Here we go again. The weather models are continuing to do their flip-flop between warm and cold weather as I described last week. While this may be annoying, it is really just a part of spring weather in this part of the world. Summer weather wants to move in but winter tends to be stubborn,

Well, believe it or not, spring will come, but it now looks as if it will move in slowly rather than bursting forth. The overall weather pattern over North America looks like it will remain fairly active over the next couple of weeks, as a long-wave trough of low pressure dominates. Fortunately for us, it

Conflicting Areas Of Wind

By Daniel Bezte March 26, 2009

At the end of our last weather school article I hoped that we would see an early strengthening of the subtropical high which would then hopefully bring a warm and early start to spring. Instead we saw what our part of the world is famous for, big intense areas of low pressure. This week in

It is going to be a tougher-than-usual forecast for this week because there don’t appear to be any large weather systems dominating our forecast. Last week’s ridge of arctic high pressure pushed off to the southeast pretty much as expected and behind the ridge, weak areas of low pressure began moving in from the west.

Well, I guess I should have had more confidence in the weather models last week. The models showed a strong storm system making its way in from the Pacific and affecting our region during the first half of this week and that is exactly what happened. After this messy start to the week it looks

General atmospheric circulation

By Daniel Bezte January 29, 2009

After the last couple of weather school lessons on wind, we now have a basic understanding of what drives our winds. With this knowledge we are now ready to take this information and start piecing together the bigger picture of global winds, or what is referred to as general atmospheric circulation. We now know that
