Brutal black ice weather out here this morning. A mix of rain showers and clear breaks overnight with temps dropping to 32 around 630am.

 

Wow... nothing like that here.

 

It was raining hard when we woke up... dry now with some breaks in the clouds and 40 degrees.

I must have slept through it but looking at my rain gauge I received 3/4” over the last 24hrs with the majority of it falling last night.

Dry at the moment though.

Sounds like there was a bad accident on the west side of Shawnigan lake, which is our typical route to Victoria. My wife had to take the slightly longer drive thru Mill bay. More highway driving that route, so probably less chance of ice.

3 years ago today, an EF-1 tornado struck just over a mile from my home.

 

I was coming back from Portland when I noticed rotation on the radar and sent out a message on FB.  I experienced some of the largest hail I have (quarter size) in the NW. 

 

I was up on my roof fixing my anemometer when I heard the power lines arching followed shortly by a ton of sirens.  I never saw the tornado itself.

 

In the attached velocity photo, the rotation is near Mount Vista headed NE.  The other photo is the damage path put together by the NWS.

You seem to get a lot of non sticking snowfall. Must he pretty agonizing, although it's nice to see it falling anyways.

The fv3 shows nothing remotely interesting or any semblance of potential. Although it hasn’t seemed to do well this winter so maybe that is a good thing?

 

Though it did show a similar setup to today's 12z operational on its 18z run yesterday.

2011-12: 98.5"                   2011-12: 92.67"

It's always sunny at Winters Hill!

You haven't been paying attention the past couple of days...

I guess it depends on what you are referring to. The fv3 has been extremely bullish of moisture including snow here (even on the pivotal site) as well as cold especially going into our recent cold snap. It shows a much more progressive pattern in the long range and is on an island by itself in that respect now.

Looks like the 12z GFS brings back the AR in the mid-range although it is more realistic than what was shown yesterday.

      April 2024 Weather in the PNW

      Tomorrow's gonna be wild. More akin to what you would see east of the Rockies. Not so sure I've ever seen such a quick pattern progression outside of the summer. 6am: Upper 30s and calm after a clear night. Warmer on the hilltops exposed to east winds, but in the usual sheltered cold spots it should decouple fine. Noon: Low-mid 70s and increasingly breezy out of the east. Main ridge axis overhead. Some filtered sunshine, with fast moving high clouds. It'll be a beautiful morning. 6pm: 50s with increasing rain as a cold front absolutely violates the westside. Some pockets of heavier showers embedded given the warm air ahead of the front. Crazy crash. Midnight: Mid 40s and showery. Not even twelve hours after the main ridge axis passes over does the main axis of our trough glide through. Already starting to warm again above 700mb.

      April 2024 Weather in the PNW

      June also for Southwestern Oregon. Does this data include the June 2021 heatwave? My guessing is if we do another 30-Year Trend in the next decade or so then the pink will slowly creep north towards Western Oregon and Washington with June trending the warmest. Another thing I noticed is in parts of Alaska, February is the warmest. That makes sense because over the past 30 years we have had some big time February Arctic Blast here in the PNW while there is big ridging in Alaska. In my opinion this trend might also continue and the February will slowly overtake October as the month trending the warmest up in Alaska. If my hypothesis is correct then that means Spring will become shorter and shorter as Winter ends later than usual and Summer beings earlier.
