TT-SEA Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Could be most active t-storm day in quite awhile for you all today. Good luck! HRRR is definitely interesting for later this afternoon. Although each run shows the placement a little differently. Sun breaks will definitely help if we can manage that by early afternoon.

Kayla Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 For those interested - The NAM 3km (parallel) was officially upgraded this morning on the 12z run. The NAM 3km replaces the lower resolution and less reliable 4km model. I watched the NAM 3km very closely all winter and it was actually the one model that picked up on the Portland Jan 11th snowstorm first and has been very reliable in the short term as I've mentioned before. 1 Quote Cold Season 2023/24: Total snowfall: 26" Highest daily snowfall: 5" Deepest snow depth: 12" Coldest daily high: -20ºF Coldest daily low: -42ºF Number of subzero days: 5 Personal Weather Station on Wunderground: https://www.wunderground.com/personal-weather-station/dashboard?ID=KMTBOZEM152#history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 A memory popped up on facebook from this day in 2014 so I started scrolling from there forward to see how spring progressed... we seem to be about on track with that year. Maybe a little slower. I kept scrolling and was reminded how crazy early everything was in 2015 and 2016.Going to be much more -PNA/Aleutian ridging through most of this warm season, compared to 2014 which featured more +PNA/Aleutian troughing. The pattern over North America might actually be opposite of 2014.

Phil Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 Thank goodness. That was one of my least favorite weather years ever from spring onward.Yeah, you won't have to worry about a repeat of 2013/14/15. All three featured convection along/west of the dateline with a secondary cell over the IO. This year is sort of inverted, but unique in the extreme west-based/modoki Niño setup, with the subsidence over the IO and WPAC/dateline, and enhanced EPAC/WHEM convection. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 That webcam site for UW is kind of cool. Apparently during a normal year those trees start blooming in early March. Which is interesting. I have always thought of Japanese cherry blossoms as an early April thing. So what we are seeing this year is a delayed bloom. http://www.washington.edu/news/2017/03/07/cherry-blossom-watch-2017/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT-SEA Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Yeah, but Seattle has been running colder overall for the last month or so. They have lots of cherry trees at the outlet mall in North Bend and they are just about to start blooming. Maybe even today. We are probably a week behind Seattle out here. This is last year on February 25th... they are just about to this stage now so a month later this year.
