Cascadia_Wx Posted May 16, 2022 Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 Looks like PDX hit 70 again today. After the last few weeks it’s easy to forget how relatively easy it is at this point in the season with a reasonably mild airmass and some sun. 68/54 here.

Obviously some of that has to do with UHI, but Hillsboro hasn't recorded a sub-19 low either (19 in Nov 2019 and Feb 2022). I hope we can somehow get a sub-20 low next winter. Maybe we're paying back for the 11 degree low at PDX in 2017 and the 3 degree low at HIO in 2017. Probably you are! That 2017 low beats last winter’s 4°F at YVR, which was the coldest in decades there. Quote It's called clown range for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Bethany seems to be a dry area, and so does the PDX/Sauvie island areas. East Portland is definitely the wettest. Maybe the PDX dry area is because of the West Hills? Here in Bethany it's probably because of the Coast Range, which is why I never do that great in onshore flow snow events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason it is raining over your place is because of cold core convection. Weak stuff that that, but there is a slightly cooler airmass overhead and it is very slowly cooling, allowing nighttime sfc parcels to become slighly bouyant, when mixed. 2 Quote Weather stats for MBY Snowfall: -Total snowfall since joining: 50.25" -2018-19: 21" -2019-20: 2.5" -2020-21: 13" -2021-22: 8.75" -2022-23: 5.75" -2023-24*: 0.25" -Most recent snowfall: 0.25”; January 17th, 2024 -Largest snowfall (single storm): 8.5"; February 12-13, 2021 -Largest snow depth: 14"; 1:30am February 12th, 2019 Temperatures: -Warmest: 109F; June 28th, 2021 -Coldest: 13F; December 27th, 2021 -Phreeze Count 2023-24: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
