This look quite similar to last night’s euro for this time frame

I love our microclimates. I think you’re most likely going to do well again tonight with the threats of snow looming again. 500’+ should definitely be good.

I think that’s mostly because our previous cold snaps happened in February and it was not uncommon for temps to be back in the 50s after the arctic airmass moved out. I think being in the high 40s or 50s this time of year would be considered warm and hope no one was expecting that. I’m liking where we are at right now being in the high 30s, low 40s.

It’s 39 at BFI and 41 at SEA. Still chilly by Seattle’s standard but last week’s arctic airmass is gone.

Just had a brief moment of very heavy rainfall and hail. Crazy active day.

This looks pretty darn epic. I’m glad you’re getting a chance to enjoy it

North bend gets absolutely buried. How much did you guys get @TT-SEAand @1000'NorthBend? sorry if you guys already posted, haven’t gotten a chance to go back and check

It was always meant to be a 500'+ kinda thing. The Euro also came around to that solution is it not? I don't really have much to comment about the NAM.

This isn't news or should be shocking to anyone but I think it's time we all agree that there is a major cold bias with the GFS. Because it ran a bit too cold, not only did it show what it showed for multiple days for multiple runs but it did it until the very end with this marginal event. Granted it worked out for some, but what it was showing was major. The switch never really materialized here and it remained in the mid 30s when this model was showing freezing. Good thing we have other models as a sanity check of some sort because can you imagine what it'd be like if we just rely on the GFS alone?

Down to 35 with some flakes mixed in now. Hopefully this is the beginning of the switch for tonight for a few inches.

All of this is very much precip rates dependent if you’re dealing with marginal temps. As rates let up, it can easily turn back to rain.

North Bend is easily one of the best places it seems. Quite amazing given that it has the same elevation as SEA. Randy’s not bad as well but you seems to hold onto the cold and snow much better.

Euro Day 10 looks kinda ugly for CONUS unless you live in northern Maine.

This is an impressively wet system to say nonetheless. Approaching 1” of rain now and a little over 0.7” past 6 hours. A lot of this fell earlier in the evening.

Finally!

Come back soon cold and snow!!! In the meantime, you’ll be missed. I’m thinking and hopefully we’ll get away with couple of slushy inches tonight but we’ll have to see. Marginal temps are stressful. THINK COLD AND SNOW!

RIP snow. I wasn’t really exaggerating. Completely gone now from rooftops and cars. We still had a solid 3-4” as of yesterday.

It’s warm enough to melt the snow with the mod/heavy rain here. Been sitting at 37F for quite a while.

Unfortunately this is the type of front that kills the snowpack fairly quickly. Streets here are a slushy mess and grass can be seen now. At this rates, all the snow will be gone here by tomorrow morning.

Patience!!

Still more reliable than Uncle Cliffy who guarantees no lowlands snow tonight. My sister is reporting heavy snow in Mill Creek. Renton is starting to switch.

The switch is happening. Feels like almost impossible at this point for it not to happen for Seattle.

Temps are down to 36 here. Getting closer. Looks like some areas around Renton are getting the mixed precip.

The switch is advancing eastward further into Kitsap. We’ll have to see how this’ll play out next couple hours. It’s down to 37 here.

Probably a very wise decision not to test the passes. West Bound Snoqualmie don’t look fun today and is expected to get worse. glad you’re home
