Hopefully the situation over the central sound improves a bit. Lots of time to go yet.

Monday night 00z vs 12z

Its looks less snowy through Monday afternoon than the 12Z run...but its colder too.  

I was just looking at the difference in water trajectory.  Kind of surprising.

Euro is snowier than the GFS up to this point…….

Bestie don’t play with me, you know how it is for the Swamp dwellers..

But I’m so excited, I’m not gonna get any sleep this week. 

[Deweydog]

Would be another epic setup for the coast as depicted. Pretty crazy if it happened twice within a year…

[TT-SEA]

This run is going to take away the overrunning snowstorm that the 12Z run showed for Tuesday in favor of just staying cold.

At this point snowfall maps are meaningless.  I November 2010 the models showed zero snow here and we ended up with 6 to 12 inches across the area.

Prolonged cold on this run.

Some snow, then even colder air as the Arctic Blast arrives. Great run so far!

Is that a kidney?

850s get down to -13c over Portland and -16/17c over Seattle. I wonder if Mark will say something about this soon

No complaints here.  I do want snow going into it though.

Especially with the artic front and any PSCZ.

[Gradient Keeper]

Admittedly, this is a lot better than I expected.

[TT-SEA]

Straight up impressive!    Way colder than the 12Z run without the overrunning event to warm it up.

Too bad for Joe on twitter.

It seems like the ones that work out end up being extended in the models.  Certainly happened in Feb 2019.

[Front Ranger]

Wow, this run really keeps the cold air locked in place.

[Gradient Keeper]

Day 8 bitter backdoor cold

[Ice_is_Everywhere]

Dear god, this is impressive. Excited, but guarded against any possible rug pulls.

I think almost everywhere in western WA will have snow on the ground by Monday afternoon.

I remember flying into SEA from Hawaii on the morning of 12/28/21 and it was surreal seeing snow on the ground from the coast all the way until we landed.

A bump or two west and places got prolonged snowfall, I can see how GFS got that crazy solution now. Trough stalls.

[snow_wizard]

Alrighty then!

[Ice_is_Everywhere]

I'm also seeing a weak SE ridge. I don't think that was there before.

[Gradient Keeper]

[Cold Snap]

This is crazy for the Euro! The fact it’s prolonging the cold too. If we can get some snow going into this it will probably be amazing! Hopefully everyone gets in on the fun!

[RentonHill]

Wow

[TT-SEA]

High temps on Tuesday... cover your outdoor faucets.

Day 9'er WOW! WOW!

The models seem to be trending toward prolonging it.  Very exciting.  PTU!

[Nov1985]

Not a low in sight after frontal passage. We may be able to add a ULL or something later. But the mighty EC still looks chilly early next week.
