[Missing] March 2022 PNW Wx Discussion

[TacomaWaWx]

56/42 today. Haven’t had any rain here the last 3 days. 

[Cascadia_Wx]

Looks like eight consecutive days above 60 at PDX as of today, longest March stretch since 2005 when they strung together 13 March 3rd-15th

That sucks!

Better than rain! I was going to bring silly rompers for us to wear if it were sunny but that will have to wait for Stevens later in April.

Been a pretty troughy and cool run in the Upper Midwest at least back to mid January or so. Feels like they're getting to be due for a big tasty ridge soon. Maybe mid April.

Oh yeah, the torch is coming. Probably just 2-3 weeks away.

The superior GFS model keeps getting drier for the same timeframe. Guess which one will be correct? 

And the trend continues on the 00z. When this is all said and done, it’s going to be a <.25’’ event for PDX. Probably much less.

Hopefully when they finally torch, the West Coast finally gets a decent series of storms that bring rain and mountain snow to drought stricken areas such as the southern half of Oregon, California and even the Desert SW!

I've worked for the military my entire life, which is actually one of the reasons why I live where I do now. Unfortunately, none of our work is in the public domain, and won't be until at least 2021.

...Well?

[AlTahoe]

Euro is showing Temps approaching 100F in the Central Valley on day 10!

Only about 30 -50 days early. 

[TacomaWaWx]

Got down to 45 this morning. Looked like it rained at some point last night but nothing measurable. 

[MossMan]

.50” on the day, 7.13” for the month. 
42 degrees.

And that’s with a cool bias. 

[MossMan]

And it’s dumping again. 

[Blizzard777]

Looked like some spitting rain earlier but nothing in the bucket. 
Otherwise party sunny here this morning 

46*

Did I really say that?   

FYI take any post of mine before 2015 with a grain of salt. I was an addict and a basket case. Hence why I haven’t yet finished school at age 29.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

46F and cloudy but dry.

[LowerGarfield]

55 and sunny here and a bit breezy.

[Cascadia_Wx]

60/44 day yesterday mostly cloudy to partly cloudy

Picked up about .02” this morning with a low of 46 pretty weak system looks like most major stations recorded 0” or a trace

If it's college, there are people in their 40's going. But HS is another matter..

Hopefully that substance was weed as I hear it's not as bad to kick. WD's can make it hard to do much. lol

[Cascadia_Wx]

Nice looking 12z GFS run 

[Timmy Supercell]

I guess we can have high spreads from low to high as well. It was 38 this morning, now it's in the low 80's.

This evening some boomers on the way!

[Cascadia_Wx]

Looks like PDX picked up .03” with that last shower just .04” to go to get to 3” for the month (which is still almost an inch below average, but double what they got last March)

Snowball fight early in morning and outside pool party/bbq in the evening!  Living the dream

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Outstanding GFS run!

[MossMan]

After a very wet morning that added up to .60” of liquid, the sun is now out! Perfect!! 

[Chewbacca Defense]

The Sun has been pretty active the past few days.  It just corked off an X1.38 flare, and the CME from a few days ago should start hitting in he next few hours, and could get into the KP7-KP9 range.  Too bad its so D**n cloudy.  Getting a few sun breaks up here, but not alot.

 

 

 

[NWbyNW]

I'm seeing rain showers around the Sound, but it's been dry here all day. Even blue skies and sunny at times.  I'm getting sick of this.  No rain whenever they forecast rain.  It's been this way for about a month.

I’ve almost finished my degree. Took the scenic route even with the belated start. Have a lot of catching up to do, but I know as long as I appreciate what I have, and live each day to the fullest, then I’ll have no new regrets. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Snowy April coming Friday for the foothills?

[Phil]

The D10-15 EPS goes hard core -PNA. Looks snowy in the higher elevations. 

[TacomaWaWx]

55/45 today. Pretty nice day mostly sunny now. 

[Deweydog]

Just made my first pledge, guys! Colder runs ahead!!!

[RentonHill]

Looks like a big boy coming together

Don’t be a fool!

[RentonHill]

Dark clouds, bright sun, flowers blooming. Spring is springing

[TT-SEA]

The reason King County is basically drought proof shown below.   Even a weak little front can bring hours of heavy rain training over the same area.

Will probably get watered down but potential is there for the best April pattern in years

PDX hasn't seen a high below 50 in April since 2012. It used to be an almost annual occurrence.
