In the valley where I went to college, the valley floor could get -40’s and even the odd -50 but campus was on a bench up on the side of the valley and never even got all the way to -20. But they got strong drainage winds from the mouth of a nearby canyon, and let me tell you -15 with gale force winds is brisk. Quote It's called clown range for a reason.

Sandy rocks Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 It's really surprising to have so much east wind when it's raining. Why is that? Raining hard here. Will be 50 here tomorrow, otherwise in the 40s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatyorologist Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 North of Green Lake, winds are calm and temperatures are holding in the mid 40s. South of Green Lake, there's a fairly persistent easterly breeze with temperatures in the low 50s. Downtown Seattle is among the warmest spots in the PNW with some 53F readings in there.

Raining hard here. Will be 50 here tomorrow, otherwise in the 40s. Low pressure system offshore driving in the precipitation, and contrasting with higher pressure inland, forming an E-W pressure gradient across the lowlands, and easterlies near the surface. Not our most common type of system but it does happen from time to time, and this winter in particular has had a notable amount of these types of systems. Precip is staying as rain simply because there isn't an Arctic airmass east of the Cascades. Pretty benign air in the 30s at ~3k ft just over the terrain of eastern WA/OR is adiabatically warmed to around 50-55F ish as it is forced west and descended down the foothills. On top of that, the rain falling over your area is causing evaporative cooling, keeping the air in the low 40s even as it descends, instead of a dry adiabatic warming into the 50s. Lowkey kind of a complicated setup. 2 1 Quote Weather stats for MBY Snowfall: -Total snowfall since joining: 50.25" -2018-19: 21" -2019-20: 2.5" -2020-21: 13" -2021-22: 8.75" -2022-23: 5.75" -2023-24*: 0.25" -Most recent snowfall: 0.25”; January 17th, 2024 -Largest snowfall (single storm): 8.5"; February 12-13, 2021 -Largest snow depth: 14"; 1:30am February 12th, 2019 Temperatures: -Warmest: 109F; June 28th, 2021 -Coldest: 13F; December 27th, 2021 -Phreeze Count 2023-24: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
