February Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[wxmet]

You said the Olympics were the problem.   Its actually the Cascades and easterly flow that is the problem when the precip is occurring.

 

 

Thanks for not addressing my points directly. I standby my posts about the Olympics shadowing. What do you standby? The post you made about shadowing not being a problem or the post you made about the Cascades causing a shadowing problem? What a polar opposite state to be in.

Olympics will not be a problem for Seattle today as you thought. That is all.

12Z ECMWF looks like the 00Z run for later next week... warming up as low cuts off to the south.

Bad data input into model.   

[SilverFallsAndrew]

The shadow shown on the 12z Euro is considerably smaller than the one shown on the 00z Euro.

 

Total snowfall through 4PM Saturday.

 

Looks like a good snow dump up here Friday night.

 

Silverton picked up a solid dusting last night. That surprised me.

Heavy snow continues to be reported in Tofino.  Quite amazing because this system looked able to only make light to moderate snowfall.  I guess this shows otherwise.

Here's a good webcam:

Small grainy flakes are falling here ever so lightly.

That could be good for us down here.

Mentioned the in between stuff many times. I am actually tracking and very interested im how this evolves later next week too because we will be home.

Go have drink for me. Did it thunder anymore?

Yeah, this is a very good sign. Looks like this system might have some extra juice to it as it makes its way down here.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

NWS expecting 1-3" totals widespread for Roseburg, Grants Pass, and Medford. 

[bainbridgekid]

Impressive low of 13 this morning in Olympia.

Wow

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

I have a feeling this little wave might be a over performer. That sat loop looks pretty good.

[wxmet]

Nice batch of precipitation showing up on radar:

Just hit 32F after a low of 17F.  Filtered sunshine but snow still hanging in there.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

18z looking much better for Seattle

Not much in the way of snow falling here, even though we're directly under the band.  

 

Just too dry at the moment

For when. I'm always giddy for snow events and cold

[wxmet]

NAM 18z show nice precipitation over the Pugent Sound when the winds veer in from the southwest.  

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Tonight. Snow has shifted east over past runs.

[seattleweatherguy]

18z NAM shows the precip arriving a little sooner into the Central Sound... now around 3-4PM instead of 7PM.

 

Still showing the bulk of the precip to be west of Puget Sound. Snowmizer looks to do good.

This for today

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Wow 18z is so much better. Shows a period of light to moderate snow for most of Puget sound for ten hrs. Trough is further east and looks like it is moving slower.

Matches with what satellite imagery is suggesting. Would affect the evening commute if the NAM is to be believed.

12z on top 18 on bottom.

Hopefully that screw-zone is over the Cascade foothills and not epsl, but it sure looks like the epsl...

[MossMan]

Lookin like snow clouds out there now...

[MossMan]

Man, you really are all about yourself.

Aren’t we all when it comes to snow? In other aspects of my life not at all.

Pretty exciting.  the improvement between the 0z and 12z runs on the Euro was highly encouraging also.  I think the fact the winds have become southerly through the Puget Sound basin is actually very good in this case.   Sets up convergence potential and limits the chances of dry east wind killing the moisture.

Haven’t seen a single flake here.

[snow_wizard]

The EPSL will have a harder time getting useful precip amounts due to drying east wind through the passes.

 

That being said if precip comes in heavier than modeled, it might be enough to overcome the east wind.

 

The Euro showed that won't be an issue and that model is acutely aware of that potential when it's there.

What about now? It's snowing decently now, mostly sideways snow.
