After a truly terrible past few days, the severe weather and tornado threat continues over the Southeast this evening with several spots under a tornado watch and warning as of this writing over parts of Georgia into the Carolinas. A fresh concern with this massive storm system is flooding rains up the East Coast through […]
It’s been a very sad past 48 hours across the Southern half of the country as supercells have spawned deadly and devastating tornadoes. Unfortunately this was a forecast that was correct. As dangerous, tornado producing storms loomed and struck the Tupelo, MS area, the SPC issued the first HIGH RISK of the season. According to […]
We have a wild pattern currently in place across the continent with twin troughs, both of which are bringing SNOW while we’ve a strong, toasty ridge in between which pumped 90s up as far as Kansas yesterday. Unfortunately the powerful upper low/trough which barrelled through the Southwest yesterday, bringing Las Vegas it’s first trace of rain in 57 days […]
There’s lot’s of hype about a super El Nino coming on. We saw a strong westerly burst in recent weeks but there is reason to believe that the hype is unjustified. Since the super nino of 1997, every nino that’s came on ever since, has been weak and short lived, largely down to the cold PDO. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] […]
It’s a busy weekend of weather with rain, thunderstorms over California which spreads east later Saturday and Sunday. Those storms turn severe east of the Rockies where conditions become more and more conducive for tornadic supercells.

This weekend’s potential severe outbreak will likely present an example of the pattern we can expect through the remainder of this spring and summer. By that I mean an air mass battle, power struggle between warmth and humidity trying to naturally build north but it will continuously come up against an overwhelmingly cold air flow streaming […]
We have some severe weather out there this afternoon and this should go on through tonight before easing down tomorrow. The weekend to me still looks ripe for severe weather as a more significant trough dives into the Four Corners with all the ingredients coming together for what’s likely to be the first big outbreak […]
Temps reached the warmest levels of the year so far today in Las Vegas with a high topping 93 degrees, all thanks to a building ridge over the Southwest and West. As we progress into the middle week period, a trough digs down out of Western Canada, pushing the ridge and warmth east into the […]
For a good couple of months now I have had a cooler than normal spring and summer across a large swath of the United States. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] The focus being over the areas which suffered the worst of winter. The region surrounding the Great Lakes continue to see spells of snow and unusually cold air […]
While the chill once again comes and goes, so our focus turns to a system gathering over the Southeast. The elongated low, currently positioned along the Florida Panhandle coast, has already dropped a couple of inches widely across the Southeast and is likely to drop a further few inches through the Easter weekend from Mississippi to North Carolina. Here’s the […]
