TT-SEA Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 At least it was dry for most of the day and the storm is clearing out by morning. 62/54 at SEA today which is +3 on the day. I suspect there will not be many below normal days in the next 2 weeks unfortunately with the clouds and rain at times. I generally love below normal weather in October because usually it means its dry (and clear at night). And it seems to be a good sign for winter. Of course one of the top recent analogs has been 1990 which was very wet in October and November (with flooding) and then the payoff with snow and cold later in December.

TT-SEA Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 I see gloomy, murky, rainy days in your future. Some... but usually in a fast moving pattern with a strong jet suppressed down into Northern California and Oregon there are noticeable breaks and even some sun between rain events. Tomorrow looks partly sunny and dry. Monday and Tuesday could be the same... even Wednesday. It will not just be raining and dark all the time with this pattern coming up.

I know how it works here now after living here for over a decade. Tomorrow will be pretty nice for example yet it shows dark and wet on the forecast picture. A few showers but lots of sun breaks and mostly dry. They can only show one icon for the day and it will be overly pessimistic most of the time. I can post some pics tomorrow afternoon to demonstrate this for you. Here is tomorrow afternoon... plenty of sunshine for western WA. http://www.atmos.washington.edu/wrfrt/data/current_gfs/images_d4/olr.36.0000.gif Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT-SEA Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Is Matthew tracking east of guidance?

Phil Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Is Matthew tracking east of guidance? Based on its path it looks like it will stay offshore for a good part of the east coast of Florida.Most guidance keeps it just offshore. These storms wobble quite frequently, so it's honestly up in the air at this point. New forecasts have 30-40ft waves near the SE GA coast with breakers over 25 feet. This on top of a surge that's 7-14ft above ground. Yikes.

TT-SEA Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Just messing around a bit. You seem to imply that I don't fully expect frequent rain and storms beginning in October. I do. Its all part of the package here. Best to have fun with it... and maximize the enjoyment of the nice periods in between the storms. We can always take more trips... even just across the mountains to places like the wine country or Leavenworth. That is a huge advantage to living here.

snow_wizard Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 The upper level pattern ended up almost exactly as I thought, however my knowledge of surface temperature dynamics in the PNW is fairly weak, so I'm not happy with my performance in that regard. Normally I think you would have done better on the temps. I've never seen such sustained anomalous troughing yield such unimpressively negative temps. Tim got pretty lucky IMO.

Sometimes weak ridging and warmer 850mb temps can lead to more cloudiness and cooler weather than the type of troughing we saw this summer. And August was the real deal.

So it will need to jog more to the west if it's to landfall in FL. Anything could happen, but odds seem lower now than this AM.

Most of my happiest memories took place around there. Probably more of a home to my heart than DC. As for Matthew, given the double eyewall, the wobbles of the inner eyewall can be deceptive. The storm as a whole continues to wobble on a heading between NW and NNW.
