WSI Forecasts a Return to a Warmer Pattern in Eastern US By Early February

Widespread January Cold Will Retreat Back to the West Again

Quote

WSI (Weather Services International) has issued their latest seasonal forecast for the February-April period. The forecast indicates below-normal temperatures from the southern Plains into the Southwest, with above-normal temperatures elsewhere. The WSI seasonal outlooks reference a standard 30-year normal (1981-2010).

“After a drastic and sudden destruction of the tropospheric polar vortex as the calendar turned to 2016, the weather pattern in January was much colder than during the record-setting month of December, although the coldest weather was still found in the Western part of the US,” said Dr. Todd Crawford, Chief Meteorologist, WSI. “The change was driven by unusually strong sub-seasonal forcing that is now evolving away from the configuration that drove the colder changes. As a result, we expect a return to a much milder weather pattern in the Eastern part of the US by early February. While there are colder risks later in February, driven by the continuing evolution of the sub-seasonal tropical forcing and potentially from the stratosphere, we feel that the aggregate pattern for February will favor widespread above-normal temperatures in the East, although certainly not to the degree that we saw in December.”

Snow is returning to parts of the US in the coming days...quite a couple of falls again...stretching right from the west...through Colorado...swinging up towards Iowa/Michigan and the great lakes...Some places looking at 6-12" - another very widespread event, another big fall. Sigh. What a climate to be in.

Indeed, very sad. 

For the weather itself, parts of the NE Coast picked up as much as 10" in spots today with NYC grabbing a couple of inches and parts of Boston 5-6. 

Next week looks very cold and very active. 1-2-3 potential chances for smaller storms up and down the east coast depending on location next.

The Chance of a flurry into Florida...with 3 'frosts' looking very likely. 

Once again, they take all the fun!

Plenty of snow chances in the US this week. Starting today with a coastal system that is likely to bring Boston and areas surrounding the coast a 4-8" fall. 

A smaller clipper system moving across the lakes west to east following this system for the same areas perhaps bringing a reasonable top-up overnight for the same areas.

Potentially record breaking cold this weekend down the eastern side of the UK. 

Valentines look a bitter one...plenty of snow to be had in favourable areas. Lots of lake effect snow coming to fruition with the chance of a strong system early next week.

Indeed! My mistake on that one. I hope they haven't read this.

Huge Temperature Swings to Sock the Northeast Ahead of Early-Week Storm

Quote

From frigid, near-record lows this weekend to mild, soggy highs on Tuesday, New York and New England are about to experience one of the most dramatic chill-down-to-warm-up sequences in memory. The brief but sharp cold will extend across the eastern U.S., but the most dramatic temperature swings are expected from Washington, D.C., northward. Some locations from Philadelphia to Portland will rocket from temperatures near or below 0°F on Saturday night--plus much lower wind chills--to readings near or above 50°F by Tuesday.

The weather whiplash is being produced by a highly dynamic pattern that’s pushing cold northerly winds across the region this weekend. As we discussed on Wednesday, this is a deep-layered cold intrusion rather than a shallow, frigid surface air mass. This means that the cold may not set dramatic records at low-elevation towns and cities, but at higher elevations, the chill will be truly exceptional (see below). Because there won’t be a sharp inversion locking in the surface cold air, it will be much easier to scour out than usual. That’s exactly what will happen from Sunday through Tuesday as a strong surface low spins up over the Carolinas and moves northward near the coast, perhaps just inland or just offshore. To the east of the storm, winds will be howling at all levels from the south, pushing in mild maritime air to displace the weekend chill. The orientation of this flow may actually bring milder temperatures to New England than to the mid-Atlantic, accentuating the whiplash effect further north.
