US Gulf Coast Snowstorm Shows 1895 Connection to 2025 Spring

Kansas City, January 22 (World Weather Inc.) – Tuesday’s snowstorm along the central U.S. Gulf of Mexico coast was a very impressive event – to say the least. However, it is another good example of how weather is cyclical. The storm was quite similar to the record setting snow event of February 1895. Despite the interesting parallel between the two snowstorms, World Weather, Inc. is much more interested in the dominating weather pattern that brought on these two events because of the possibility that the event can reveal a clue over what is yet to come this winter and spring.

Northwest U.S. Moisture Situation Improves; More Needed

Kansas City, January 24 (World Weather Inc.) – Precipitation in the northwestern United States has improved in recent weeks, although there is still need for more moisture to adequately recharge soil moisture and water reservoirs for use in the spring.
Snowpack in the U.S. Pacific Northwest and northern Rocky Mountains is near to below normal across most of the region with above normal snowpack in the Blue Mountains of Oregon. Water reservoir levels in the Yakima Valley have improved slightly from autumn; however, reservoirs are still low, between 12% and 24% of capacity. Soil moisture has also improved, though there is need for more moisture. Minimal to no precipitation is expected across the crop region in the next 7-days, though a dusting to 3 inches will occur over the northern Rocky Mountains. Longer range outlooks suggest drier biased conditions will prevail through February. If this verifies, more precipitation will be needed to maintain and improve moisture conditions ahead of spring.
