It’s just another frigid January morning for the Northern Tier. In fact the coldest of winter so far for some! Helped of course by snow cover and a 1044 high. Tomorrow am looks coldest for some parts of OH, MI, PA, western NY. TOP IMAGE CREDIT: D.J. Kayser [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] What’s coming! Based on the […]
This week isn’t going to be all that warm but there is undoubtedly a ‘warming trend’ following the frigid open to the month. Despite all the talk about warmer weather… here were this morning’s lows. 1044 high over MN-IA tomorrow. Here comes that warm-up.

Looks like a modest early week snow system for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast as yet another, albeit weaker high brings an additional cold shot into the nation. ECMWF GFS [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] While we have a warming trend over the next 7-10 days, there’s solid support now showing in the models for a return to the arctic […]
It’s another cold start across the Plains, Midwest and East thanks to the 3rd arctic high settling overhead. The good news for those tired of the cold is that temps haven’t been quite as bad as last January (up till now anyway) and there is moderation on the way. However, we’re watching closely the potential […]
Though it may not be quite as extreme as last January, the much anticipated, near 1060 arctic high hasn’t disappointed cold weather lovers with not just the bitter chill reaching all the way to the Gulf Coast but SNOWFALL has been spotted over Florida. This morning’s lows. 15 all the way to Florida! [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] It even snowed THIS […]
The arctic high descending south over the US now may break high pressure records as well as cold in the coming 2-3 days. It may be cold now across the Plains, Midwest and East, especially with the howling NNW wind but it’s later today and tonight as high pressure core moves in, that winds drop and […]
WRITTEN THIS MORNING BUT FAILED TO POST! Brutal cold is already in place over the N Plains and Midwest and as is often the case with major arctic outbreaks, a clipper system runs the stinging NW air flow. Cold air initially sinks south but a clipper follows and it’s behind that where the coldest air of […]
This week’s arctic outbreak will be impressive but one of the best tests will be how severe it gets and whether it’s as impressive as last January’s. This is actually the 2nd of 3, maybe 4 highs which drive cold into the Lower 48 through the first 2 to 3 weeks of 2015. Last week’s […]
The air mass that’s ready to drop out of Canada sure means business. On the charts certainly but will it deliver the kind of severity we saw last early/mid-January when Green Bay hit 18 below, Chicago hit 16 below, Cleveland 9 below, Charlotte and Atlanta 6? Snow cover has increased significantly in the last 5 days from the 1st of […]
Happy New Year everyone! The arctic door reopened early this week and so temps have been plummeting. Each morning, it’s gotten that bit colder further south as the near 1060 high migrated south. The core of the cold has been focused over the Rockies and Western Plains but this morning it’s reached all the way […]
