wx_statman Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Nice to see this event start to put up some impressive numbers at the surface. The duration of upper level cold is getting pretty crazy. I think we have been on either side of -10c at 850mb since early Monday morning. The -10.5c over SLE on Monday afternoon was really impressive (and we're right back down to -9.5c on the 00z sounding today). I'm pretty sure that was the latest -10c sounding @ 850 since at least the early 1970s. I can access upper air data back to 1973 and I can't find another occurrence of -10c as late as 2/19. Neither Feb 2011 nor March 1989 got that cold at 850hpa over SLE, although 2011 was close at -9.5c and obviously later in the calendar. Feb 1990 & 1993 were both colder but also a few days earlier in the month. Events like March 2002 & 2009 bottomed out at around -9c. March 1, 1976 was -9.3c. Might have to go back to 1971, or maybe even any one of 1951/1955/1957/1960/1962. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bainbridgekid Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Stronger echoes are definitely starting to spread East and fill in from Everett up to about Mt. Vernon. Hopefully they hold together and start sliding South soon to help fill in the Central Sound.

Jbolin Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 This is what gives me confidence. Current radar and what the 18z NAM models said we would see right now. It didn't see the intense moisture developing right now off the SW WA coast. NW flow, it ain't going to happen for the central sound Low is diving SE, no way the associated moisture wraps around that far north.
