February Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[Front Ranger]

Nobody said rain in Hawaii is scary.   But we would prefer to not be on the wet side of an island given that we are coming from Seattle.   We want something different than daily rain.   That is usually how vacations work.   

 

You are making something out of nothing just to be a jerk.   I did not even bring up Hawaii tonight.  

 

I'm just messing with ya, dude.

 

Happy V-day Eve!

Euro is faster, harder, deeper, wetter and more expensive than the GFS at 96 hours.

It's looking good in all respects. Ridge is so much better than last night's as well. Can't really draw it up much better.

Euro snowfall maps should be the best yet.

They really do have more fun in Europe.

It's just too bad the models consistently want the block to get eaten out a bit as it progresses... Makes for messy teleconnection.

Euro out to 120 looks great if I'm reading it right

[TT-SEA]

Total snow for main event... Saturday evening through Sunday evening.   There is nothing from Seattle southward until Sunday morning.

Nice to see the arctic front moving up in timing. Usually bodes well for an airmass.

High temperatures on Monday... with 850mb temp at -12C over Seattle and sunshine.

 

[BLI snowman]

February 15-16, 1956 might be a bit of an analog.

[TT-SEA]

12Z ECMWF surface map shows a low of 20 at SEA and 19 at PDX on Tuesday morning.

[snow_wizard]

According to Weatherbell the 850s bottom out at -14 for Seattle.  VERY impressive!

Not looking good for 2018-19...

[snow_wizard]

Another big improvement on the GFS ensemble tonight.  The mean bottoms at -10 now with a good number of cold members all the way to the end of the run.

[HighlandExperience]

Actually less for your area compared to the 12Z run.

Barely still showing 1-2 inch range. Feeling good about that at least
