Weather Tidbits: The Alberta Clipper
This edition of Weather Tidbits discusses the Alberta Clipper. An Alberta Clipper is a low pressure system that develops near Alberta in central Canada which moves rapidly east and southeast through the Great Lakes and northeast United States.
Exactly what is an Alberta Clipper?
Alberta Clippers are quick-moving areas of low pressure that originate in the western Canadian province of Alberta, usually tapping some energy from the polar jet stream and sometimes a bit from the Pacific. The name “clipper” was coined in the 1960s and derives from the fast-moving sailing ships of the 19th century.
