new working week. As a result of milder Atlantic air sweeping in from the west, the core of cold gets pushed into the near continent. Tonight starts cold across Northern Ireland and Scotland under clear sky and […]
I’ve been out digging in my garden this afternoon and into the evening (extending my driveway) and feeling rather tired so tonight’s write-up will be short I’m afraid. As snow clears and a cold sunshine returns to Iowa, it also looks like the snow is tapering off in Chicago. With at least 11.2 inches, it would seem the Windy City […]
The first blast of winter has well and truly arrived with the much anticipated ‘surprise snow’ for some, accompanied by a biting northerly wind which gusted to 71 mph on the Lincolnshire coast, leading to well below freezing wind chills. Sub-freezing wind chills shall continue through Saturday, especially nearer Irish Sea and North Sea coasts. Lighter winds and sunshine inland […]
With ridging driving warm air northward into Alaska, the building cold is being forced south. This very cold air is now connecting with the northern flank of the latest Pacific low crossing the Rockies into the central Plains. With moisture wrapping into the southbound ‘coldest air of the season’, much of Iowa, northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin and Michigan is in for the first major […]
There is a very distinct north-south contrast in temperature over Europe. In between, very heavy, flooding rains through northern France through Germany. To the north it’s turning considerably colder, to the south much milder. The GFS and ECMWF has been consistent at laying down the snows over many inland parts of the UK, today and through the […]
