It’s long been known than an increase in high latitude volcanic activity has been linked to an increase in winter blocking and colder winters in the mid-latitude world. We saw an increase in volcanic activity prior to the bitter cold winter of 2009-10 which shivered much of the Northern world including the United States and Great Britain. We are currently and have for […]
In last night’s post I made mention of the lack of real summer heat over Northeast in the coming 10 days while tonight I look at the West Coast where it appears a more active period is evolving. That means the core of the heat gets shifted east over the Plains through next week. While there’s wet and windy weather set to push into the Pacific Northwest, a […]
If you read my summer forecast issued back in April you’ll know that I haven’t went for a hot summer in the East this year and lot of the reason was down to the amount of rain seen during late winter and spring. I did however go for a hot, dry summer in the West […]
Throughout the night powerful thunderstorms complexes have lit up the skies and brought damaging winds across the Ohio Valley towards the Mid-Atlantic. Unfortunately through today, more thunderstorm clusters will form as upper level energy swings from the Lakes towards the Southeast while heat and humidity build underneath. The storms which fire over the Ohio Valley will drive straight into the […]
The storm’s from last night are now fading as they track SE over the lower Lakes towards the Ohio Valley but it’s an area south of there, generally from I-80 on south from west-central Illinois through the heart of Indiana into western and central Ohio which is a RED ZONE with a highly primed atmosphere late this afternoon […]
As the heat spreads out across the Southern United States with 100s baking the southern and central plains and mid-90s eventually reaching the Southeast including Atlanta and Charlotte, so a lot of upper level energy will ride the northern periphery of this hot dome and will enhance storminess and the flash flood risk over the Northern Plains today and into […]
It’s a hot start to the week across the West with temperatures running 5-10 degrees above normal beneath a powerful upper level ridge but an upper low off Southern California will head inland and push up into the Northern Tier over the next few days increasing a ‘dry lightning’ threat across the Great Basin and Rockies. While this feature heads NE, […]
As forecasted, former Tropical Storm Andrea left her mark up and down the Eastern Seaboard Friday with record breaking rainfall from South Florida all the way the southern New England with 15″ falling in South Florida and a record 4-6″ across New York and Long Island. Even Boston saw over 3″ with water rescues having to be […]
The models remain persistent in producing some major heat this weekend over the Southwest Deserts up into the Central Valley with a couple of days at 110+ in Phoenix, Las Vegas, Fresno, Bakersfield up towards Redding. Check out the GFS numbers for Saturday and Sunday afternoon within the Central Valley with a heights near 560dc. Sat Sun [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] An interesting upper level low […]
Tropical Storm Andrea made landfall in Dixie County, Florida this evening at around 5.40pm with winds of around 65 mph and pressure estimated at around 993mb. As expected, this system came ashore with little spectacle, simply bringing very wet, blustery conditions and in fact earlier today, while this low was nearing the coast, the strongest winds were up […]
