Looks like eight consecutive days above 60 at PDX as of today, longest March stretch since 2005 when they strung together 13 March 3rd-15th

Starting to like the look of the long range for mountain snow chances and it finally seems to be moving up instead of always being 10-14 days out. Of course it's still a week or so out so plenty of time for it to disappear.

Yeah already gone on the 12z GFS

Euro still looks like it has a decent system in early April. We will see a few days ago the last few days of March looked decent for rain and mountain snowfall too. 

The trough this week never looked too wet 

Ended up with a 62/45 day yesterday. Partly to mostly cloudy and dry maybe a sprinkle at points 

12z EPS

Consensus seems to be building for another very large ridge building over the west starting days 8-10

00z runs look really dry it’s like a repeat of every spring the last ten years 

68/46 day here partly to mostly cloudy looking forward to some cooler wetter weather 

Back in town now things have sure greened up the last week and a half looks like the weather turned a lot warmer starting early last week with 60s every day and there was some decent rainfall before that

Partly cloudy and 46 this morning currently 54 models look mixed going forward but seems like any real wet weather keeps getting pushed back March will end up warmer and drier than normal overall here it would be pretty weird if we had another warm and dry La Niña spring

Somethings definitely changed in Oregon in the last decade. Might just be the new normal in terms of climo. Went down there on a road trip in mid September all the way through central Oregon and back up I-5 through Eugene. Despite recent rainfall at the time there was pretty significant drought signs…especially in the central Oregon cascade crest. 

There are signs of heat and drought damage all over western wa too slightly higher winter rainfall doesn’t offset the warmer and drier warm seasons even up there 

00z Euro looking much better than the GFS and especially the GEM in the 7-10 day range 

Rain has been falling apart on radar as it moves in most the day. Up to .03” so far, 53 degrees hopefully rainfall rates improve tonight.

Looks like NWS got around to updating their data for the 10th, a lot of stations were having issues reporting their six hour lows that day.

PDX officially fell to 28 that morning, 26 at VUO, 25 at Salem, 25 at Eugene.

Mostly cloudy and 48 this morning after a low of 42 light east wind and  no rain yet today 

Picked up .31” rain yesterday with a 52/41 spread there were some breezy south winds in the afternoon too 

Nice to see the 12z runs back off on the idea of ridging in the long range seems a couple different model were showing that yesterday 

Picked up .35” since the rain started yesterday afternoon nice to see areas to the south doing so well

60/32 day yesterday with a pretty sharp system moving in around 2-3pm  some cool clouds out ahead of it

46 and cloudy currently after a low of 41

Euro and GEM still running wetter than the GFS the next 7-10 days

This is looking like a Salem to Eugene event for rainfall mainly. Models have trended that way for a couple of days now. 

They need it more than we do anyway 18z GFS trended wetter for everyone compared to the 12z 

Hit 60 here clouds are increasing now rain about an hour away

Toasty out!

Up to 58 here could hit 60 again probably no clouds for another hour or two wonder if the warmth at the surface could help intensify that rain band this afternoon 

Hit 32 this morning with some frost sunny and 55 now going to be a big change in the weather in a few hours when that front swings in

12z GFS big step back on QPF. 

Euro and GEM both look wetter as well as the GEFS hopefully just a hiccup for the op 

Clear and 46 out with a half moon frogs are singing tonight looks like some good rain the next several days 

Some really great looking lenticular clouds off to the east today, over the cascades 

Hit 60 here after a low of 31. First 60+ temp of the month and the 4th of the year (three in mid Feb)
