January the 8th and already a tornado watch/warning situation in the
US. The time of the phase is 11:37. Another unstable spell. This one
is or should be one that produces ridges of high pressure in the UK
but from where though?

Nothing of the kind available hehttp://meteonet.nl/aktueel/brackall.htm
What remains of the Siberian High is flowing away down south to be
replaced by deep lows to our north.

On the TV storms and snow are forecast.

There appears to be a degree of uncertainty about the near future on
weather discussions here.

No prizes for guessing what that means.

Hi Michael,

There's always a degree of uncertainly in weather forecasts and there
always will be. Just put a hill between here and there and what you
get on one side of course is much different from the other.

So does a hill in the western US receive more rain on the west side or
the east side?

Nice to have you and Don back.

http://weather.unisys.com/images/sat_sfc_map_loop.html shows what is
actually happening in the US. It's a mixture of recent satellite
pictures and contours where the similar pressure data is joined up.

I imagine that is the most accurate method of representing mesoscale
outlooks. Anything more detailed would require experienced input.

But the above is plenty to forecast large magnitude earthquakes.

It just requires a more diligent hand than mine to make sense of them
and we will then be able to forecast them fairly accurately.
