As we approach June the upper air pattern is showing signs of a shift into a more summer-like state. The persistent, anomalous upper trough/cold pool that’s hung over California and the Southwest for much of May appears to be shifting east into the saturated Southern Plains as feedback of wet ground and atmosphere begin to kick […]
May has been an incredibly wet, historic month for rainfall throughout the Southern, Central Plains while things are drying out in the East as well as the West Coast. Even here, a persistent upper low has kept the Southwest unusually cool and wet for the time of year. Like in Texas, the rainfall has been historic […]
We’ve seen some wild swings in temperature in recent weeks across the Lower 48 but the one coming could be one of the greatest in many a year! The GFS, while backed off some on overnight lows Fri into Sat across the interior Northeast, still shows 20s and 30s with a crop killing freeze threat. As you […]
Based on what we’ve seen in the last 2-3 weeks with all the rain over the Plains and increasingly dry Southeast, I think the pattern is showing us where the above and below average temperatures are going this summer. With already over a foot of rain in the ground across a broad area of Texas […]
Through May 12th, here’s how the month is looking temperature wise across the US. Notice that it’s warmest where it was coldest during February and where it’s become pretty dry with NYC seeing the most rain free days since 2001. It’s also been cool where it’s been very wet.

A taste of every season continues to rule even into May’s 3rd week all thanks to one spring-like system. Snow in the Dakotas followed by sub-freezing temps tonight. In the warm sector and along the cold front there’s tornado baring severe weather as well as further flash flooding. On the East Coast, temps are rocketing well into the […]
This focus in recent days has been the severe weather and drought busting rains on the Southern/Central Plains as well as the summer warmth in the Midwest/East. [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] However, change is on the way as we progress through this week as an unusually cool Canadian high descends over the Great Lakes and eventually covers the Eastern US […]
While LA and San Diego have both dealt with record rainfall over the last 36 hours, it’s back to winter in the surrounding mountains, all thanks to an unusually late Alaska origin low which has swept directly over Southern California. Parts of San Diego were under water last night having recorded a 1.63 inches of rain. That’s the greatest […]
The anomalous Southwest upper trough continues to support cool temps and unseasonable precipitation across California and the Desert Southwest but this will join forces with storm and rain cooled air over the Plains. Eventually, towards the 7-10 day period, cooler than normal air should return to the East where summer warmth has had temps near 90 from DC […]
The 2015 El Nino is likely to become the biggest ‘global weather story’ in quite some time with major impacts heading for the United States drought area. This is likely to have US and global implication and could significantly dent the multi-year drought in California. Could it wipe it out through fall and winter? It would […]
