Really, really lovely cumulonimbus action tonight! I just happened to have my drone in the car and got some solid shots of DT Seattle/Lake Washington/Mercer Island/Bellevue looking north from Skyway. Alas, the focal length of the lens doesn't do the vertical height justice and my WB was off rendering it into semi-gross HDR territory, but still... fun looking weather! It was quite windy- I was flying right at 390 ft and the drone was giving me all sorts of warnings about sustained winds/gusts.
A most incredible snow storm. At times the snowfall rates have been as heavy or slightly heavier than January 2017. Temp 27.5, Dewpoint: 27.1 with gusty east wind and very heavy snow continuing. I'm at 11 1/2" now! UNBELIEVABLE!!!! This pic does no justice at all.
NBM is quite an interesting product! Their weighting algorithm is moderately complex and dynamic, though does has some drawbacks as we saw yesterday. For those who don't know, NBM is an attempt by NOAA to create a super probabilistic forecast model that ingests output from all the models above and outputs forecast guidance for local offices that help them to gauge the relative odds of particular weather outcomes. The 'special sauce' is the post-processing, normalization and weighting that they d
Great news! They already also going forward with the Beaverton In-N-Out location too. I’m guessing once they found out an In-N-Out was opening in Ridgefield they decided to go ahead with the project since it would be less traffic with another PDX location. Now having 3 locations in PDX would be good since all the traffic can be spread out more.
“WASHINGTON COUNTY Ore. (KPTV) - A land use application to open an In-N-Out Burger in Beaverton on Highway 10 was approved Tuesday, according to Washington County.
The proposed In-N-Out location is next door to the Chick-fil-A at Southwest Beaverton Hillsdale Highway and 107th Avenue, and will be a 3,885-square-foot restaurant with a drive-thru and outdoor seating.”

What’s really notable is how routinely they’ve been exceeding guidance by up to 3-4 degrees this spring. I think even Mediterranean Mark only had them at 74 for yesterday.
Took advantage of a weekday off to get a nice Columbia Gorge sampler in yesterday, with a focus on the Little White Salmon area.
