It’s was like a January morning throughout the Midwest and East this morning with widespread 0s and 10s across New England, 20s across the rest of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic and even 30s down across the northern Gulf states. Let’s take a quick look at how the models are handling this morning’s cold compared to the actual numbers. The […]
There’s good agreement with all the big models that a ‘Modoki’ style El Nino will form this summer. (Modoki: Central Pacific based El Nino, typical during cold PDO’s) LINK: The El Niño Modoki TOP IMAGE: Courtesy of NASA [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Due to the cold PDO, El Nino’s tend to be weak and short lived. Joe Bastardi of WeatherBell points out […]
We continue to monitor the upcoming onslaught of more winter and extreme weather. The type of cold on the way is more suited to mid winter with a 1040 arctic high set to drop out of Canada. Temps will range between 20 and 40 below normal from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico by mid […]
We are seeing a significant strat warming event taking place from Siberia across the pole into northern Canada and this supports the coming arctic waves into the Lower 48 next 2 weeks and beyond. Check out the initial 10mb temps. Look at the orientation of the warming. Directly underneath is where the coldest air is. As heights rebuild up into Alaska, […]
Old man winter continues to ignore the calendar and despite us now heading for the later stages of March, it appears SNOW expands once again across the North over the next 10 days. No surprise given the air mass coming down later next week. Just how cold? It could well be as severe as the air […]
This March, never mind past winter, is turning out to be incredible when it comes to snow and cold. I keep asking myself, when will the snap occur, especially when it comes to the extreme. The Mid-Atlantic snowstorm turned out historic for areas such as the Washington area where a uniform 5-10 inches fell. Nearly […]
There’s no question that this winter has been a tough one from the Plains to Atlantic Seaboard with many Midwest and interior East cities recording a top 10 cold winter. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Given the pattern over the next 2 to 3 weeks, there doesn’t appear to be any sign of the rubber band snapping and a reversal […]
While we have a significant Mid-Atlantic snowstorm on the way, it would appear we’re starting to loose the extremity of the cold pattern. By that I mean the really brutal stuff compared to averages. However, there is NO SIGN as of yet, of any real warm spell coming up. Firstly, here’s how the winter played out (rankings) according […]
Hope you’ve enjoyed this week’s pleasant weather, albeit disrupted at times by cloud, mist and fog but at least we’ve had a sustained period without rain. As we continue to press through March, I continue to study the pattern we’re in, have been in and the influence our surrounding water temperatures may be having and […]
While New England gets pummelled by gales and heavy snow with upwards of 15 inches already down in parts of Vermont, further south, it was positively spring-like! Temps this afternoon warmed to near 70 as far north as Philly beyond the front swept through. That front prompted severe thunderstorm watches and gusts topped 50-65 mph […]
