[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Now this would be the kiss of death to winter 2015-16 if true for both sides of the Atlantic! Several factors would go against a cold winter. That warm NE Pacific and cold North Atlantic would once again support N Pacific blocking/North Atlantic trough wouldn’t teleconnect to a Western Europe trough. Because of […]
The unusual deep, cold upper vortex drifting down over the Great Lakes bringing an abnormal chill from the Upper Midwest to Mid-Atlantic may not be a short lived blip but part of a pattern that lingers. For the first time since last year, the NAO is tanking and that means a twin trough under Greenland […]
After dumping more than 50 inches of snow on Colorado’s High Country last week, the very same system is now focusing potentially record breaking snow across Northern Ontario. TOP IMAGE CREDIT: WeatherBug.com [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] The latest run of the ECMWF prints out an impressive 12-18″ across a broad area of Ontario with 24″ bulls eye. Significant cold […]
We know the rest of April is looking cool to very cool compared to normal but for quite a while now the CFSv2 has had it pretty warm for May across the majority of the Lower 48. However BOTH the weeklies and monthly has it looking much cooler with only the Pacific Northwest up through western Canada into Alaska […]
A 45-vehicle pile-up occurred yesterday during heavy snow along I-80 between Laramie and Cheyenne. Authorities say at least 6 were left critical following the ‘domino effect’ crash. Conditions to the south over Colorado’s High Country was just as nasty as big rigs were forced to chain up last night on I-70. Meanwhile further east on the High […]
I am making more and more mention about this El Nino because it may become a major global player this summer into next winter. We’ve not had a strong nino in the last decade and a half and there’s increasing evidence suggesting that this could become strong. The PDO is very warm currently and thus this […]
This has all the credentials of being a record-breaking April snowstorm for Colorado! GFS TOP IMAGE CREDIT: WeatherBug [s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] ECMWF Exactly how much the Mile High City will get remains to be seen. They could get a couple of inches or 20 inches but I suspect somewhere to the west in the High Country […]
Press release from Colorado State University. FORT COLLINS – Colorado State University researchers are predicting a well below-average hurricane season for the Atlantic basin in 2015, citing the likely development of a moderate to strong El Niño event as well as anomalous cooling of the tropical and sub-tropical Atlantic. The CSU Tropical Meteorology Project team […]
Recent posts/videos have very much focused on the amount of liquid projected across the Deep South. With a warmer warm east Pacific and Gulf, rainfall is likely to be enhanced, especially as the El Nino gets going. Latest infrared images are showing a very ‘El Nino’ look with enhanced convection on a very pronounced southern […]
[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Check this out for late week as the latest Pacific storm system dives SE across the Rockies. The GFS has backed off significantly after having 30″ of snow for Denver. The ECMWF still has a major snow event of 4-8″. The key for Denver is whether the surface low tracks to the south […]
