Something positive or just computer model noise? Since we last talked, some moisture has been falling in places that haven’t received much moisture. In fact, two significant snowstorms rolled out of the Southern Rockies and hit areas of north Texas, Oklahoma, and especially Kansas....
Forecast Update: Looking rough for a lot of people… After taking a brief break from weather in my last article, we’ll get back into it this month. Some interesting things have happened since December, including a pretty significant boost in moisture for some parts of the Southern Plains in January....
Utilizing tools to make your business better Back in December, I had the pleasure of speaking to several farmers and ranchers at the Colorado Ag Classic.

Thanks El Nino… That Was Short! As I have told many of you lately, the prospects for any El Nino of consequence are basically done. That being said, what you can’t see on the map below is that there is some pretty warm water just beneath the surface....
Another Winter Forecast Update I remember presenting weather information in early August at the 2012 Texas A&M Beef Cattle Short Course (BCSC), and talking about the fall pattern shift that would grip the eastern half of the US....

Importance of Looking Back to See How We Will Go Forward 1950s, 60s, and 70s… You constantly hear me reference the 1950s as a road map of where we are located. The Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean are in the same phase that they were then, and they have a huge impact on our weather....
Perfect Firestorm: As many of you know, my main gig is as a meteorologist for KKTV 11 News in Colorado Springs. During the worst wildfire in Colorado history (by amount of homes burned), we did 130 hours of continuous live coverage....
El Nino Potential and a First Look at Winter 2012-13 If you read this column, you know I have been chirping about the arrival of El Nino for quite a while.

Models, Models, and More Models… No, I’m not talking about Cindy Crawford, Heidi Klum, Gisele, or Kate Moss, but about computer models. I know, not as pretty or as exciting, but they are a lot more important in my line of work....
My daily battle with the warmists (i.e. the man-made global warming/climate change folks) was taken up a notch during the month of January. The website www.forecastthefacts.org was created to call out broadcast meteorologists that “deny” man is changing our climate....
