January 2024 Weather in the PNW (Part II)
Requiem replied to Meatyorologist's topic in West of the Rockies
I have a feeling it's being a bit too anemic with precip-- Euro actually has quite a bit, it just happens to fall as ZR -

Cold air a hair south on the 06z -

Yo Eugene folks-- surprised it wasn't mentioned but the South Valley gets a nasty ice storm this run. I was confused by the snow totals as precip was actually increased from the 00z last night (shifted south, however)-- it appears a lot of that falls as ZR. -

So I looked back at that December 2009 event out of curiosity-- interesting to see how little Gorge influence that one featured. Mark's old blogs featured many comparisons to 1998-- save for the raging easterly winds, which 2009 was apparently bereft of. -

Well... sorta? That was mostly a nightmare if I recall because cyclogenesis screwed the pattern up and sent lows so far north that it turned into a minimal event in the end -

The Euro also showed lows going south of the region until maybe a day or two before the event. -

This run features a rather absurd 15 mb PDX-DLS gradient, as well as a 32 mb OTH-GEG gradient... that would be pretty insane. Also explicitly models gusts in excess of 75 mph in the Gorge, which I've never seen from a global model. -

I'm also thinking that. GEM and GFS like a more battleground type event with a pretty sharp temp gradient-- EURO on the other hand is much colder and like 2014 shifts those lows very far south. -

I'm sure Euro will swing north... but maybe at face value this gets Eugene in on some arctic fun -

Apparently fully snowing back home-- reminds me of a less potent but more timely April 2022 -

Wow it's coming down over there -

Last winter was pretty great-- one of the more impactful southerly windstorms I can recall in recent memory, a significant ice storm, and of course what I think may be one of the greatest PDX snowstorms of at least the 21st century. -

Tichner and Burnside up by Washington Park seems to be all snow on the cams. Looks like Sylvan has also switched over. -

Requiem replied to Meatyorologist's topic in West of the Rockies
I do not believe it will be one of the biggest single storms in Portland or the WV, but it will be a very impactful and significant system nonetheless and someone's gonna get slammed with a foot of snow somewhere. -

Has a blizzard warning ever been issued for the immediate metro area? 2008, maybe? 2004? -

Portland people... (and EPSL people too to some extent)-- it's worth noting that several models are showing insanely strong easterly winds as the gradient rises on the Euro to as much as -15 mb PDX-DLS. There would be somewhat of a downslope element to thus as well. Could be a rough go east metro and west hills, I've actually never seen a model explicitly forecast gusts of over 70 mph for the Gorge. -

Requiem replied to Meatyorologist's topic in West of the Rockies
With the first low it is slightly further north than the 12z, but precip this run still doesn't actually make it into the PDX metro or across the state line. Not too concerned, these lows always have a pretty robust and further north than modeled precip shield. -

That to me seems like the theme of today-- models not doing anything new, but reverting to their solutions several runs before and back again.
