Mowing now... almost full sun here.   60 degrees.    No breeze at all so feels pretty warm.    

[TT-SEA]

Such a quick retrogression on the 12Z EPS... huge trough and strong jet on day 9 and then no sign of it 3 days later.   

[Phil]

+EPO/extended jet —> +PNA/AL —> -PNA/continental cold, all inside one week.

Don’t usually see that.

[Phil]

With that kind of whiplash, we could be looking at some legitimate cold in the western/central US towards mid-April.

[T-Town]

60 here.

That’s one heck of a jet on the 00z GFS.

Where was this in Jan/Feb?

It like one big April fools joke from Mother nature her self

[TacomaWaWx]

61 here very nice day. 

[TacomaWaWx]

Up to 63 now…looks like thicker high clouds are moving in though so might be capped on the warming for the day. Nice to be able to have the windows open the last week during the afternoon. Temps have been in the upper 50s-mid 60s consistently.

63* Federal Way

I’m down in PDX though enjoying the warm weather. Tennis and a nice hike in the Gorge!  Old thermometer at my brothers house showing 70*

Springtime in T Town!  Great shot. 

[TT-SEA]

I saw it was 69 in North Bend a little while ago... might make 70 but it looks like clouds will be thicker for a little while now.

Vegetation on a fast track today... there are some trees in our yard with leaves opening up now including native alders.   

[TT-SEA]

PDX at 69 on the hour... might be first 70 down there.

[TT-SEA]

A few raindrops now with the sun shining brightly.    Little tropical feel out here. 

[TacomaWaWx]

64/45 today. Were up to +0.9 for March now. 

[Phil]

Looks like midwinter in CT.

 

[TT-SEA]

The main North Bend weather station (which is run by a local meteorologist) did make it to 70 this afternoon... just barely.  

First 70 at PDX today as well.  

[Cascadia_Wx]

68/46 day here partly to mostly cloudy looking forward to some cooler wetter weather 

[TT-SEA]

Some trees leafing out in North Bend this evening...

[Omegaraptor]

PDX still at 70

Corvallis at 63

Vigorous Gulf Stream really showing up on that map.

Signal is present even from week-to-week.

[Timmy Supercell]

Still doing the weather rollercoaster here. With these last couple chilly days you wouldn't guess I was under a Tornado Watch on Wednesday. 

Central US under the gun mid next week again it looks like. Some thunder chances here with that. Might end up in another Marginal or possibly even a Slight Risk on SPC in that setup.

[MossMan]

Another fantastic day! Started the veggie garden overhaul today. 
High of 60. Currently 49. 

[TT-SEA]

So nice to see that huge pinwheel moving towards CA.   It's been so long.   And it's usually really nice up here when that happens.  

[Blizzard777]

65/45 and currently 53*

Still haven’t touched my yard

The entirety of spring is a rollercoaster out here. Constant battle between the cold air in the Canadian arctic and the building heat in the southwest/gulf states.

Cold shots still pack some punch into April at least. Sometimes into May. But sadly, it’s only a matter of time before the Bermuda High sets up shop for the summer/early autumn and we’re stuck with the same weather for 4-5 months, with no changes at all.

You’ll see that transition begin to take place in late April or early May, sometimes it’s a switch flip, other times it’s a multiweek glide upwards, but the end result is always the same.

[Phil]

And yeah that’s an ugly looking setup midweek. Barring a miracle, many lives about to be turned upside down.

00z runs look really dry it’s like a repeat of every spring the last ten years

Yep and it looks like more record high temps for California. Driest Jan-March ever recorded for the Sierra (150 years) is a lock. Pretty incredible

[MossMan]

Wet deck and 47. 

[TacomaWaWx]

Got down to 48 here this morning. It’s still pretty early in the spring…but so far we seem to be following how the last few played out. Doesn’t seem to matter if it’s an El Niño or La Niña. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Long range looks good! 

[Omegaraptor]

First above average March since 2016 at PDX.

[LowerGarfield]

Over cast with light showers this morning here. Chance of t-storms from 2-7pm in my corner of SE WA per SPC. 9 days until vacation to the coast. Can't wait and we don't mind the rain.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

12z ain’t bad. 

[MossMan]

I like the timing of the last few days. Sure it was kind of cloudy this weekend but very pleasant and DRY!! Very wet Monday so far which is fine. Wish we could stay on the dry weekend routine through the spring.
