WRF shows hardly anything for all of Western WA through 10AM. That being said, it has done horrible with this event, especially for PDX.

 

Edit: Looks like multiple people beat me to it.

Should be mentioned the WRF's issue with the system was more with the timing of precip. It handled the warm nose and such pretty well. The element the models struggled with overall was the frontogenesis this morning which gave us the "surprise" snow.

My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

We're not even 1 full day into 2016 and you're up to your usual routine of jumping on everything Jim posts. He can't even use the words "possible, potentially" or anything. He can't even look at any p

That deformation band is really teasing Jim, isn't it?

 

Sure is.

 

I'm pretty confident this area will see pretty hefty precip though based on recent model trends.  It undoubtedly appears the operationals have a better handle on this than the WRF.  I guess we'll know for sure tomorrow.

I'm sure you about pee pee in your pants when you saw that 8 inch snowtotal over King County on the GFS.

Another GFS run with a big snowstorm.  1290 thickness line drops to Olympia at hour 156.  I'm liking the chances for somwhere from Olympia to Bellingham having some fun next weekend.

Very light snow here.  At least I know it's still cold enough.

It's been an odd pattern and that continues, and kinda gets weirder.

 

I feel like we are finally getting a break with all of this.  I guess we were due!

Hopefully we can get something with this band tonight, would make me feel less bad about missing a possible event next weekend.

Bummer. I was really hoping the packers would win so that the Seahawks would get a free win vs Redskins.

Eh.

 

Redskins are 9-7 and have won 4 in a row and 6 of 8. We should be fine against Minnesota.

 

Deformation band is moving at an absolute snails pace. Wish we could get a report from the middle of that. If it's all snow and it stays this stationary, somebody's gonna get 6" tonight into tomorrow morning.

      May 2024 Pacific Northwest Weather

      Things were already getting pretty brown here in Mays 2015, 2016, 2018, and 2021. Which is just what happens when 80+ temps start becoming the norm and the rains shut off.

      It's the official opening day of boating season. Huge event with hundreds of boats all tied to a big log boom they put out in Lake Washington for it. Crew and sailboat races and a big boat parade. They do the same thing for Seafair. https://visitseattle.org/events/opening-day-of-boating-season/#:~:text=5%2F4%2F2024 | Seattle Yacht Club&text=Opening Day%2C the official opening,Day Boat Parade on Saturday.

      May 2024 Observations and Discussion

      Here in Chester County PA we finished April with an overall average temperature of 53.8 about 2.0 degrees above the long term 132 year average. The warmest spot was as is usually the case Phoenixville as the lowest observation spot in the county at 54.9 degrees. The coolest was the 53.0 in Warwick Township. Overall this was our 28th warmest April on record across 132 years of observation data. Of note 13 of the top 20 warmest Aprils occurred prior to 1990. While 3 of the coldest Aprils have all occurred just since 2007. Below is a graph analyzing the April temp trends (actual in blue) since 1893. I have also as always overlaid the NCEI adjusted temps (in red). As we can see they again consistently applied chilling adjustments to cool the data for every year over 110 consecutive years from 1895 thru 2005. Of interest since 2005 they have now begun to apply warming adjustments to the actual data in 12 of the last 18 years. The appropriate trend lines reflect the clear impact these post hoc adjustments have made to the warming trend lines.
