All Activity

Regarding the bolded, the blocking HP's in the Spring time that deliver easterly Flow off the cold lakes....oh ya, I definitely remember how that can be dreadful. Meantime, enjoy the warm weekend and I'm pretty certain you'll do good...or...will @OttumwaSnomow steal your storms??? My gut says your both going to end up doing well.

.32" here Eastside Tacoma at the moment

Yeah I should of made it more clearly I mean for the Western WA/OR lowlands under 1000' elv.

Up to .33 for the day. Blessings, as they say.

Cloudy day today here in cloudriver. 42 currently low of 36.

0.0/0.34/7.65 spread for me. Quite the contrast. I don't think i'll get shadowed from all the storms coming up tho

For days I've been excited about storms and heavy rain this weekend. However, as is the case all too often, models are backing off as we approach the start. Some models are drying out my area big time. Instead of 2+ inches, there are now models showing less than a half inch Friday and less than an inch total all weekend. Regarding the first wave on Friday, it has slowed and it doesn't arrive here until midday Friday when the storms are crapping out. The second wave is still very up in the air. A few models insist there will be a plume of heavy rain from Missouri up through southeast Iowa. Other models (Euro) say the heavy rain will be in northern Iowa into Minnesota, with no heavy band from Missouri into southeast Iowa. Once again, I am having to greatly lower my expectation and just hope we can get an inch out of this entire weekend. On top of the BS this weekend, there is suddenly a trend on some models toward early May being much less warm and active compared to what they've been advertising in recent days.

Depends who you're asking. For my location, the stronger the better, because we don't need an arctic outbreak to get snow.

Which La Nina strength is best for us here in the PNW Weak, Moderate, Strong or Very Strong? I used to think Moderate for the longest

51% of Americans now support mass deportations, including 42% of Demoncats.

Haha @Cascadia_Wx check this out.

Yeah, I think there are good reasons for us all to hope Trump doesn't win this procedural ruling. I don't support his prosecution, but at the same time blanket immunity isn't a good idea.

All the way to the Sierras!

Not much longer until Apruary becomes Mayuary here due to the localized cooling caused by the global warming.

28 here also, but with a lot of frost. Had many hours of calm winds here. Looking at obs from Grand Rapids, it looks like winds stayed up a little. That could've made the difference. Spent about 8 hours with temps at/below 32 here. Not a problem though because I've learned from getting burned in the past to just prepare accordingly (outdoor plants) in case it gets colder than expected. It was sort of an ideal scenario to end up on the colder side of expectations because yesterday was very chilly with the wind off the lake -- high only made it to the low 40s -- which gave us a head start on nocturnal cooling, and then the wind slackened and eventually went calm.

Spring rain does hit different. Warmer and vibrant, great smells out there this morning

Rain starts early tomorrow for a couple days. Highs near 70. ️

Well, I’m tired of endless rhetoric and no action. meantime, we do stupid things like this:

ABSOLUTELY SICKENING!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dusty in the desert

And then there's everyone's favorite corrupt Justice. Only the best and brightest for SCOTUS.
