Wet Trade Winds to Develop Across Record Warm SSTA (for June)

The developing and steady wet trade wind regime in the tropics is inspired in-part by what is likely to be the warmest SSTA pattern on record for the main development region (MDR) for North Atlantic hurricanes as defined by the tropical North Atlantic (TNA) index.

Northwest Air Flow Out of Canada Continues to Push Smoke and Haze Into Northeast U.S.

Smoke and haze from the Canadian Fires fallout continue to inhibit visibility and safe breathing across the northeast quadrant of the U.S. The RRFS model projects the most-dense smoke/haze at midday today across New England, clearing out of the Mid-Atlantic States tomorrow, and regenerating in the Midwest States Wednesday.

Unique Synoptic Weather Pattern Causes Flash Fires in Canada

Exceptional climate regimes require a close review as to their catalyst to understand how the pattern developed to help mitigate risk, if possible, to similar future circumstances. The record-strength Canadian fire season of 2023 (so far) was caused by a set of unique circumstances all occurring at once to promote a flash fire acceleration during mid-to-late spring 2023.
