Requiem

No central OR windstorm, low is a lot weaker.

doink

Excited to see what the 00Z holds.

Only real men use telegrams, this generation is stupid for not using them.

Curious....

/:

Even for PDX (which is the worst possible area for this setup it seems) the GFS shows maybe a wet inch or two in spots. The wind possibility is more probable for areas south of Olympia.

Anyways, I genuinely think the Puget Sound has a chance at some good snow next week. Looks like a week of serious possibilities for many types of weather. I just wish that models would be less splitty with some of these lows, but GFS and WRF insist on that strong low giving PDX-EUG a good storm and then of course heavy wet snow for Seattle.

That one was incredible. Ridge over Ohio, low pressure area moving north... It was a near perfect setup for high winds.

Ya got me, now, no kink shaming pls

I have an assuming fetish....

That's something I did not think I'd be thinking today.

Don't assume.

And your dreamy March nor'easters. I have a fetish for that March 2nd storm last year.

Then again, the EURO handled the lows back in December absolutely horribly. But even the weak EC has some fun activity next week, so in all things look active!

Interestingly I believe that regime brought several very powerful lows straight into coastal areas too.

I was going by the placement of the low pressure systems this week, as the GFS and EURO differ a lot. But this season the EURO has typically been wrong. I remember when it insisted on slamming a 970 mb low with lots of rain into Ocean Shores for an entire week of runs before the GFS solution of a 1007 mb low turned out to be correct.

I'm not very trusting of the EURO right now. I feel it hasn't been too accurate as of late.

The discrepancies between the models at only three days or so out is pretty impressive. Who knows what'll happen next week.

Not the first time they've disagreed this much

EURO still has a decently strong storm headed towards the coast at hour 96.

You guys are the experts in interpreting the models. I would really appreciate if you guys'd tell me about the status of the various storms in next week's complex setup

So, FWIW, the record for gradient in the Willamette Valley is a massive 15.2 EUG-PDX during the monstrous December 4th, 1951 storm.

This will be interesting to watch! Thank you for the info.

EURO was showing some ridiculous storm back in early December- showed 55-90 gusts in the W. Valley.....
