He's right our best chance for a week or longer cold spell. Once we hit past mid feb it's more like a day or two maybe a few days max for cold air.

There is a chance the cold coming up will be more February-like than January-like, though. Good thing is it most likely will not be March or April-like, Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bainbridgekid Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 6z is the coldest run yet inside the resolution change. -14 to SEA and -13 to PDX at hour 165.

There is good potential for either a brief overrunning event or a something more significant as we transition out of the modified arctic air mass into a moister westerly flow.

Gradient Keeper Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Modified arctic air is starting to seep into northern Washington, but as well into the Columbia Basin. as of 3 AMBLI-YWL -9.2mb. This is actually down a bit from yesterday when it was around -11mb. It will probably increase today/tonight.OMK-YKA -8.1mb northerly flow is pushing down into the Omak, Ephrata and to about Moses Lake.

st0rmchaser Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 As always, moisture will be at a premium around 2/7 and 2/8.

Gradient Keeper Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 With the improved model consistency and agreement amongst the GEM/EURO/GFS through day 7-8 it's hard to not jump on board, hard to note bite at this colder/arctic blast solution. If 12z runs later this morning continue the theme it's starting to look very promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gradient Keeper Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 ? EURO looks cold through day 8, then exactly like the GEM does shoved the next massive wave of cold air southward into the Gulf of Alaska resulting in a flat ridge building over us. I have a hunch models may trend even a bit colder in the 4-8 day range too. We're definitely Seeing improved model consistency and continuity now day 4-8.My hunch may be paying off!

Jesse Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Important to note the mean stays well below the operational in the long term. An immediate warm up and westerly flow are by no means a given after day 10. The pattern following the cold (assuming we get the cold) will be key to snow chances, IMO.
