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…
UNITED STATES — Newly compiled national precipitation data is revealing a dramatic divide in how much moisture different regions of the country receive each year, with Washington State, the Southeastern U.S., and parts of the Midwest ranking among the nation’s wettest zones, while vast portions of the West continue to struggle with significantly lower rainfall…
UNITED STATES — A newly released long-range snowfall projection from the ECMWF AIFS model is signaling a high-impact stretch of winter weather across several northern states, with Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and New York all positioned for significant accumulations between December 7 and December 22. The data depicts one of the strongest multi-state snow corridors of…
INDIANA — New long-range data shows Indiana heading into one of its coldest December stretches so far this season, as powerful atmospheric signals continue trending toward a sharply colder pattern across the central and eastern United States. The latest maps show widespread purple and deep blue temperature anomalies, indicating temperatures running 10 to 20 degrees…
MISSOURI — A powerful Arctic air mass is forecast to plunge into the central United States next weekend, pushing temperatures across Missouri to 25 to 35 degrees below seasonal averages. New forecast guidance and anomaly maps show the state positioned directly beneath one of the deepest cold pools projected anywhere in the country. Missouri Positioned…
UNITED STATES — A growing body of long-range climate data now points toward a significant and far-reaching December cold pattern expected to impact multiple central and southern states, including Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Tennessee. Updated model guidance and analog comparisons highlight a strong shift into a deeply negative West Pacific Oscillation (WPO) — a pattern…
ARKANSAS — A significant blast of Arctic air is increasingly likely to push into Arkansas later this week and into next weekend, bringing temperatures well below normal and signaling a sharp shift in the regional weather pattern. Multiple forecasting models now agree that the state is heading toward its coldest stretch of the season so…
NORTH CAROLINA — Meteorologists are closely watching a growing conflict between long-range computer models and real-world atmospheric indicators, as new projections hint at warm conditions heading toward late December—while deeper climate signals suggest North Carolina could still see a colder pattern emerge east of the Rockies. At face value, extended-range models have been running what…
MICHIGAN — A major pattern flip is on the way for Michigan, as two powerful blasts of Arctic air are expected to sweep into the state beginning next weekend. Forecasters say this will deliver the coldest temperatures of the season so far, accompanied by widespread below-average temperatures, sub-zero wind chills, and a significant increase in…
