Water temp off our coast is pretty much irrelevant in the cold season... and debatable how much it matters in the warm season.    In the cold season... the upper levels definitely run the show.  

Tell the @The Blobthat lol.  Is this really the case?  I swear I've read counter arguments from how much storms moderate to influencing ridging.  Maybe I'm way off target.

The water temp off the WA coast does not create ridging.    And I am certain it does have any impact on our weather in the cold season.   I can sort of understand the argument in the warm season with no upper level features and day-to-day variations in the marine layer but that is about it.

I agree, I do think it only has an affect for warmer months.

Got down to 32 last night. The chunky rain changed to a rain/snow mix at one point but by the time it started getting towards freezing it started clearing up. At least I got to see some form of snow even if it was mixed precip.

Starting to look like I could see a week straight of lows in the 20s. The nights continue to trend colder out in the longer range.

Or just precip generally. Cold zonal flow is best for mountain snow! 🙂

Good thing the mountains are in excellent shape for early November going into this coolish and dry spell. I think the pattern will turn more active again the last 1/3 of the month.

Over 8” of rain here since the pattern flip on 10/21 as well, so not too bad

Salem is already at 4.86" of rain on the month. Their long term average for November is a little over 6", seem to be on track.

What is up with this pattern actually?  It looks like an offshore low rotating showers onshore.  But it's behaving as a stationary front of sorts with a band of heavy precip that has remained in place for two days with a break overnight.

0.92" on the day and pouring here (though some of that is still melted snow in the gauge from yesterday), 2.20" since yesterday morning, 37.6 degrees at my house.

I could see the sunshine to the SE this morning.
