The overall fall pattern is unfolding as predicted back in August with a largely warm September and start to October with cold end. Also, as expected, the pattern is shifting and November overall is looking milder and wetter for the East while the trough repositions back over the West as the indexes flip. Based on all current […]
It’s looking like a rather wet, windy Halloween if you live anywhere from the Mississippi River on east with the core of heaviest wind driven precip focused on the Ohio and Tennessee Valley. The storm system tracks NE up through the Great Lakes where it deepens but because of the +NAO, this system pretty much lifts up […]
A storm system currently interacting with arctic air dropping out of Western Canada is helping bring a decent snow to parts of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming into the Northern Plains after bringing the first real snow to both Edmonton and Calgary the day before. Clear skies and with snow on the ground is certainly making for […]
It was a balmy 68 degrees or 20C yesterday in Calgary, Alberta and in previous days, highs reached in the low 20s or low to mid-70s and this morning it started snowing and continues to snow through today. Gone is the major, even record breaking warmth which allowed Western Canada to enjoy some extended summer warmth but since it’s late […]
The cold continues in the Eastern half of the country and now that high pressure is settling over the Tennessee Valley tonight, clear skies, light winds and cold air in place should make for the coldest night of this current stretch with lows creeping close to freezing all the way to Atlanta, GA. I dipped […]
The radar over the Great Lakes this morning resembled late November and not late October as near white out conditions caused hazardous driving conditions in many downwind areas of Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. Very cold air blowing out of the northwest crossing the still warm lake waters allowed the heavy bands of snow […]
It’s an impressively cold, even snowy end to October from the Midwest into the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic with record measurable snow in Chicago yesterday. Many sites across Iowa recorded anywhere from a trace to a few inches of snow and even parts of the Ohio Valley are receiving snow up to a month ahead of schedule. […]
Last week turned cold towards the end and this week gets considerably colder with the next clipper system dropping out of Canada and through the Great Lakes BUT modelling suggests an even colder air mass drops south towards the end of the month and that may bring some of the coldest temperatures in at least […]
