Summer 2017
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
The Arctic hammer is ready to drop on the Midwest and East next week so enjoy this weekend’s warmth… Here’s a look at the GFS sur/prec charts starting Tue of next week with the first of two waves driving SE behind a storm system which will bring leading edge heavy rains followed by heavy snows. […]
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. Check out these stunning winter wonderland images of Paris last night. https://twitter.com/severeweatherEU/status/936405773030182912 https://twitter.com/severeweatherEU/status/936392733593407489 […]
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 […]
The northerly continues to chill the UK but it’s nothing unusual for the time of year in all honesty. Today is cool, especially in the breeze but Thursday looks coldest with UK-wide temperatures in the 2-4C range following a widespread frost to start the day. -6 or -7C possible in shelter tonight. After what will […]
