00Z GFS has a 984mb low on Thursday, windstorm anyone?

 

Boring.

Sure! I’ll take a windstorm followed by another arctic blast!

[MossMan]

Very cold air just to our north next weekend...hopefully we can get that to slip south just a tad.

[seattleweatherguy]

Nam still showing that conversion zone for tommrow?

[GHweatherChris]

Olive garden sucks... period.

What, you don't like microwaved Italian food either? My wife loves that place but nothing is fresh at all....

[seattleweatherguy]

Nothing is fresh at olive garden really

But when you’re there.....you’re family.

The worm in the salad was.

Try Carrabba's Italian Grill or Romano's Macaroni Grill...

This may be your best post ever... period.

[MossMan]

Will it be snowing at the Marysville Olive Garden at any point over the next 10 days?

The forum is on fire tonight!!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Yeah, at least people aren't fighting...

[Brennan]

Lots of time for details to come together late in the week. I’m betting models slide cold air much further south than currently shown as we uproche erle negzt weake

[MossMan]

Very true!

[luminen]

Don't jinx it.

 

Eh, shouldn't be a problem. The typical culprits aren't too active at the moment.

I agree, and there doesn’t seem to be any end in sight for the cool to cold air!

[Jesse]

It’s a ways out, but Tuesday is looking like another possible contender for a high in the 30s down here.

Im sorry, your cold air and snow is done for the winter. You've reached your quota. You also should probably check the models yourself rather than depending on others

[snow_wizard]

Totally amazing!  The GFS and ensemble have made a decidedly colder turn for late next week.  The trough digs closer to the coast than previous runs.

[MossMan]

[MossMan]

Down to 33 degrees.

[snow_wizard]

Tuesday morning is a go on the WRF.  Shows an inch or so for many areas.

You’re right. It looks like both the GEFS and GEPS bring the low closer to the coast. That has to be good news, right?

[snow_wizard]

The ICON shows some Fraser outflow commencing later in the week now also.  The surface high complex has a much more favorable look to it vs previous runs.  This cold episode doesn't want to die.

It is.  More chances for the right combo to finally come up for Seattle.

[snow_wizard]

It's going to be fun to run the numbers on this cold snap vs prior ones in this time frame.  The one week and two week average temps could be pretty eye popping.  Many places were right around -10 for this week.

Pretty close per the 00Z ECMWF.

You are not allowed to show maps on a weather forum...everyone is supposed to look at the models themselves and not share or discuss. Direct orders from Arctic Front.

[seattleweatherguy]

So cvg zone gone tommrow?

[snow_wizard]

Looks like SEA ended up at -10.5 for the week.  That is big league cold for this time of year.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Have not been above 38 in a week now.

[snow_wizard]

So cvg zone gone tommrow?

 

It's there, but the details on how it will play out, how long it may last, etc aren't that clear.

[TT-SEA]

So cvg zone gone tommrow?

 

Still there... here is total snow through tomorrow at 10 p.m.

 

[MossMan]

Not allowed to ask those questions...direct orders from Arctic Front.

WRF shows a pretty solid one bouncing between Northern King and Southern Snohomish County most of the day.

 

Borderline temperatures, though. It will take some fairly heavy precip to get sticking snow below 500 feet during the day tomorrow, because temperatures will be in the low 40's outside of any CZ action.

[HighlandExperience]

Not much of a cz

[TT-SEA]

Not much of a cz

 

Its there... it shows up better on the precip map.

 

 

 

I think the reason it does not show up as well on the snow map is the temperatures tomorrow afternoon...
