No question, it’s been a warm month, especially for the Southwest. https://twitter.com/MaxDarrowTV/status/936739789251866624 https://twitter.com/NWSSaltLakeCity/status/936588690708680707 https://twitter.com/NWSPhoenix/status/936583159394603008 https://twitter.com/NWSElPaso/status/936591427940777984 https://twitter.com/NWSTucson/status/936687276628807680 https://twitter.com/NWSSanDiego/status/936685326717935616 https://twitter.com/SamArgier/status/936653132846710784
The Arctic hammer is ready to drop on the Midwest and East next week so enjoy this weekend’s warmth… Here’s a look at the GFS sur/prec charts starting Tue of next week with the first of two waves driving SE behind a storm system which will bring leading edge heavy rains followed by heavy snows. […]
As of November 26, a mere 3.5% of the Lower 48 had snow on the ground. That’s the least for the final week of November in at least 2003 when records began. As you can see from the map above, a huge swathe of southern Alberta and Saskatchewan will commence December snowless. All thanks to […]
It’s turned crazy warm over the Western interior and Plains thanks combination of dry ground, lack of snow and a digging trough bringing snow to the Sierra Nevada and strong downsloping SSW over the Front Range. Denver climbed to a new November benchmark of 81 degrees this afternoon besting the previous record of 80 degrees […]
The tremendous swath of warmth spanning an area from California to Great Lakes shall shift eastwards as we close the books on November and begin December. November has very much been categorised by a cold north, warm south which La Ninas tend to favour. Thanks to strong high latitude blocking, a warm US doesn’t typically […]
As expected, thanks to an unusually large and strong upper level ridge, Thanksgiving Day became the hottest on record for many sites stretching from Los Angeles to the Dakotas. Looks like Lake Elsinore, CA tied the US Thanksgiving Day record high with 97 degrees. The NWS San Diego weather balloon measured a summer-like 994dm […]
November 2017 will be remembered as a chilly North, warm South with an impressive opening arctic outbreak which broke long standing records from Montana to the Mid Atlantic. It’s also going to be remembered as very snowy in the interior Northwest, perhaps a top 10 cold month over parts of the Northern Plains and will […]
On Thanksgiving Day 2010, the US-Mexico border town of Falcon Lake, Texas recorded a temperature of 97 degrees which became the highest temperature ever recorded on Thanksgiving. An unusually strong upper ridge is building over Southern California. Aided by offshore winds blowing from desert to ocean, temperatures are expected to widely reach the upper 80s, […]
As you’d expect, it’s getting ever colder in Alaska and the first 40 below has occurred in both Alaska and Yukon. On the US side, the tiny and notoriously cold settlement of Chicken just a few days became the Last Frontier’s first place to hit 40 below. This comes just days after the sun set […]
It’s been a very mild spring across the Southern states and recent days has witnessed more impressive late year heat. November 17 saw a temperature of 94 degrees in SW Oklahoma, a 6 way tie for 2nd hottest November day in state history. https://twitter.com/HeatwaveKGNS/status/931647782879973376 https://twitter.com/NWSNorman/status/931642124289921024 https://twitter.com/NWSNorman/status/931641763923681285 While it’s been hot in the Southern Tier, it’s […]
