Winter 2015/16
If you live anywhere from the Central Lowlands northward, prepare for storm to hurricane-force gusts from 5pm onwards today. There’s widespread travel disruption already with some lorries being blown over and a gust of 84 mph forcing the complete closure of the Forth Rd Bridge. Earlier visible satellite view. Midday update 2pm update Expect a particularly […]
It’s all eyes on a major storm system pushing into California over the next 24 hours. Lot’s of rain, wind and snow can be expected but so too can flooding and mudslides. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Once the system crosses the southern Rockies, ingredients of cold, dry, warm and wet come together to produce a major snowstorm/blizzard from […]
Going by recent trend in models and latest runs, it looks like Henry will pack as much punch across Northern Ireland and Scotland as Gertrude did tomorrow. Time to batten down once again. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] ECMWF surface Wind gusts Core of strongest winds may in fact be a little further south than Gertrude’s, therefore the Central […]
As your well aware we have a big system system rolling across the country from LA to Lansing this week that’s likely to produce blizzard conditions from Denver to Des Moines. In it’s wake we get the first of 2, maybe 3 waves of Arctic/Siberian air. According to the latest run of the GFS, the 2nd wave looks strikingly similar to […]
Yesterday saw the stormy, wicked side of Gertrude and today sees the wintry side as colder air flows across the Northern UK in it’s wake. Today will remain very windy, cold and snowy at times with frequent gusty showers rattling through. Earlier radar. Many including myself woke up to a fresh covering of snow this morning. […]
The storm system about to cross the West Coast within the next 36 hours is likely to bring significant snow for the Sierra Nevada, Wasatch all the way to the Upper Midwest followed by potentially the coldest air of winter. This system will be a big rain and snow producer for California and Southwest. Here’s the latest GFS surface […]
As predicted and highlighted here back at the start of the week, Scotland is getting hammered today by the strongest system yet with widespread gusts to 70 mph but we’ve even seen exposed low elevation areas such as South Uist Range and Forth Road Bridge record gusts over 90 mph. Stunning visible satellite view of the storm […]
Just when you thought we couldn’t get any more rain and flooding as well as strong wind. In all honesty the next 3-4 day stretch looks to be the stormiest of winter with a tremendously turbulent spell of weather gathering out over the Atlantic. WARNING ISSUED FOR SEVERE GALES, FLOODING RAIN, SNOW AND ICE There’s a large temperature […]
I think it’s safe to say the late week storm misses the Northeast while a clipper-like feature pushes over the Great Lakes bringing snow showers and possible lake effect. The two systems don’t phase and so the Northeast can relax (for now) give or take flurries, perhaps a coating. Into next week and things get […]
We continue with the wet and windy theme as we open Wednesday but when taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture, there’s some real signs of change as we enter winter’s final month. Back to the here and now and blustery showers across Scotland will turn to snow this morning into afternoon […]
