Some good sun breaks developing now! Going to prime that atmosphere for some afternoon convection hopefully!

No sign of a real warm pattern on the models either. The long range GFS shows a drier pattern in the long range, but looks relatively cool. Looks like a good set up for some frost here.

I will point out the N. Oregon Cascades are going to get hammered with snow tonight and tomorrow. Great news. Above 4,000' there should be 1-2' of snow. Looks like 2-3" of rain here in the next 36 hours. Looks like another big Cascade snow dump toward the end of the work week. We did have some heavy warm rain last night, but it was not prolonged. Jesse's worst fears thankfully were not realized.

My January-March precip was 22.37". That is about 6" below normal.

One thing to remember is that snow pack in Oregon has not been very good over the past several years, last year nothwithstanding. A lot of these rains have been warm AR events.

I'll tabulate my stats later.

How about Eugene? 2013-present?

Leafing update. The alders appear ready to leaf in the next 1-2 weeks. Big news.

Not half as insane as his reaction to Trump being elected. I will give you credit, if you had a meltdown about it, it did not carry over to a weather forum...

I think what people like Tim fail to understand, is how important and positive anomalous rainfall can be for our ecosystem and region, that is anomalously above normal rainfall. Our region thrives on good rain years and that is why they are of vital importance. We depend on it. Good water years are good years.

Thank you Jesse.

0.75" of rain since midnight.

Light snow and 28 at Tulsa, OK on the hour. Pretty impressive.

Heavy rain falling and 55. A winter storm warning up now for the N. Oregon Cascades.

They are very reliable. As are their precip maps.

53 here. Calm before the storm. Good sleeping weather.

Maybe some snow on April 15th.

I have to say. It is a beautiful evening out there right now! Mid-50s with the frogs croaking and the dogs barking.

Hi Andrew! How many kids do you have again? We just recently confirmed that a second is on the way. Guess the timing worked out for moving into a bigger house! 2018 is featuring a few exciting changes! That is cool! Congrats! I have 4 daughters.

Just noticed the 18z GFS shows some snow here later in the week. What a fun roller coaster we are on!

I think there will be a tornado somewhere north of Eugene within the next 24 hours.

Hi Tim!

Maybe since I'm the boss I hire people who like cold and rain?

Check out those demonic convective bands.

You work with a bunch SoCal transplants. I work with native Oregonians. I hear things like this throughout the year at my office. "I sure hope it snows." "This summer has been to hot." "I can't wait for fall!" "We need some rain." "I miss the rain." "I enjoy the sunshine, but if it could stay below 85 I would be happy." No joke dude. Get out more.
