Haha, I think you’re in a warm place yourself right now, right? Looked pretty Hawaiian.

[GHweatherChris]

Kinda odd to feel compelled to post these on April 8th... but here we are....

[GHweatherChris]

This pattern happening 2 months ago would be epic... but if it snows here between now and Tuesday that will be the first post March snowfall I have ever seen out this way... so I am rooting for it!!

 

[MossMan]

Looked interesting to the south when I was Leaving work earlier. But it never came this way.

I’d normally think we’re probably done with precip for the day with NW flow but some of the models have shown the C-zone close by or over us so we will see. 0.25” so far. 

[MWG]

Less moisture

Double CZ just lit up real quick

I’m fully expecting you’ll see atleast 1” of snow. I don’t think many people will see accumulating snow…but many will probably see it snow atleast…which is cool!

Making my husband bring in the lemon tree tonight. I think I should make the garage a green house so I can have all the tropical fruit year round until we fully turn into California.

Today was an adventure.  I had clear blue skies, pouring sideways rain, gusty bursts of wind, heavy pelting hail, and it all ended in a blue sky day with massive clouds in the distance towards the mountains and a beautiful sunset!  Wowie!

Interestingly the last significant (60+mph) south windstorm in the Portland area was April 7, 2017. Seems to be the season!

8 millibars between Tacoma and Portland…985mb low is pretty decent.

It's on its own right now but it's one of many possible solutions.

Next year, I am not cancelling my wb subscription until May… Also, The GFS shows Chris being favored @GHweatherChris

[snow_wizard]

Wowzers!  Ryegrass is currently at 32 degrees with west winds gusting to 50.  That is some bloody cold onshore flow!  All in all the next week looks truly exceptional for this late.  Can't wait to see what kind of numbers we put up.

[Skagit Weather]

The WRF has a really nice heavy slug of moisture moving through here late tomorrow night and dropping 3-4". I think the likelihood this happens is quite small (even if the precip comes I can't imagine it will be cold enough) and the NWS seems to agree as they've removed any discussion of snow/rain mix from the forecast.

It’s over.

I’m in the blue still!

The WRF appears to have forgotten that we're into April now .

2011 spent the first seven days of the month below 50! A truly cold April.

06z NAM is dynamic as all hell for Oregon. Decently deep low with tight gradients and strong winds on its SW flank, and a ripping bent-back occlusion to its west, bringing in snowfall. Eugene would have heavy snow and blowing winds if this verified. In April.

The NAM/ECMWF really want to just blast N/C Oregon and leave W. Wa essentially cold/dry.

 

GFS on its own again.

Funniest part of this is that you have the link to the SEA AFD saved as 'Tim'.    You always participate in the PNW discussion so it makes that have that link saved... but its apparently its just for me.  

[TT-SEA]

12Z NAM shifted north from its previous runs... taking that bad boy right into Oregon and SW WA tomorrow night.

[GHweatherChris]

Rain/snow mix!!

[T-Town]

Nice morning here. Sunny and a chilly 40 degrees. Felt great on my morning walk. 

[Blizzard777]

Chilly sunny morning in SE PDX

39*

 

Low of 34* Federal Way and currently sunny there

[TacomaWaWx]

36 here for a low sunny this morning.

April and May should have a few notable severe wx outbreaks if 2011 is an analog

Eastern Kentucky should start getting active anytime. 

[TacomaWaWx]

Pretty insane how the euro and gfs show lowland snow being a threat several nights in a row on their latest runs…in mid April. 

[Timmy Supercell]

Well it definitely is NO April 2016 in the northwest, some might have forgotten how amazing of a pattern it was for thunderstorms east of the cascades middle of that Spring. Every week in that season featured some sort of warm-core t'storms. That year holds both my earliest occurrence for a warm thunder (April 3rd) and my personal record number of thunders in any April I've seen (FIVE, and if you count storms within a 30 mile radius, NINE days). 

[MossMan]

Had a low of 41. 

Currently cloudy and 41. 
PHIL!! I have a dead shrub!!!!!!!! Want to take a guess as to when it died?
