00Z Euro is not quite as juicy as the 12z, but still looks incredible for Monday/Tuesday. Monday may actually be one of the biggest snow storms of the winter in the North Cascades!

The weather has decided to say April Fools. A small shower came over us with graupel/wet snow and a brief 40-45mph gust. It's in the mid-30's so its melting quickly and didn't seem like sleet.

Looking at last nights euro run…tonight’s system will probably give us 0.10” or less of rainfall. Should be a pretty decent soaker early next week though…likely the most significant rainstorm since 2/28. The last week has been pretty dry…just 0.02” in that timeframe.

I remember snow in April 2008, in Hillsboro. It was either a trace or didn't stick, can't remember. 

By 2011 I had already moved to the east slopes.

Looks like March was another warmer and drier than normal month for the region

That ironically leaves out March 1st which was very wet in the Cascade foothills.     The stations out here were wetter than normal for March.

Hopefully can turn things around in April. Even a month with near average temps and precip would be a win after the last few April’s 

Can already track the series of events that culminates in the deep mid-April troughing, emanating from the Indo-east Asia sector. Expressed perfectly through the in-situ Niña background state.

Of course, the same intraseasonal cycle responsible for the upcoming troughing will likely produce a ridgy period late in the month and/or early May (seasonal changes in expressed tropical-ET teleconnections).

But with the Niña background state seemingly immovable, it seems unlikely any sort of +TNH type pattern will dominate on the seasonal or low-pass subseasonal scale. Looks closer to the pattern in -PDO/-PMM years compared to the inverse, barring some gargantuan change in the system state (which seems unlikely as the n-polar stratosphere is already in its warm season state and the wave pool is transitioning..so not much left to kick the system out of the current state).

That’s a ton of precip on the GFS. Streamflow seems ideally oriented to maximize orographic lifting without the WAA commonly associated with ARs. Unless I’m missing some topographic element that you locals understand better than I.

Not really that wet except for the mountains... and even drier down in CA.

The 12Z run is quite a bit drier than the 00Z run.

I’m talking about the setup over the next week only. Obviously week-2 is more meridional/-PNA, where-as week-1 better fits the EOF for +EPO.

Coldest EPS run yet thru D15. Looks like it’s the West’s turn for some dynamic spring weather.

Driving to Pullman today for parents weekend.   Weather has been beautiful.   There was plenty of snow at the pass but the trees were also budding out up there.    The reservoir east of pass is at the point of overflowing and the Yakima River is roaring coming down the east side.    Now down in the land of rolling hills and apple orchards and vineyards.   The land that Andrew hates with a passion!   Trees leafing out in central WA as well.

It will be interesting to see how much this changes in the coming couple weeks. Over 100 years of data Baker is in the 20th percentile of its records. I assume a week from now most places will be much closer to normal.

Puke. I remember it snowed in October that year (11/12) then barely snowed again. Only 1” in all of DJFM.

Thought we’d paid off our karmic debt after that disaster. Then 2012/13 was just as bad. 😂
