We have the first truly wild setup coming up in the coming days and after a system brought 4-8 inches of snow to the mountains surrounding both Anchorage and Fairbanks over the past few days, that same storm system is set to drive into southern British Columbia and Washington. Cold air is attached to this system […]
Over the weekend snow fell and accumulated over the high elevations surrounding Lake Tahoe, CA and in the Rockies west of Denver. The below picture taken just this morning shows a rather wintry scene at the Arapahoe Basin Ski Area to the west of Denver. A few inches also fell as Berthoud Pass and several other high […]
We are watching the activity and movement of the Western Pacific typhoons these days as they are basically telling us what kind of upper pattern the US can expect in the short and medium range. It’s an old rule of thumb that, often, but not always, that when we see a recurving typhoon, about a week […]
The biggest weather story across the United States this weekend will be the developing western Gulf system which if named, would be named Jerry but this is not the single most important aspect but more it’s the indirect effects this system may have. A strong front will cross Texas over the next 72 hours, slowing as […]
After a long, dry and hot summer over Alaska, something much more wintry arrived this morning. The first measurable SNOW in Fairbanks! While grassy surfaces saw a light dusting around town, roads were too warm for snow to stick and for appreciable amounts, you had to go outwith and into higher elevations but nonetheless, the first snowfall hit […]
Thankfully the heavy rains and flooding over Colorado is now easing with the pattern settling down after some 15 inches of rain fell on Boulder in the last week. Incredibly that’s only about 5 inches less than what this part of the country gets in an entire year. While conditions improve in one part of […]
Mexico has already seen a LOT of rainfall in recent weeks from tropical systems crossing the country and with another two now sweeping more rich tropical moisture inland, we could see potentially another 20+ inches over the next few days which raises significant concern of flash flooding across a broad area. We currently have 75 […]
We have several weather stories going on right now including the on going flood devastation flooding around Boulder, Colorado and adjacent communities but firstly I would like to mention newly formed Tropical Storm Ingrid in the Atlantic and Manuel in the Pacific. Both system either side of Mexico pose a grave flood threat over the next 5+ days. Both systems will pump […]
In the last few hours, Tropical Depression 10 formed in the southwest Gulf of Mexico and this system continues to show signs of development and intensification. TD 10 may very well be upgraded to a storm during Friday and poses a SIGNIFICANT flood threat to eastern Mexico over the next 5-7 days. The trouble is […]
