Minneapolis topped a record 57 degrees yesterday and bottomed out at 16 this morning. With the aid of fresh snow, albeit thin, temps are unlikely to get out of the 20s through the next few days with nights dipping into the teens, perhaps upper singles. https://twitter.com/NWSTwinCities/status/938048958735241216 https://twitter.com/UWCIMSS/status/938108851831955461 https://twitter.com/NWSTwinCities/status/938057082481364994 This appears to be the first in […]
In anticipation of the incoming Wed/Thu system, the Met Office has named Storm Caroline, the 3rd of the season so far. Caroline is a deepening feature driven by a large thermal gradient in the Atlantic. Here’s Caroline gaining strength out over the Atlantic today. With this system we’ll get a taste of both ‘very mild’ […]
With the presence of a deepening low you typically get warm southerly winds out ahead and cold behind. Well a strong arctic cold front associated with a deepening low crossing the North-Central states is pushing through Montana and into the Dakotas as of this writing. The first blizzard warnings of the season are in place […]
We have quite the temperature rollercoaster coming this week with warmth early to especially mid week follow immediately by bitter cold , wind and snow showers snow to end. A developing low riding the boundary between arctic and subtropical will cross the country later Wednesday into Thursday. Check out the 24-hour 850mb temperature difference between […]
No question, it’s been a warm month, especially for the Southwest. https://twitter.com/MaxDarrowTV/status/936739789251866624 https://twitter.com/NWSSaltLakeCity/status/936588690708680707 https://twitter.com/NWSPhoenix/status/936583159394603008 https://twitter.com/NWSElPaso/status/936591427940777984 https://twitter.com/NWSTucson/status/936687276628807680 https://twitter.com/NWSSanDiego/status/936685326717935616 https://twitter.com/SamArgier/status/936653132846710784

Early season arctic air has driven deep into Europe helping bring an early snowfall to Paris while even southern Spain endured a frost away from the immediate coast. It’s snowing across northern Spain this morning while temps slowly rise over the UK.

As expected, winds turned northeasterly last night and so cold winds blowing across a relatively warm North Sea Coast brought pockets of heavy, wind driven snowfall from Aberdeenshire down to Norfolk even the London area. Away from the east coast it’s was sunny but cool, especially in the breeze. These showers delivered some fine snow […]
I received a phone call this morning to say Aberdeen city centre was gridlock. If you took the GFS literally, a large swathe of Central Scotland could be severely disrupted next Thursday. I’m most certainly not saying it can’t happen. This pattern certainly could deliver but what the GFS is printing out would be a […]
