November 2018 Weather in the Pacific Northwest


Timmy Supercell

Recommended Posts

Perhaps I am remembering wrong, but in my mind 99% of it slid east and there was a tight N/S gradient which stopped at about Portland, ended up being a decent event Portland north, but was more of a low level cold situation...Maybe I am just remembering incorrectly.

 

It was a glancing blow for sure. But many of our snow producing patterns are. Pendleton managed a 17/1 performance on Christmas Eve, so it was a great low level situation.

Christmas morning 2017 at my old place at 280’. Nice little event!

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

Well in 1992, 2003, and 2005 our first snow of the season fell in late March or early April...So if I play the long game...

Cherry blossoms cancelled. Bring back the snow blowers!

 


The atmospheric coupling to El Nino is beginning to wane as the ITCZ climatologically shifts towards/south of the equator. Take note of the growing standing wave over the equatorial eastern Atlantic/Africa through mid-December. This is not header towards a common "Nino Winter".

The FV3-GFS has been pretty consistent showing some coolish weather in the long range.

Is that going to take over? It feels like it performs better. Wants to dig those clown range troughs over us a bit with what would be some decent backdoor action. Trouble is, it's the clown range and we all know what happens once it gets inside of 8 days, let alone past a week. Sucks that the clown range is all we have to focus on.

This is so beautiful. Low heights/cold temps across almost all of the NH middle latitudes.

 

Used to see this pattern all the time during the LIA. But nowadays it’s a rarity.

Its not beautiful if you want arctic air and snow into the PNW.

I disagree..just needs a few tweaks. Having a blocking high to the NE will always pool cold air into SW Canada.

 

The problem is that the east-Asian Jet has entered into an unfavorable state for GOA ridging. Unfortunate timing.

Ugh, do you think it will stay in that state through December?

Thank you for the detailed outlook. In terms of the actual results of said outlook, I don't know why I thought this winter would be better than the last one. That's PACNW weather for you, boring.

Last winter wasn't that bad for a lot of folks. And even if the upcoming winter ends up drier than normal overall, doesn't mean it will be totally storm-less and boring.  :)

 

I think there's a good chance of some excitement later in December and early January.

“Unfortunate timing!” That seems to be your reasoning behind a lot of the mild patterns we see in the winter

The long range is a bit closer to what the FV3-GFS has been showing. Would be a bit below average with some chilly overnight lows at face value.

Sometimes. And other times the pattern is just crap. Lol.

 

In this case the pattern isn’t terrible in the long range, but there are particular boundary conditions upstream that are working against the GOA/NPAC component of the blocking.

Yeah, I'm with you on this. In that the pattern shown is actually fairly close to delivering, but the block never really consolidates.
