It was more in reference to your "heard it here first" comment. With your judgement pee-shyness, it's more like heard it here last! Hahahahahahahahahaha!
Our climatology doesn't support this. The four corner's high just as easily expands into our area, merges with eastern Pacific ridges, etc. I think it's more about your default attitude kicking in.
I remember that one vividly. I was deckhanding that summer and Buoy 10 was in full swing. Needless to say it was a busy day for the USCG out of Cape D. Big difference is that set up was more about a coastal jet/SE sucker kind of scenario while this was just pure cyclogenesis with excellent mixing. Incredible.
The gust to 62 at Quillayute sticks out to me the most. They're pretty sheltered and it's truly exceptional for them to get out of the 50's during fall/winter.
There was always progged to be some decent warm advection with tomorrow's system. Drink heavily through the next 24-36 hours, then you'll be fine. Gonna be a warm night.
