PNW December 2022 - Part II

Popped up on my memories from December 2016. This had a lot of potential but ended up being dry cold up here for a few days. That whole winter was a lot of wasted potential up here lol.

So massively frustrating up here. We did eke out a little snow here and there but nothing over a couple inches that would mostly melt before the cold air would slowly creep in.

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

Dead calm here, not even a breeze.

I think you are in the eye of the storm... be careful and continue to shelter in place!

Just checked Snoqualmie Falls... no snow there in February 1995.   Looks like 3 cold days in an otherwise fairly warm month otherwise.   And it was wetter than normal.    It was nothing like February 2019.

There was a snowstorm for the Kitsap Peninsula though

2019 was very wet down here at least. Maybe it was not up north. We had about 13" of precip, average in February is 9". 

February 1995 was an extremely warm month. I believe it was the warmest on record at PDX until 2016. Ridging sat over us at the beginning of the month, we had a week of sunny weather with highs near 60. Then the ridge retrograded, arctic air surged south and we had a 3 day cold snap. A low spun up off the mouth of the Columbia with the arctic front and slowly dropped south bringing significant snow to PDX and the Willamette Valley. An overrunning event was forecast for the night of Valentine's, but the low went north bringing a southerly surge, a couple days later there was an AR event and highs in the mid-60s.

Chris is not in the eye of the storm! 

How is that storm moving in that direction going to bring wind to Seattle?

I am starting to get February 2019 type vibes about the period beginning in late January. It seems like models are in lock step that is our next chance, and the potential appears to be off the charts. The next few weeks might be a little boring around here, but we should continue to see some rain and stack up the mountain snow. The rain being shown for California during this upcoming period would be a blessing from the GODS. 

Feeling this too

At SLE February 1995 was very warm and dry overall, only 9 days with measurable precip. Over half the precip that month fell on one day when they recorded 2.64" on the 17th. They also had 7 60+ days. 

They officially recorded 3.1" of snow with the arctic event, had a 30/25 day on the 13th and 36/18 on Valentine's Day.

The NWS and all the news talking heads seem to believe it is going to start moving north towards Forks 👀....  Looks like it is on a straight easterly path to me.

It's not. No models have wind for Seattle anymore, I don't know why people are in denial.

ECMWF still shows gusts to 50 mph around King County... it must be related to the open trough that follows the actual storm which is why it doesn't happen until later this evening.

February 1995 was even more of a blow torch for EUG. They also had 3" of snow with the arctic front and a 30/27 day on the 13th, but ended up hitting 72 on the 19th and 71 on the 23rd!!!

Is there another low we can't see...??


Main topic today is how windy will it get later today. Surface low
weakening currently near about 47.6N and 128W. The low will slowly
move east today reaching Cape Flattery around 18z moving into the
Northwest Interior 00z-03z. 

Might be kind of stretched out like on UW-WRF-GFSxslp.05.0000.gif.pagespeed.ic.ByOyQj16AN.webp

Well high wind warning is definitely a bust, especially for me in Bothell.

It’s not forecasted to happen until later today. 

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

The way it is barrelling straight east towards NW Oregon makes it hard to believe it will somehow kinda sorta end up where that map shows it.  Even if it stretches out.

It’s over.

All of the damage and power outages in Corvallis happened in a very short period at 4 am.  Winds are now much lighter by comparison.  SSE winds can surface here much more easily than SW.

Peak gust at my sheltered station of 33 mph is the highest so far in this location (since 2016).

Peak winds corresponded with a brief but rapid pressure rise from the lowest point (29.03") and a sudden temperature drop albeit only slightly more than a degree.  Not much rain happening at the time.

What sort of phenomenon would this be?  Passage of occluded front mixing winds briefly to the surface?

Eugene went from a high of 30F on the 13th to a high of 72F on the 19th. Some serious whiplash.
