Seasonal Forecasts
This week is a very mixed bag, a little of everything from cold and frosty, wet and windy as well as mild. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] We start the week on a cool, blustery and for some, showery note. Northwest winds are never mild or warm, particularly at this time of year when surrounding waters are coldest. This […]
The latest snow system which pushed through the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast Friday has set the winter wheels back into motion. This upcoming 7-10 is about as wild as it gets in terms of winter weather, this late in the season. Not 1 but 2 snowstorms and 2 major shots of cold. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Here’s the GFS surface […]
After the excitement of the solar eclipse back on Friday combined with the spring equinox and super moon, it’s back to normality this upcoming week. Hope your all enjoying your weekend. A brief look at the week ahead… We had, for many, a stunning Saturday with plenty of mild sunshine under clear blue skies. Highs […]
Some impressive snow totals from the latest ‘spring snowstorm’. View of Downtown Newark, NJ tonight. Big totals in and around NYC. The current Mid-Atlantic snow event marks the return to a colder pattern for the Eastern US and Canada and the GFS ensemble is more impressive with the depth of trough in it’s 7-day means […]
Well it turns out that many of us got to see the solar eclipse 2015 thanks to brighter skies than expected. Here are some of the great images shared on my twitter page this morning (follow @MarkVogan). Birmingham Scottish Borders Sheffield Belfast Here’s my shot. Not great quality I know but you can still see […]
I have been consistently making mention of a LATE WEEKEND snow system for the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic… I must correct my poor timing error. It’s of course tonight and tomorrow this event. This could be pretty significant given the time of year!! Latest ECMWF continues to show healthy amounts from NYC down through Philly and possibly into Baltimore with an outside […]
Simply going by the current weather above our heads here in the UK and even across west-central Europe, i.e, Low Countries, Germany into Denmark, you’d never know the wild amplification of the jet stream currently streaming into Europe from the Atlantic. It’s about as wild and wavy as it gets. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] High pressure (south side of […]
A lot of rain through the next 10 days across the Southern Tier. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] The reason for the increase in southern rains is simple. An active southern branch jet stream tracks further south and thus able to tug on sub-tropical fuel that’s now naturally building and lifting north. There’s also the clash of southbound […]
Gone is the Scandinavian high and in comes the Azores high. The biggest difference between the two is lighter winds and brighter skies and with dry air, we’re seeing quite the temp difference (diurnal) between day and night. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Always that bit cloudier, mistier, murkier the closer you get to the North Sea Coast where winds […]
Another warm one yesterday and particularly so over the Central Plains. 1st 90s of the year showing up! Dramatic difference by early this morning. For some it’s 90s to 20s within 15 hrs. Classic spring setup… 20-30 degree temp collapse behind the front… 20-30 ahead of the front. Plains returns to winter while spring air […]
