For over 200 years, theFarmers’ Almanachas been predicting long-range weather forecasts to help you plan ahead. These forecasts are created using a tried-and-true formula that adapts to the mysteries of nature and the ever-changing world in which we live. The basis of our prediction method ...
Over the North Atlantic, the frequency of extreme weather events, such as storms or cold spells, is critically dependent on the prevailing weather regime. In consequence, seasonal predictability of these regimes is important. Currently, the ability of seasonal prediction systems to predict such weathe...
Day-to-day weather forecasting has improved substantially over the past few decades. In contrast, progress in seasonal prediction outside the tropics has been meagre and mixed. On seasonal timescales, the constraining influence of the initial atmospheric state is weak, and the internal variability ...
Each year on Feb. 2, thousands descend on Gobbler's Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to watch the giant rodent make his annual weather prediction at dawn with the help of his "inner circle" — a group of local dignitaries who are responsible for planning the events, as well as feeding...
Several countries participated in the experiment which involved a combination of experimental techniques using meteorological observations, numerical weather prediction, and nowcasting. Following from the successful experience during the Vancouver 2010 Games, Environment Canada's Meteorological Research Branch ...
The Antarctic ozone hole exerts a substantial impact on the climate of the Southern Hemisphere, yet research exploring its potential influence on the Northern Hemisphere climate is limited. This study unveils a significant positive relationship between i
2c). Interestingly, this positive impact on potential predictability translates into statistically-significant actual predictability, namely prediction skill, in the northern North Atlantic (Fig. 4h). However, this increased potential predictability is destroyed by increasing atmosphere resolution (Fig. 4g)...
— NWS Storm Prediction Center (@NWSSPC)January 15, 2024 The first of two freezing Arctic blasts was fueling wintry conditions in the lower Mississippi Valley and the Tennessee Valley on Monday, bringing a mixture of snow, sleet and freezing rain as the weather system tracked toward the Appalac...
NOAA Climate Prediction Center This has many asking if winter is already over or should we expect a shock back to reality before the temperatures warm up for good. For the likely answer to that, let's look back at history. TheNational Weather Service in St. Louisshared the following weathe...
