Low today 52F! Currently 55F

[Cascadia_Wx]

Midnight high of 60 here currently 54 and partly cloudy with some showers around will have to see how much it goes up this afternoon but would be rare to have a midnight high in April

Picked up .08” rain overnight with a low of 49 early this morning 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Oh no...

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Just needs to trend another 100 miles north...

[AlTahoe]

There's probably a 1% chance of it happening but the 60" of snow being shown on the crest by the 16th would be a life saver going into summer.

Would be awesome if it happens for you. I won't root for a northern trend. Y'all deserve it. 

[Hawksfan2008]

Hard to say if this is just the higher elevations bleeding down to North Bend but this is crazy to see nonetheless. Flying out today and hoping I’m not missing an epic spring snowstorm! 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Tuesday morning is pretty snowy here on the EURO.

It definitely has terrain bleed issues in our area.     It assumes NB is at about 4,000 feet.   But it's almost guaranteed to snow at this point.

@Meatyorologist how we looking for t storms today

[Requiem]

Hmmm I return from my academics-prompted hiatus to see the models looking real interesting. Very nice!

[Cascadia_Wx]

Pretty solid Euro run with another nice trough ready to move in at day 10

[TigerWoodsLibido]

So frustrating that we almost never seem to get these patterns to impact this area in Dec-Jan anymore.

[TacomaWaWx]

52 and mostly sunny but it looks like some heavy showers are moving in from the SW. 

[TacomaWaWx]

Hard to believe the euro is showing lowland snow within the believable range. Still pretty doubtful about accumulation below 500’ but some snowflakes might be a good bet.

Up until this year it had been about 5-10 years since we’ve seen anything like this in April

There was a pretty decent pattern last half of December this winter but it probably wasn’t as anomalous as the upcoming pattern will be, at least for Olympia south

Yeah the late December trough was pretty spectacular. Pretty top of the line for cold onshore flow.

Down here it snowed several days in a row and we had a good string of highs in the 30s Christmas through New Years but nothing as crazy as what they saw further north or in the mountains

The cell that just came through was pretty dry but the wind packed a punch. 

[Cascadia_Wx]

12z EPS seems to be falling in line with other models as far as prolonging the chilly spell into the 7-10 day range

I would classify it as "extremely breezy" at the ground right now even though its passing south of me. Tops of trees are "fukkin windy" and it sounds like good storm

[Blizzard777]

Just went through a nice hail shower!  Storms building south h of Chehalis 

[MossMan]

Distant rumble, big drops of rain and semi frozen something. 46 degrees. Yesterday is gone with the wind. And I already miss it. 

[Blizzard777]

Oh yaaaaa! Out enjoying

Pretty fukkin windy all the way to ground level as it passed through here. Distracted me from the meeting I was supposed to be paying attention to. 

[T-Town]

Looks like another round incoming. 

[T-Town]

[SilverFallsAndrew]

ICON trended a little south. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

That is one chilly trough early next week. 

[MossMan]

Hail and snow.

Temps/DP’s are on track with previous meso guidance.

Backing winds are arriving now with a solid CZ developing. Could get quite active, quite quickly in the city. Away from the CZ more random showers will move through, each one bringing their own shot at some lightning.

Haven’t had much precip with these hail showers yet but they’ve been windy and dropped the temp significantly.

It's amazing how much the temp will drop with some of these showers. The other day we had a shower come through, hardly dropped any precip, but dropped the temp from 47 to 40 in the middle of the afternoon.
