Located just 75 miles to the north of Punta Gallinas, Colombia, Matthew has become a monster 140 mph Category 4 hurricane and poses a grave threat to Jamaica, Hispaniola, Cuba and likely the Bahamas thereafter. Visible, Infrared and microwave imagery is simply stunning with the below loops showing the rapid intensification process. Latest microwave scan of […]
Tropical Storm Matthew continues to strengthen heading westward. Likely to become a hurricane tonight. A change in the upper air pattern next week with another taste of fall with heavy snows for the mountains with widespread 5-10F below normal temperatures. Experiencing technical issues which means I am unable to post a video today. FEATURED […]
[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] First and foremost, Tropical Storm Matthew is born after the hurricane hunters found a closed low level circulation and winds of 60 mph this morning. This storm will become a hurricane as it continues moving westward in a favourable environment, steered by an upper ridge to the north. The United States should pay […]
After weeks of seemingly never ending summer, we have our first true refreshing air making it all the way to the Southeast thanks to a cut off upper low drifting down over the Ohio Valley eventually make it into the Southeast. This will make for the coolest air since May for many. The upper low cut […]
This is a very interesting pattern we’re in with a boiling Gulf and Atlantic, active tropics and increasingly favourable US pattern that could attract storms and or hurricanes to the coast. In the past week, waters in the Gulf and up the Atlantic seaboard have warmed and widely running 2-4F above normal. The pattern and warm water makes […]
A great read! Source http://www.aer.com/science-research/climate-weather/arctic-oscillation September 19, 2016 Special blog on winter retrospective can be found here – http://www.aer.com/winter2016 Dr. Judah Cohen from Atmospheric and Environmental Research (AER) recently embarked on an experimental process of regular research, review, and analysis of the Arctic Oscillation (AO). This analysis is intended to provide researchers and practitioners real-time insights on one of North America’s and Europe’s […]
Summer is well in our rear view mirror with Meteorological Autumn beginning at the start of September and Astronomical Autumn occurring yesterday. Day and night will be exactly equal as of Sunday the 25th (equilux) meaning equal and from there on, night is longer than day. Wish to know more about our seasons? VIDEO: Mechanism […]
A storm system centred over the Northern Plains will separate the West and East from winter and summer respectively. While snow and temps 10-15 below normal dominate the West, summer lives on from St Louis to Philly with storms and heavy rain in between. As for the Northeast, following some hot summery days, fall is […]
[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] It should be of no surprise how warm last winter panned out not just for the United States or Europe but for much of the Northern Hemisphere given the strength of the El Nino. As is the case when you get a super El Nino, it takes over the global atmosphere with warmth circling the globe, breaking […]
Endless summer continues east of the Rockies while pulses of colder, fall-like air brings more snow and a step ever closer to winter in the West. Meanwhile both Southwest and Northeast get help from the tropics with much needed rainfall. GFS indicates 1-2 FEET of snow for parts of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming over the […]
