No major airmasses but just persistently chilly with a number of modest snowfalls. Hmmmm. Silver Falls had 28 consecutive sub-40 highs from December 11-January 7th. In the Willamette valley it was colder than any Dec/Jan combo since 2016-17.

So it’ll basically be a whole new experience. I saw most of the national parks in the western US as a kid, back in the early 70s. My dad was a science teacher and got paid to go to summer school at the university of Wyoming as part of the “oh crap the Russians are winning the space race” episode at that time. Laramie was an awesome place to spend the summer when you’re eight years old and we would camp all the way there and then camp at a bunch of parks on the way home. It instilled in me a love for that stuff and we took our kids to a number of parks when they were young and it did the same for them. I haven’t made it back to Yellowstone since those days but definitely looking forward to doing so eventually. You will love it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minor drought conditions for now in western WA. And we had near record breaking rain last fall and again this spring and a snowpack that was way above normal in late spring. Our natural lakes stay full almost all of the time. I suppose if we had no snow in the mountains this winter then we might start seeing some effects next summer.

TT-SEA Posted October 6, 2022 Report Share Posted October 6, 2022 It looks like the inversion should not be much of a factor for the next 4 days. The models show a little more offshore flow and less low clouds than today from tomorrow through Monday. The ECMWF shows the next 4 days being 4-6 degrees warmer than today. It assumed more of an inversion today with a high of 68 at SEA. The actual high has been at least 73.
