What About Snow During La Niña Winters? This article was originally published on Climate.gov by Dr. Stephen Baxter. This is a guest post by Dr. Stephen Baxter who is a NOAA Climate Prediction Center (CPC) meteorologist and does applied research on subseasonal-to-seasonal climate variability. In particular he specializes in understanding how the middle-to-high latitude circulation is influenced by the tropics versus other processes. He also has a […] Weather SnowBrains | October 15, 2021 0 Comments
NOAA: Double-Dip La Niña Emerges This post was originally published on NOAA.gov A La Nina has developed and will extend through the second winter in a row according to NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center — a division of NOAA’s National Weather Service. La Nina is a natural ocean-atmospheric phenomenon marked by cooler-than-average sea surface temperatures across the central and eastern Pacific Ocean near the equator and […] Weather WeatherBrains | October 15, 2021 0 Comments

Climate Change: Ocean Heat Content This article first appeared on climate.gov and was written by LuAnn Dahlman and Rebecca Lindsey on August 17, 2020 Rising amounts of greenhouse gases are preventing heat radiated from Earth’s surface from escaping into space as freely as it used to. Most of the excess atmospheric heat is passed back to the ocean. As a result, upper ocean heat content has […] Weather WeatherBrains | August 5, 2021 0 Comments
Utah’s Great Salt Lake Reaches Lowest Water Level Ever Recorded Extreme drought has caused the southern portion of Utah’s Great Salt Lake to reach its lowest-ever recorded water level. It’s a concerning milestone for the largest natural lake west of the Mississippi River and the largest natural salt lake in the western hemisphere. On Saturday, the U.S. Geological Survey announced average daily water levels had dropped about an inch below […] Martin Kuprianowicz | July 29, 2021 0 Comments
La Niña Explained: July, the ENSO, Winter 21/22 and You What do July, the ENSO, and Winter 21/22 all have in common? La Niña, of course! NOAA has just released their prediction for a La Niña winter 20/21. As of July, there is a 55% chance of a La Niña winter, which is great news for the Pacific Northwest and the northern Rockies and not-so-great news for the intermountain region […] Weather Lynn Barlow | July 13, 2021 0 Comments
