UNITED STATES — A strengthening area of cold high pressure across the central part of the country is setting the stage for a potential winter storm that may bring snow, ice, and hazardous travel conditions to portions of Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky in the days leading up to Christmas. The developing pattern shows cold air…
UNITED STATES — Long-range climate models are signaling an unusually suppressed severe weather pattern for spring 2026, raising early concerns that the upcoming tornado season across states such as Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and Missouri could be significantly weaker than normal. New data from the CFSv2 forecasting system, paired with upper-air pattern outlooks, paints a…
UNITED STATES — Weather forecasters say the latest GFS model run projecting a massive 40-inch snowstorm on Christmas Eve across New York, Pennsylvania, and New England is not scientifically realistic, noting that the upper-atmosphere pattern simply does not support such an extreme event. Meteorologists reviewing Monday’s 18z data called the model output “fun to look…
UNITED STATES — A winter weather system moving up the East Coast tonight has pushed the snow line farther south and east than earlier expected, bringing steady snowfall into parts of North Carolina and Virginia, according to updated radar imagery analyzed around 8:45 p.m. Meteorologists report that while the broader precipitation shield is beginning to…
UNITED STATES — A pair of fast-moving Alberta Clipper systems are sweeping across the northern United States this week, bringing high winds, accumulating snow, and hazardous travel conditions from Montana to Michigan. The National Weather Service warns that impacts will continue Monday through Wednesday (Dec. 8–10) as both storm systems race across the region. Clipper…
UNITED STATES — Weather models show a series of powerful Arctic air outbreaks poised to sweep across the High Plains, Midwest, Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast over the next 7–10 days, bringing widespread temperature drops and multiple opportunities for wintry impacts. New animated model guidance and temperature anomaly maps reveal that repeated cold surges will…
UNITED STATES — A newly released 6–10 Day Temperature Probability Outlook from the Climate Prediction Center shows a striking and intensifying temperature split across the country, with bitterly cold Arctic air expanding across the Midwest, Great Lakes, and East Coast, while the Western U.S. faces unusually warm conditions heading into mid-December. The updated maps, valid…
VIRGINIA — New national snowfall data released by NOAA highlights a striking shift in winter storm behavior across the United States, showing that while parts of the Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast have received substantial snowfall so far this season, much of Virginia and the broader Mid-Atlantic corridor remain noticeably snow-starved. Meteorologists say the emerging…
OKLAHOMA — New long-range data from NOAA’s flagship GFS model is raising alarms across the meteorological community, with multiple forecast cycles now projecting a severe, potentially historic blast of Arctic air that could plunge Oklahoma and much of the central United States into extreme cold heading into Christmas week. The model suggests that the polar…
WASHINGTON — A powerful atmospheric river, rated at Category 4/5, is forecast to slam into the Pacific Northwest this week, bringing exceptionally high snow levels across the region — but on Mount Rainier, the story becomes far more extreme. Forecast models show that elevations near 14,000 feet could receive more than 110 inches of snow…
