After a few days of spectacular and very rare levels of cold for so early, we watch closely the developing storm that’s poised to push up the East Coast in the coming days bringing a howling coastal gale, heavy, flooding rain and yes snow. That’s the same system which produced record snowfall in Oklahoma where over a […]
As advertised here throughout the past week, we’ve seen one of the strongest arctic high’s in some 10 to 20 years drive southeast from Alaska and is now shivering the Midwest and East in temperatures more suited to mid-January with temperatures from northeast Mexico all the way to southeast Canada in the 20-35 below normal […]
We have some incredibly interesting weather unfolding across much of the US as a storm system brings some much needed rain to parts of Southern California while snows are breaking out now over the Southern Plains where highs were stuck in the low to mid-20s today, that’s quite a drop from yesterday’s mid and upper 70s. In fact, while […]
Beneath the core of a super cold arctic high, the temperature plunged to a bone-chilling -55 degrees at Rabbit Kettle, NWT this morning while many surrounding locales stretching from eastern Alaska to southeast Yukon dropped below -40. That’s a January-like air mass even by this typically cold, snowy region at this time of year and this […]
We have some truly mid-winter like air right now up over Alaska and the Yukon with readings in the -40s this morning. Even some 1-1,500 miles to the south, Calgary didn’t make it out of the 0’s today which show the extent of this arctic air mass. The core of that -40 air will dive into the heart […]
Last week’s Midwest and Eastern cold blast hit while both the NAO and AO was strongly positive but given that those indexes are heading towards neutral and negative, it’s plausible to believe what both the GFS and ECMWF are showing for the US late this week into next. While the last blast was a chilly one, that would […]
We have a dangerous severe weather situation unfolding this afternoon and tonight over the Ohio Valley as a deepening surface low pushes northeast over the Great Lakes with warm, moist air flowing up from the Gulf as well as the Atlantic while cold, arctic air flows out of the northwest, on the backside of the low. A strong 70kt low […]
When looking at the modelling and projected indexes (trending -NAO/AO/neut PNA), the arctic air looks to hold strong over the snowfields of Canada with lobes dropping into the Lower 48 next 2 weeks. Here’s the North America snow cover difference between this time last year and now. Note most of Canada is white and this will help […]
As well as the impressive JANUARY-LIKE cold in which Charlotte, NC broke a record with a low of 21 while many Appalachian Mountain resorts dropped into the teens and Sugar Mountain, NC hit 10, we also saw rare snow. Last night saw the arctic front drive all the way south through coastal South Georgia and South Carolina […]
