snow_wizard Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I think the NWS is going to bust on the call for widespread snowfall for the entire central Puget Sound area. It's quite a bit colder here than most places and I'm not expecting anything to stick even here. I would love to be wrong, but the cold is very shallow. During the brief snow showers I had earlier there were periods where it turned to sleet. The only place I would consider to have a good chance for accumulating snow is the interior from about Everett northward. This is a strange enough situation that it could surprise me I suppose.

snow_wizard Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 So with the east flow you dont think the canal will see snow? I am not sure myself. I have yet to see any sign of cold air on the west side of Puget Sound. Good precip intensity and a little bit tighter pressure gradients could do it. It is VERY rare to have much of a shot at snow at all considering what the 850s are right now. The very cold low level air seeping in from central Washington is pretty impressive considering the fairly warm mid levels (and even lower mid levels). I would call the chances of lowland snow south of the King / Pierce County line east of Puget Sound to be nearly zero. The outflow zone that I'm in will be the southern boundary of any real chance at all. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

snow_wizard Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I am 100% impressed with the scope of the cold air that has overspread all of central and eastern WA and has begun to seep through the passes. Lester is currently at 24 with a dp of 14. That town is at 1600 feet and is probably about 25 to 30 miles east of here. The outflow wind that blows through here comes from that area. I have also noticed that pretty much everywhere from Puget Sound eastward is at their current lows for the day now. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

I'm not terribly hopeful but there is a chance. I am not sure what any of these surprises are... the models showed the coldest air today with light precip being shown for the last 5 days on each run of the GFS and ECMWF for today. What did people think was going to happen? Some light snow or sleet mixed in was a given. Obviously Bellingham has always been in the best spot. There has been nothing really accumulating south of there.

snow_wizard Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Has southwest or south east winds taken over 38 here now,. Light rain I wouldn't worry about that. The general winds are E to NE down to just north of Olympia according to the current observation map. The colder temps that temporarily hit some places were caused by evaporative cooling. If the precip hits later tonight that effect will take place again. It's also possible a weak disturbance could increase the E to NE winds a bit ahead of it. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!
