Looks like a low of 40 last night up to 57 now should be interesting to see how warm today gets definitely going to crack 70 but 75+ is possible 

What makes this kind of weather more tolerable is knowing we have a week of troughing. GEM and GFS are now on board with at least a week of cool weather. Lovely.

Who else is getting no work done today, what with The Masters and Opening Day? :)

Up to 58.8. How high will we go??

 

Ooof, I can tell I haven't been around much. My sig still says my high so far on my station is 55.2.

Not so fun fact of the day.

California has now had cities set all time monthly high Temp records in 6 straight months. Pretty astounding

 

I read an article about population growth in Arizona which stated that this is the worst Western drought in over 1,000 years now. Not sure if that's true or not.

GFS is probably the "warmest" model right now. All models have trended wetter with more snow for the mountains. What a blessing. 

The 12z GFS is trying another weird backwards trekking TPV around D9/10. That type of thing wasn’t an issue before they upgraded the model last spring (at least not over the NPAC). It had a lot of other issues, of course, but nothing like that.

It’s not the worst in 1000 years. Those medieval megadroughts lasted centuries at a time, and covered much more of the West.

Today’s conditions were the “baseline” by the standards of 1000 years ago. And even that was relatively “wet” compared to the middle Holocene thermal maximum (roughly 6000-8000 years ago).

The problem is the LIA-mid/late 20th century was possibly the wettest period in the West/Southwest since at least 8000BC, (possibly since the end of the last ice age). What we thought was normal was, in fact, very abnormal by the standards of the last 11,000 years (Holocene).

We haven’t even begun to experience what the West/southwest is capable of, in terms of drought. Though I suspect orbital trends preclude a return to a middle Holocene climate state.

Working on that. Got pre-qualified with two different lenders. We're on the list with a builder but won't be our turn until early July.

Still need approval from work to be remote in a different state, so we may end up ceding our position on the list. The company is working on downsizing from our 120 occupant building and looking to get into two 15-30 person buildings. I guess they have signed off on one in Fife and are looking at others in Kent today/next week. I'm already remote 4 days a week, so if they move us to Kent, I hope they are okay with me just being fully remote.

12Z ECMWF insists on diving that low on Sunday night into Monday way south into northern CA while the GFS shows SW WA.   Huge difference in tangible weather for western WA and OR.

I’ve been wanting to see Silver Falls in the snow for a while now. @SilverFallsAndrew you think much will accumulate on Sunday?

I really doubt it. Too bad you couldn't have made it up in December. That was perfect. 

It all comes down to precip rates and timing on the precip. Airmass will be cold enough early Sunday morning, so if we have some moderate-heavy precip in the predawn hours its possible we could pick up an inch or two. Potential early Monday morning too, depending on the track of that system. But I wouldn't plan a trip around snow possibilities. Though if we're getting hammered Saturday night or something like that I'll let you know. 

My best guess is we'll get a dusting to an inch at some point between Saturday-Monday, and maybe a couple of times, but anything over 2" would surprise me. This area did pretty well in April 2011 and 2008, so it's possible for a 3-5" snow event this time of year if things break just right.

I don’t think I’m available until afternoon on Sunday so that’s unfortunate. Thank you for the written up analysis though - helps a lot! Shame that Jan and Feb were so dry.

Silver Falls wouldn’t be a bad place for an Oregon and SW Washington member meetup.

After today the month will be running warmer and drier than average for many locations so really we are due for more troughing 

This March was the first warmer than average March since 2016, even if a couple of them were pretty borderline.

Maybe we can manage to break some more streaks like that this year. Been a while since our last below average April.
