TT-SEA Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 The moon is insanely bright tonight, like a super moon. Anyone else noticing it? Feels like one of those old-fashioned autumns with subfreezing temperatures under the full harvest moon and crystal clear skies and the smell of leaves permeating the air. The foxes calling out from the woods also adds to the autumn demeanor. It was quite cloudy earlier... but just let the dog out and the clouds are now thin and broken and I did notice how bright it was out there. No need at all for the yard light. Very mild night here... no chance of freezing. Still in the mid-50s.

wx_statman Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 I assume those can mean the same thing, or arise via similar conduits? The latter is a result of inverted moisture gradients, often in warm seclusion situations. I haven’t heard the term “barrier jet” used in the literature I’ve read, but I’m not a mesoscale guy either, so what do I know? I'm not overly versed in this stuff either, but those definitely aren't the same thing. A barrier jet forms due to interaction with topography + vertical constraint by an overlying stable column. Air can't rise so its redirected parallel to a mountain range, i.e. south-north in the case of Dec '07. It's an LLJ that essentially functions like a gap wind due to the horizontal + vertical constraints. That explains its strength and persistence during a pressure gradient-driven setup like '07. A sting jet, on the other hand, is entirely driven by cyclogenesis. They're actually pretty rare here, since we don't see classic storm development with well defined WCB, CCB, etc. like you do on the East Coast or in Europe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Rain has not started here yet... 55 degrees out there. Be nice to have the SEA radar now. They don't even update the status. SEA was +5 yesterday after a few days of below normal temps...the rain broke the inversion and it warmed up. Looks like the next few days will continue putting up larger positive departures than the ridgy period... with rain and some 63/53 type days. Yesterday was 60/49 and +5. That ridging sure was a nightmare.

Omegaraptor Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Unusually warm morning for this time of year. 54 in Portland, 58 in Seattle. What’s even weirder is that 58 is Seattle’s high today, and it’s going to drop to 54 in mid-day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So any web site with a radar overlay is only going to be based on the coastal radar and look more sparse over Seattle than reality.

jcmcgaffey Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 I know here in Seattle it has been at least 4 years since a dry Halloween at trick or treat time. It has actually been a pain the last few as it has been a cold windy rain so Halloween has come with meltdowns from our kids (ages 6, 4, and 1). Maybe this year can buck the trend for a few hours in the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
