Wow. Congrats!!!

And so continues some great model trends. (I feel like we have been saying this for weeks now). It is nice to see the event at 192 hours now though.

ECMWF looks pretty arctic to me....

00z ECMWF is fantastic tonight. Loving the trends.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised how much the different the GFS and parallel GFS is compared to the ECMWF as of late, but I'm still surprised. And here I thought the "upgraded" GFS would be better at seeing these large scale pattern changes...silly me.

12z ECMWF at 240 hours is money

Got it, makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

Agreed. Back then they used a 3 second average for peak gusts. Now I believe it is 5 seconds.

Did it really gust to 74mph in 1995? NWS record report from today is saying the 67mph gust today was highest since March 26th 1971.

Strongest gust for PDX since March 1971?!? Incredibly overachieving storm.
