United States of America
Thank all the cold weather this spring for what has now ‘officially’ become the quietest tornado season since 1992 for the United States. According to Henry Margusity of AccuWeather, yesterday beat 2004 but it’s unlikely to beat 1992 because there was very few tornadoes that year and it’s looking increasing likely that this very quiet year […]
The heat is on from Los Angeles all the way to Billings, Mont and Bismarck, ND as temperatures are set to soar into the 90s during Monday. It is this blast of heat surging north over the Western US which is tapping unseasonably cold arctic air over northern Canada and driving it south over the eastern half of the US, […]
In last night’s US and UK posts I shared my latest thoughts on the next 3-6 weeks with a cooler than normal pattern likely to continue into June for both the UK and eastern US, however I have been wanting to share some early thoughts on next winter with you for a while. Despite being many months away and […]
The pattern is STILL on the crazy cold side with another atmospheric temper tantrum coming up. I saw tweets coming out this afternoon of snow falling up across parts of Ontario down into the UP of Michigan and even as far south as Minneapolis. That’s the leading edge of a cold arctic high which could threaten all-time record lows Sunday through Monday night from […]
This weekend is setting up to be a record breaker for both heat and cold thanks to a highly amplified and extreme pattern over North America, sound familiar? Mid-summer level heat will build from Los Angeles through Denver all the way to North Dakota Sunday into Monday with temps back into the 90s for LA and for the first time […]
For the best part of a week now, I’ve been monitoring an unseasonably deep trough in which the models have been hinting at which will dive into the Eastern half of the US early next week. That trough which could deliver frost all the way to the Tennessee and Georgia mountains with all-time May record lows challenged throughout the spine […]
Over the next couple of days we’re going to see the Southern California system which brought record rains to such areas as Long Beach push into the Rockies and enhance the shower and thunderstorm activity there while on the backside, a ridge is set to build the heat back into the LA Basin northwards as well as out […]
The deep low which brought all-time record May snowfall from Wisconsin to Arkansas and record cold all the way to Houston is now a ‘cut off’ upper low and presenting the Southeast with flooding rains. Eventually this thing will clear out but another system is now driving into California and has cut the heat and should bring appreciable showers and thunderstorms […]
A large, unusual and once-in-a-lifetime storm system that’s currently spinning over the heart of the United States and dragging arctic air all the way into Texas will continue to do so over the next few days. It has already been responsible for producing local and state all-time record snows with 28.2 inches of snow reported in Colorado, 18 […]
It’s snowing hard across eastern Nebraska and western Iowa with 5+ inches now on the ground at the same time Chicago was enjoying it’s warmest start to a May in 21 years. The high topped 84 degrees this afternoon at O’Hare. This is a situation you are likely to never see again in your lifetime […]
