March 2015 PNW Discussion

But it was supposed to rain all day.

All of the web cams look pretty damp over there. Pretty sure it's not totally dry. Never said it would be dumping rain.

I never said I would be home either.

Feels like a mild early summer rain out there this morning.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Looks like a wet weekend!

Looks like a wet weekend!

With mid-late April temps!

Bring it on! GFS now keeping precip south of Seattle on Sunday though

[Deweydog]

54 at PDX at noon. Cooling degree days are adding up!

[Tyler Mode]

Quite a change going from night after night of clear skies and frost to a low of 50 this morning.

 

Made a hike out to the still closed Johnston Ridge Observatory the other day...though there is not a spot of snow anywhere.

70F and sunny here in downtown OKC. 

 

The sun sure is strong compared to the PNW, what a difference 10 degrees in latitude makes.

 

I'm driving to Denver tomorrow and staying for a few weeks at least. When I was there two days ago it was 59F and sunny with piles of snow still.

Raining pretty good across your entire area now. That sharp cold front must have slowed down. Has the well defined line of clouds from last night passed yet??

Today has been way better than what you painted last night for sure.

[TT-SEA]

It has rained or drizzled most of the day out there. Point all along was that it would be precipitating long after that line passed.

My wife said it sprinkled a bit twice but nothing else until 10 min ago been a overall dry day, where I live.

.. Another go round perhaps Tim. ? ("Smiley".)

 

Junk, then a lesser organized and "re-developing" second wave. Not part of an occlusion. And with the "rain all day" idea of yours, not having resulted. - http://theweatherfor...ssion/?p=74013

[TT-SEA]

God D**n, I am not a ******* idiot.

 

However, it will rain longer inland than here.

 

This was your 3rd incorrect statement last night. As you can see by the radar this afternoon:

Own it man! We are all so bored.

Sorry here Fred. 

 

But it's down to "name-calling". 

 

Chief "bullsh*t-artistist" in charge, cousin Tim from North Bend.

Comic relief indeed. And no name calling either.

Have an holly jolly Christmass.

 

How about the more basic reality, here for ya son. (?) All you've done here, with this "argument" (extended.), has been to have attached your thinking of what might have resulted, to an initially fairly simple, more general and straight-forward comment and observation. 

 

What I'd read, more basically, .. quick moving front-line, doesn't appear that precip will be more long-lasting. 

 

— Next system activity, how about instead, posting your own "front" to "back" analyses of what you see developing. And not piggy-backing your thinking onto to someone else's more general view posted. And pulling them into to have to deal with your own, more specific and confused.

[Deweydog]

Pretty sharp cold front set to move through!

(.. looks like, hadn't it been. Before the general dissection. ?)

.. Here where we are, in "Palm Springs". -  http://theweatherfor...ussion/?p=74047

Actually yes. And it's cloudy here.

I can walk outside and say particular clouds look like snow clouds but quickly deduce they're not when the ambient temperature verifies to be 63 degrees on the Fahrenheit scale.

[richard mann]

.. Have fun.

Meh, I am over it.

 

No rain gear needed today, that is all that matters.

That's cool.

[richard mann]

Still waiting to see how this plays out.

 

The 5-day more, look ahead, "Rain Returns", Blog-post type forecast that Cliff Mass had put together back on the 9th.

[Front Ranger]

Low hanging fruit bruh.

 

One record warm month at OLM in the past 23 years. Five for SEA in the past 5 years.

 

One record warm month at EUG in the past 20 years. Five for PDX in the past 10 years.

 

UHI is for real, bruh.

[Front Ranger]

WA did have its warmest February on record. OR came in 3rd.

 

I stand corrected then. Though it still wasn't as anomalous as Oct 2014. Surprising given that Everett, OLM, Spokane, Pullman, Walla Walla, Centralia, Landsburg, Battle Ground and quite a few other long term stations failed to set monthly records.

 

Clearbrook did manage to set their record, their third monthly record in the past 5 years. Prior to that, they hadn't had a record warm month since 1992.

I ll be flying into okc in 25 hours.

Swing low, sweet fruit chariot.

 

It's been really warm.

Darn! It seems we just don't do warm as well as we did in the old days!

[Deweydog]

Sticky one coming up tomorrow.

Yuppers.

 

But that doesn't mean places like SEA and PDX aren't low hanging fruit for monthly anomalies. SEA in particular. Not mutually exclusive concepts we're talking about here. UHI and global warming (centered on the West Coast) can coexist!

[Front Ranger]

Nothing is ever as good as the old days. Just ask old people.

2006 through 3-10-2015!!!

You mean humid? Can you show me how you were able to figure that out. We rarely have humid days here if that is what you mean.

By March standards it should be a bit sticky.  SW'erly flow, fairly high heights (good subsidence), plenty of residual moisture.  Hot stuff.
