Arctic air continues to blast south this evening and it sure has grabbed the attention of millions of shivering Eastern and Southerners. As the front has steamed through, we’ve seen rain change quickly to snow, gusts past 40 mph, thunder and lightning and temperature drops of 10+ degrees within just 1 hour. 24 hour drops […]
This morning was hands down the coldest of fall so far in the Northern Plains and by Wednesday morning it will be all the way to Florida. The first subzero air of the season crossed the border into North Dakota with Minot AFB hitting -3. Many northern North Dakota towns today didn’t get much above 18, […]
We continue to look at the major arctic air mass and snow prospects coming up this week over the Midwest, East and even Southeast US. While the snow has backed off considerably on the models from 3 or 4 days ago where both GFS and ECMWF had a major East Coast snowstorm, the arctic air is very much coming. Check […]
Well well well, if you read my post from yesterday, I pretty much ruled out a major arctic blast and big Eastern snowstorm. Modelling has of course fallen in line with that very idea next week now and BOTH GFS and ECMWF agree on driving a truly impressive 1040mb surface high deep into the Ohio/Tennessee Valley […]
We of course saw a 2-4, locally 6-10 inch swath of snow from Colorado up through Nebraska, South Dakota into Iowa and Minnesota in the last 24 hours and that storm is heading up into Canada. Here was the scene along I-94 NW of Minneapolis late last night. Another push of chillier air pushes into the Northeast on […]
It’s all eyes of course on the storm that initially brought the snows to Colorado and Wyoming, later to western Nebraska as well as the Rapid City area and now up into Minneapolis. We could see a good 2-4 inch accumulation around the suburbs of the Twin Cities tonight and the snows have now started […]
This morning was of course the coldest of fall 2013 for the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic but the good news is, if you like some warmth during November, your getting it back midweek as a storm system gathers over the Plains and is set to bring a swath of snow from Denver up to Minneapolis. As the trough […]
Thank the Great Lake weather bomb for producing widespread gales, flooding rainfall, category 2 hurricane-force gusts on top of Mount Washington and one heck of a temperature swing up the East Coast between Friday morning and this morning. The storm which cut power to hundreds of thousands through the Ohio Valley across the Great Lakes, Northeast and particularly Ontario, […]
I thought I would join up both North America and Europe posts today and take a closer look at some aspects regarding the winter forecast and my long term ideas. When it comes to winter and looking at the big global drivers, there is often a strong teleconnection between North America and Western Europe and with the right setup, there can be […]
