United States of America
It’s been a fascinating December through February 2015-16 across the US with wild swings on both sides of the ‘extreme temperature’ ledger as well as a record setting East Coast blizzard. The front end of winter (December 1 through January 15) was strongly dominated by the peaking of the record tying super El Nino. This helped present […]
We have a very interesting pattern next 7-10 days with a series of systems sweeping west to east. The first two will ride north and west of the I-95. That means rain and warm temps DC to Boston but heavy snow for Chicago, Indianapolis and Detroit. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] I’ve already stated in the video earlier that […]
With the rebound from negative to neutral Arctic Oscillation, subtropical warmth has made a return to the mid latitudes. Note the warmth over much of the United States and Europe with a return to cold over Greenland. 6 days from now it’s opposite as the AO is heading back into the tank. The heat first started across Southern […]
When looking back at the Canadian February solution issued back in Jan 31 and what actually happened, Id say it’s done a pretty good job, especially with it’s 500mb height anomaly. It had the right idea with temps but not cold enough from Minneapolis to Atlanta. Canadian for February. 2m anomaly Actual anomaly to date. If February […]
With the resurge in Asia to N America strat warming and MJO entering phase 8, there is strong reason to believe that another major snow and arctic blast looms in the late next week. The models are once again printing out our dream setup with cross polar flow and Siberian seeded Canadian cold diving south […]
After a warm opening 12 days to February in the Northeast, the arctic blast from the past weekend has actually flipped the anomaly below normal and given what’s ahead with further snow systems and cold, this month is likely to go down as below normal. Opening 12 days. February to date. This month sure is […]
In a month (till now) and winter that’s been mild or even warm, this past two morning’s are made all the more remarkable. Less than 10 days ago the very places which have seen it coldest, experienced their warmest February days on record. The last two winters have seen the rise and hype of the ‘polar vortex’, this morning […]
The core of cold shivered eastern Canada this morning with the coldest temperatures in Toronto in 22 years. Projected 2m temps this morning were still frigid but not quite frigid enough according to the models. Note the ECMWF had Toronto at -20C or milder but as a matter of fact it dipped to -26C, coldest since January […]
We have a bitterly cold weekend coming up from DC to Bangor but does this arctic blast last? We have an interesting and potentially record breaking temperature rollercoaster coming up between Sunday and Tuesday evening. Firstly it’s all about the cold and when it’s arctic air involved, don’t you just love the clear blue skies […]
