TT-SEA Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 ECMWF shows it stays basically dry down here until Friday morning... and the low clouds don't come back until then either except for the far northern areas like Vancouver Island and up around Bellingham and SW BC. The clouds over the next 3 days are just at the mid and high level down here with maybe some filtered sun at times. 1 1 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubus Leucodermis Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 Given that the models I was looking at forecast amounts down to 0.2 cm (which is basically just a skiff), and how only a few outliers showed anything as far south as Seattle, I would say that yes, the models missed this one for the Seattle metro area. 5 Quote It's called clown range for a reason.

The south Sound area is actually doing better than places to the north of there. The east side of Seattle and up through Everett/Marysville looks pretty much dry. The models were very close... but I think slightly higher dewpoints helped out in SW King County and northern Pierce County in terms of precip reaching the ground.

snow_wizard Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 The GFS keeps the MJO wave quite a bit stronger than the ECMWF. If the GFS is right we should do fine next month.
