I still don't understand why Seattle NWS did not advise more strongly on the local coastal flooding.  They worded it as "minor flooding." With such low barometric pressure they should have known that the tides would be significantly higher than predicted.

The NWS has been greatly struggling ever since JAYA left. We just lost to much experience and replaced then with east coast weenies who are not very experienced with our region.

Perfect example of an endogenous cold BC airmass towards the back end of the 12z GFS.

Stable pattern of jet suppression means interior BC can take advantage of the weak solar influence and lack of marine air, as well as the recently built snowpack. Without any Arctic advection, temperatures plummet below 0F. Pretty sick. This can happen to some degree into early February before the sun begins to be a bit too much.

Honestly put me in there as an intern. Not majoring in meteorology or atmospheric sciences but at least I could be overly communicative and try to get the message across in layman terms.

They may be in a rebuilding period where they lost a lot of senior staff and the new people don't have the same experience yet. The question is whether they have a good work environment to retain the new people for decades to come.

Something to note. Because PDX was able to hold onto the gorge influence until this morning they are most likely going to end the month well below average. They are also above average on the month with precip.

I’m not a fan of ‘sting jet’. This is the first I’ve heard of it, isn’t it usually referred to as the (poisonous tail of the) bent back occlusion? Or is that just Cliff Mass’ preferred terminology and since he’s been the wind guru around here for so long that filtered down into the weenie community?

2022-23 Winter:

11/29: .25" + 1" = 1.25" | 11/30: .25"

12/2: .2" + .5" = .7" | 12/3: .2" | 12/4: trace

12/18: .4" | 12/19: .2" + .8" = 1.0" | 12/20: .2 + 1.5" = 1.7

KSEA NWS needs to drop the HWW for the central sound, no way those #'s come close to verifying.

This is now the third bust by NWS KSEA since Thanksgiving 

They really fu** ed up bad on this storm, especially Tacoma to Everett. It's embarrassing.

They actually just increased the maximum gusts to 60 MPH on the latest warning.  Getting breezier here. 581473127_ScreenShot2022-12-27at3_17_24PM.png.ceec60783fcbcdc72a9ffcdb49b8d54f.png

I find it interesting that the point forecast for my location only calls for gusts to 39. This is often the case where the wind speeds/precip amounts in a warning message does not match the point forecast for the location.

Still dead calm in Kent, winds supposed to peak around 7pm. If it doesn't pick up in the next couple of hours, I'd say for sure another bust.

The winds are not coming from the storm that passed to the south... the wind in Seattle will come this evening with the trough passage and arrival of cold air aloft.
