The ECMWF continues to show the wild Northeast snowstorm mid to late next week but it’s showing a more interesting and exciting bigger picture. Modelling overall has become pretty consistent at forcing sharp height rises up towards Hudson Bay through the next 10-15 days and that is a cold, stormy setup for the Lower 48. In the upcoming 7 day […]
We have two very interesting weather events coming up next week despite a lot of the focus in some circles being about the ‘warm-up’. 1) We’ve a SNOWSTORM coming to the Northeast… warm-up right? and 2) more significant rain will effect a large swath of California. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Unfortunately this is a very brief write-up tonight. […]
While California has just got hit by the biggest rain storm probably since the start of 2014, it won’t be the last, in fact plenty more wet weather is on the way next week and beyond. We have a different upper air pattern setup over North America compared to what we saw much of November as […]
November ends completing a warmer, drier than normal Fall for drought ravaged California. Here are some stats. Current drought situation. Remains SEVERE! The good news is that we’ve a Pacific storm now pushing in and this will bring probably the biggest rains since March. A soggy Tuesday morning commute from San Francisco down to Los Angeles. […]
Following in the footsteps of November, December and winter dawns on a frigid note down the Plains all thanks to the latest powerful 1045mb arctic high. A seemingly permanent feature since October. A feature which dominated last winter and will probably do so again this year. Temps this morning were once again widely down to low single digits or below […]
It looks like November 2014 ends in the top 5 for cold as another hammer comes down out of the arctic. We’ve a major battle between warm and cold this morning with temps are crashing to the north. The resurge in heights over Alaska in recent days is forcing another southward push of North America’s […]
We’re seeing a new surge of warming at 30mb above Siberia. The 3rd since early October. Each burst of warmth from Siberia into northern North America has brought record cold into the Lower 48. This latest burst only confirms or reinforces my ideas for December and the winter overall. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] I believe another potentially record cold outbreak […]
I forgot to mention in today’s video… Happy Thanksgiving to all and what a chilly one it is too. It hit -28 in Jamestown, ND while International Falls hit -19 this morning. -2 in the Twin Cities. All by far the coldest to date. This morning’s lows. Hasn’t warmed much today… Here’s why.. just look […]
Last winter was of course cold and snowy for most of the Lower 48. The thing is, it was predominantly fuelled by a warm NE Pacific but based on additional cold signals and recent ‘cold trend’ of the last 12 months or so, I ask the question, could we see a ‘super’ cold outbreak this winter? A severity of cold not seen since 1994? [s2If […]
Highs today rose into the upper 60s to low 70s with daily records falling tumbling but by Wednesday, a coastal storm develops along the boundary separating warm and cold and along with wind and snow, highs won’t get much above 35 from Virginia up to New England. Temps this afternoon from the Mid-Atlantic to southern New England. Here’s the latest […]
