It was once a relatively healthy 60 mph tropical storm but Chantal, now a mere open wave floating across the eastern Caribbean has all but lost the fight. Chantal succumbed to her increasingly dry, dusty and inhospitable environment with a forward speed a little too fast. The system, though far less of a threat, needs to be closely watched […]
We are keeping a close eye on 60 mph Tropical Storm Chantal which is moving fairly quickly in a WNW direction over the Western Atlantic. Chantal is modestly organised at this time and could be considered a fairly strong tropical system with an increasingly well defined low level circulation as you can see from the below satellite image. There is […]
It’s been a hot, steamy second half to last week and of course through this weekend from DC to Boston with low to mid-90s but this heat is about to break as a system pushes in and a trough gets recarved. By late this week, temperatures may stay in the 70s in New York, low 80s Philly […]
It’s been a hot and humid past few days along the Eastern Coastal Plain thanks to the Bermuda high building westward. In the last 3 days, highs have persistently risen into the low 90s from Richmond, VA up to Boston, providing classic hot, hazy and humid weather for the 4th of July holiday’s and that heat looks set […]
The heavy soaking rains continue over the Florida Panhandle, a large portion of Alabama, west, central Georgia up the spine of the Appalachians. There is a weak surface feature which is helping focusing the moisture and so an additional 8+ inches is expected over the same areas which have picked up 5-10+ inches of rain in the last 48 […]
While the very heavy and persistent shower and storm activity will continue through July 4th and 5th over Alabama, Georgia north, it eases along the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast coastal plain where folks here from the Big Cities to coast need some relief. They will get it in the form of sunshine and hotter temperatures as […]
We’re into a new week and it’s unfortunately the same weather pattern which ended last week and dominated the weekend. The hosepipe of moisture being funnelled due north up the East Coast between the deep trough to the west and Bermuda high to the east continues today, supporting heavy, soaking showers and thunderstorms. The air remains […]
In the last 5 days, the heat has been brutal from Salt Lake to Sacramento as well as points north and particularly south. Highs made it to an all-time record tying 117 yesterday in Las Vegas were pavements has cracked and sadly eldery folks have died in homes without AC. According to multiple reports, Death Valley topped […]
A sprawling, powerful upper level ridge centred over the Desert Southwest continues to intensify and therefore temperatures this afternoon are hotter than they were yesterday and by tomorrow, they’ll be even hotter than today. The below AccuWeather graphic shows the setup well. Despite the core of the ridge position being well to the west, Houston, TX […]
While temperatures over the Desert pushes all-time records today and through the weekend, there is a significant flood threat up and down the East Coast over the next 5 days with a very stuck upper air pattern. With a Bermuda high off the Eastern Seaboard and a low pressure trough over the Ohio Valley and […]
