NWS Spokane afternoon discussion snippet

 

https://www.weather.gov/wrh/TextProduct?product=afdotx

 

First lowland snowfall of the season Thursday night and Friday
morning followed by strong winds Friday night and Saturday
morning...

Thursday night and Friday...A wave will move over the ridge and
provide a period of widespread snow for the region. The snow will
start Thursday late evening and continue through the night. A
little more uncertainty about the precip type come the Friday
morning commute as some locations like Spokane and Coeur d'Alene
will be hovering right around freezing. NBM has come in a bit
colder than the previous forecast. This has bumped up our 
snowfall potential. Also, precipitation rates could be moderate to
locally heavy, which would promote better snow accumulation on 
the roads and through the commute hours. Most valleys will see 1 
to 3 inches of snow. There could be locally higher amounts along 
the WA/ID border. The mountains will see more, generally 3 to 6 
inches at mountain passes with higher accumulations at higher 
elevations.

*Impacts: We have only had about 2 weeks of fall like temperatures
 across the region. This heavy wet snow could pose problems for
 many of the trees that have yet to drop their leaves. While we
 are not currently forecasting snow amounts like we saw in October
 2019, it does bear watching as totals have gone up since this
 morning. 

Winds will increase Thursday night and further throughout the day 
Friday. Temperatures Friday will warm into the 40s as a warm front
moves in. This will transition the snow to rain, even across many
of the mountains. 

Friday night and Saturday...Rain and high mountain snow will 
continue. Focus turns to the winds. Winds will increase through
the evening, peaking late evening through the very early morning
hours Saturday. Sustained winds of 20 to 30 mph across the
Columbia Basin, Palouse into the Spokane region is expected. Gusts
35 to 50 mph is in the forecast. Some of the higher elevations of
the central Cascades and central ID Panhandle mountains will see
strong gusty winds. 

*Impacts: Isolated to scattered tree damage and power outages from
 these winds is possible. Unsecured items will be blown around.
 Difficult travel conditions due to cross winds, especially across
 the Columbia Basin. 

The winds will continue through Saturday as colder air from a 
trough approaching the west coast moves towards the Inland 
Northwest. Sustained speeds of 15 to 25 mph and gusts to 35 mph
will continue through the afternoon.

Saturday night through Tuesday...Rounds of precipitation will 
continue across the region as the trough moves inland. The 
important thing to note is that temperatures will become quite 
cold by Monday...about 10 to 15 degrees below average for early 
November. We have forecasted highs Monday and Tuesday in the upper
20s and 30s. Low temps starting Sat night and through the 
remainder of the period will be in the teens to 20s. The colder 
valley pockets of northern WA and ID could see single digit lows.
Under this unstable progressive flow that will mean more snowfall. 
Fall sure didn't last long... /Nisbet

Thanks for typing it all out. I don’t have time to be clicking on no damm links. 

It's nice to have the full text of the discussion in the forum instead of just a link because the link will break when the next discussion comes out. Obviously we don't need all the extra junk that usually comes at the end of the discussion, but I think what was posted was the right amount and it's nice it will be available if we come back and read this tomorrow/next month/next year.

I agree. There was a similar critique made yesterday and I was just having some fun with it.

I use the Iowa (I think?) site to read them which I think archives them, could be wrong though.

Exactly!  I can't tell you how many times I've looked for answers only to find a link to something that no longer works.  I praise websites that have people type or post images of things that don't disappear.  Forums like this are really time capsules if they are kept running.  So much valuable info on them.

Some very consistent snow in Eastern Washington and Oregon, as well as a decent dumping on the Olympics.  Fantastically heavy band of rain coming in through Aberdeen and towards Shelton.  Great night for radar watching.

The rain is coming back!!!  But my eyes are currently perches on Eastern Washington and around Spokane!  Rain or snow depending on location. Large band of snow in the SE corner of the state and into Oregon.

Yep, that's where I am. Some friends of my spouse and son live in the foothills outside of our town. Their yard looks like AiTahoe's. Hearing that it is snowing in Pullman too.

Pretty sure it would change fast in early November even if it was warm.    The daylight clock dictates it at this point.
