snow_wizard Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Welcome back. I agree with what you're thinking right now. I believe a big regional event in December similar to our last 8/9 Winter. I'm excited in what's ahead for us this Fall and Winter. Very good point about this being an 8-9 winter. It is utterly amazing how good those normally are. 1 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

seattleweatherguy Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 I'm finally back after a very long break! In spite of a considerably hotter summer than I anticipated I'm kind of intrigued by how things are evolving now. Yesterday was the coolest day I've recorded in month of August since I lived here with a 63-47 spread. It's pretty rare that I get totally surprised by the first sub 50 low of the late summer / early autumn, but I did on that one. It's pretty interesting to see the CPC going for cool and mostly dry for the mid range outlooks as well. The thing that has grabbed my attention this season is that in spite of the overall warmth we have had significant cool interludes (especially at the mid and upper levels) on a very regular basis. Everything has been clipperesque or has dropped down from the GOA so moisture has been very limited in spite of some decent upper level height falls at times. In the nutshell I'm expecting a very decent cold snap early in the season this year. It could be a case where several chilly periods will develop eventually culminating in something big. In general I could see abnormal cold snaps developing anywhere in the mid September to late November period. As for the winter I don't know yet. The CFS keeps showing a big Nino, but that is looking iffy for a number of reasons. I will have a lot more insight into ENSO in the coming days.Hey snow_wizard welcome back. I am personally anticipating a more neutral year with a few snows and one of those huge windstorms we get once every 10 years or so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the west overall is going to have an earlier start to the rain and snow season this year, including the PNW. I even think Socal is going to have some decent rains starting sometime in mid or late October. I am not sure of the winter as of yet, as I am basing this wet forecast on the fact that last fall and winter was extremely dry over a good portion of the west and an extremely dry year doesn't usually lead to another extremely dry year the following year.

King County does get short-lived c-zone on Thursday but that is it. Even the trough on day 10 is totally dry on the surface maps. We saw this rain event today coming for over a week. It did end up much less than once shown though.

Camping here has come to a screeching halt, with no fires no charcoal, and smoky conditions, people are just not camping or recreating outside. It’s really shown a difference here this year.

TT-SEA Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 Wait, huh? Only 8 inches? All this time, you’ve been downtrodden over just 2 inches of rain per month? Downtrodden? I just pointed out that May and June were not the desert wasteland here that Oregon was in those months. It was still lush green here on the 4th of July. I will say that May and June were also much more cloudy here as well which helped keep it so green. But most of July and August have been just as dry here as the rest of the region. Did I ever say its been wet here in July and August?
