This Rossby Wave Break Event is transitioning into an ongoing significant flash flood threat which intensifies particularly though not exclusively toward the Gulf Coast States over the next few days.

Ski resorts Australia: First snow falls on ski fields almost eight weeks ahead of winter

The first snow of winter has fallen at Australian ski resorts in NSW and Victoria.

Snow has fallen overnight in Australia's mainland ski resorts and continues to tumble down on Tuesday morning as a cold front sweeps across southeast Australia. As a heavy band of moisture...

Looks like another Rossby Wave Break Event is likely by next weekend though exact positions of cut off lows and high pressure TBD

As the cut off low across West America via this Rossby Wave Break Event transitions into Northern States the next significant flash flood threat will evolve as the cyclonic system enters Iowa.

Newest data suggesting highest precip rates at the border of Nebraska, South Dakota and Iowa, with the flash flood threat moving into Minnesota and Wisconsin then progressing Northeastwards.

Severe weather associated with this event too.

The first possible tornado struck Knutton in Staffordshire, damaging cars and ripping off tiles at about 6.30am - before the second swept through the West Bridgford area of Nottingham at 7.30am.

Parks, bridges and tourist attractions across the UK were closed on Monday due to the windy weather conditions.

 

 

 

 

The very active weather will continue to evolve throughout Europe with multiple significant weather events.

Snow

Ongoing significant snowfalls continuing across the Alps.

Another potentially significant snow event could swing back into Albania, Kosovo, current trends really keen into Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, perhaps North Macedonia and parts of West and Southwestern Serbia, this event currently modelled for Sunday and Monday.

There is also an ongoing snow event from the Belarusian border crossing Russia with significant accumulations.

And another area of snow intensifying as it moves across Norway again further significant accumulations likely.

Significant flash flood threat.

A significant rainfall event will develop through Saturday into Sunday across Greece and moving into Turkey, after crossing the Black Sea this could continue bringing a significant flash flood risk into Moldova and Ukraine and possibly Belarus.

Interesting small cyclonic system in the Atlantic which has been given 10% to obtain tropical characteristics over the next few days

 

After decaying this systems moisture will become part of a Rossby Wave Break Event during this weekend into early next week.

Looks like this system spawned from a CCKW from South America 

 

With influence of CCKW activities and the MJO itself mentioned in the above post, there will be a significant - possibly major snow event across the Himalayas as a mix of troughing and cut off lows converge by April 28th. Overall a significantly snowy setup for Russia and Asia with accompanying cold > significantly cold temperature anomalies which will extend into parts of the Middle East.

This once again coinciding with a move into a negative phase of the Arctic Oscillation.

This CCKW and MJO activity will also keep significant rainfall and significant flash flood risk events ongoing across East and Southeast China, Taiwan and Japan through at least May week 1.

Excellent representation of typical El Ninò patterns, this is particularly evident in the ongoing and upcoming setup throughout South America.

Snow

Multiple waves of significant snowfalls across higher elevations of Chile, Argentina and some in Peru. Significantly below average temperatures will cover Chile and Argentina in particular.

Significant Rainfall & Significant Flash Flood Risks.

Again typical characteristics of El Ninò, ongoing significant rainfall will continue with further events moving between Uruguay and South - Southeast Brazil - Rio Grande Do Sul.

Heat - Significant Heat & Potential further drought conditions 

Overall warm weather covering a large part of Northern South America however the most significant heat events are modelled for Southeast Brazil which will extend across Paraguay.

After historic drought, El Niño rains pose new hurdle for Brazil’s farmers

'This will enhance what I believe is a CCKW - Convectively Coupled Kelvin Wave from South Africa. As the MJO moves across South Africa and enhances the CCKW this sees significant rainfall and flash flood risks particularly off the coast of Tanzania & Kenya with places such as Zanzibar and Pemba Island prone.'

This MJO + CCKW combination led to the formation of tropical cyclone Hidaya 

 

From my quoted post

'Current timing shows the MJO starting to move across the Maritimes during April week 4 into May week 1.'

Further MJO and persistent CCKW activities particularly across Melanesia will give opportunity for cyclonic developments potentially tropical in nature > typhoon potential with a setup discussed here 

 

Current data suggesting a system possibly close to the Philippines as we head toward Mid May [15th approximately]

Significant snowstorm ongoing in Northern Russia, also snowfall (some significant accumulations) in Turkey, along the Georgian & Russian border, part of the Himalayas, West and Southwestern China.

This low pressure and below average temperature setup was discussed briefly in my post here 

 

And can be noted in the MJO phase 2 composites 

Multiple significant rainfall & flash flood threat events upcoming across America via MJO feedback consisting of overall below average pressure and CCKW activities from the Pacific and South America in particular through the next 10 days at least - May 23rd.

 

Further excellent representation of MJO and -PNA feedback.
