Doinko Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 I was just looking at some of the Special weather statements and AFDs from December 2008, and it seems like the big storm was kind of messy. Reports of 16" of snow near the West Hills/Beaverton/Tualatin with 0.5" of ice, just with that one storm. And another 3.5-4" with the Arctic front on the 14th in the west metro and a bit with the event around Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have to rain a drop until October and SEA would still end up way above normal for rainfall for the water year.

snow_wizard Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 Well... I have to admit I downplayed this heatwave more than I should have. Fron an intensity standpoint it's nothing extraordinary, but the duration is up there with the greats. I guess I was taking some solace in the fact we had nice cool weather just before it and we will have a big crash coming out of it. That doesn't take anything away from one hell of uncomfortable week we are enduring. 7 2 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

Frontal Snowsquall Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 Good agreement between the 00z GEFS, GEPS and EPS on the longer range pattern at days 11-15.
