By the time advertised ridging shows up (if indeed it does), it will have been a good 2+ weeks of solidly below normal temps and well above average precip.
Healthy spring. Assuming the period of ridging does materialize, 2024 will likely end up as the most balanced overall spring for the region since at least 2013...maybe even 2003.
Has to be overdone, but Saturday is about as cold as a May day could possibly be on the 12z GFS.
2pm temps of 39 in Longview, 41 in Portland and 42 in Tacoma would be beyond absurd.
I’m trying not to focus too hard on the perma ridging being advertised in the long range and remind myself we are still in for a fun weather ride the next week or so.
Between the storm being focused further south and classic Olympic shadowing, looks like Portland will get way more rain than Seattle out of this weekend's system.
Beautiful morning here after pouring rain much of the night. Everything looks so fresh and rain washed. Picked up about 1/3” overnight with temps in the mid-40s. I imagine the northern Oregon Cascades got a good hit of snow.
Currently partly cloudy with puffy clouds around and 50 after a low of 44.
