Jesse Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Looks like PDX hit 40. What’s even more surprising is that BLI did. There must have been some sort of downslope component up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 NWS updated their zone forecast for the EPSL... Friday: Partly sunny, then snow likely in the afternoon. Snow accumulation 1 to 2 inches.Friday Night: Rain and snow. Snow level near 300ft. Snow accumulation 1 to 5 inches. Total snow accumulation 2 to 7 inches. Seems like they are thinking 1-2 inches widespread followed by higher accumulation for any places with elevation. Not too shabby. Nice. Temp leveled off at 35 here. Should be dropping within the hour. Dew point fell to 19. I like tomorrows prospects.

Farmboy Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 They will seem pessimistic regardless of what will actually happen. It's Seattle and it's the NWS office in Seattle... it's practically their job to remain pessimistic because 9 times out of 10 the snow forecast will fall on the sh*tty side rather than a full-blown snowstorm. Such is the nature of our climate here.Maybe they lurk here on the forum, and seeing how worked up Puget Sound people are, decided to be evil, knowing that a 2-7 inch snow forecast for EPSL will bust...

Deweydog Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Sort of an interesting seasonal hybrid. Cold core showers unexpectedly drifting SW off the Cascades in the afternoon reminds me a bit of a spring pattern with a ULL sinking south. Difference being there is a modified arctic airmass overhead right now and the shower was mostly snow.Definitely a whiff of ULL season. Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

jaya Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 12z Euro ensembles look quite snowy for Everett area.Is the bottom graph snow for KPAE. If so, wow that is impressive. Snow levels do look like they will generally stay low for a while, and KPAE is at nearly 600 feet, so it could be interesting. That could be especially true if we get into some convergence zone action! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wx_statman Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Did the same thing here a while ago. Little bit of instability from the surface heating and a very cold air mass aloft I imagine. Definitely a cold airmass overhead when 40 at the surface counts as heating. I don't recall a pattern like this happening anytime in the recent past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pscz1140 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 00z nam a little more generous with moisture and a little colder at the surface so far. It's ripe with potential. Those away from the water, a bit elevated, and/or a little north are probably going to pretty happy if it turns out anything like that. Having said that, it might turn out well even for those who lack those most enviable qualities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luminen Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 That SSW was just what we needed to reset the background state. If this can maintain itself throughout 2018 and into 2019, we'll have an interesting year and one heck of a winter in 18-19 which will obviously be the ten year anniversary of the much beloved 2008-2009 December blast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
