FroYoBro Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 The precipitation also looks to be getting stronger on the eastside toward the foothills. People over there may do ok with this first band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLI snowman Posted December 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Th hi-res models have been favorable for a switch to snow with this first band. Wet-bulb magic at 925mb can often do the trick, like on 1/3/2016. Will be much harder to see it staying below freezing up there with the subsequent bands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawniganLake Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Haha, to the contrary. I’d been bearish on February, but I’m starting to think there might be a chance for some amplification if the MJO stays active and prevents the NPAC from locking into a -PNA/+EPO regime. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jbolin Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 King 5 is already walking back the snow and now only calling for a dusting at best most places. They claimed to be showing the UW high resolution model but it showed literally nothing for the lowlands... Which even the WRF this morning showed some snow for areas near Olympia. Not sure what's going on thereThat's why you never listen to a paid talking head in front of a camera who knows nothing about our regional climate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crf450ish Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 ‘Twas -3F at my house at 2am this morning. I happened to wake up and check outside for any additional snowfall, there wasn’t any, but the thermometer read below zero for the first time this season. I love it.

Perturbed Member Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Mark Nelsen was hinting at a better chance of snow mixing in overnight here. If that is the case then we are in for it later. The euro seems to have been right with the idea of a double barrel low with pretty much every model this morning showing the same. Might be interesting if the 2nd center of low pressure heading south can slow down or prevent the air aloft from getting warmed as quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 How long this lasts is important, too. There will undoubtedly be a period of PV/+AO strengthening next month. So, we’ll need to find a way to dislodge it. What you actually think will happen is getting pretty hard to follow. I’m not sure if that’s what you are going for. Hard to pin someone down for being wrong when you don’t even fully understand what they are calling for and they are presenting a lot of seemingly conflicting information.
