  3. November 2017 PNW Discussion Thread

    in West of the Rockies

    Posted

    I thought the main event happened last night during that first event of wind and rain. Pressure began to rise on the barometer so figured it was done. Winds calm in Federal Way this morning but lots of standing water around the yard. I was delightfully surprised when they upgraded us to high wind warning now!

    Got gas for the generator just in case this storm gets some attitude!

    from NWS 2:30 am Sunday discussion

     

    .SHORT TERM...Here I sit looking model to model,

    seeking a solution that won`t make me hit the bottle.

     

    Though I must admit perpetual sogginess makes forecasting a breeze.

     

    Debating whether or not Seattle is under a curse,

    I decided to type this discussion in verse.

     

    So if this weather poem does not please,

    do remember I studied science and not humanities.

    Let`s start this off on a happy note,

    with words so rare they leap from my throat.

     

    A weak ridge aloft will keep conditions dry and a break in the clouds will bring some sun.

     

    This should last for most of today,

    so take this rare opportunity to go out and play.

    An approaching upper level trough will sadly kill this fun,

    with an incoming front bringing rain overnight tonight and into Mon.

    The advancing trough behind this front,

    will allow showers to continue compounding this affront.

     

    Once the trough passes by Monday night yet another ridge will be overhead.

     

    Temps will rise if only a tease,

    for they still can`t escape beyond the 50s.

     

    The next weather system looms to the south filling this forecaster with dread.

    As it lifts northward, it looks to return precipitation for Wed. SMR

    .LONG TERM...Rain will spread as far as the eye can see,

    even though models still tend to disagree.

     

    On the track of the low but this point is fairly moot,

    because no matter who`s right it`s just going to rain some more.

     

    Wet conditions persist for the second half of the week,

    so you`d best be accustomed to shoes that squeak.

     

    And so at my heart these models tore

    as I looked upon them like The Raven from days of yore.

     

    I continue to ask if Seattle shall see consistent sun

    and they continue to seemingly answer...nevermore. SMR

    Traveled down to Longview this afternoon around three. Temp on departure was 46. As we were driving southbound the sky turned dark around Olympia and dumped very wet sloppy rain snow mix all the way to Longview. The temp dropped to 38 degrees in 15 minutes. South winds were also just ripping at the same time. Cold air just couldn't quite make it down to the surface even with the heavy precipitation but it sure did try!
