October 2018 Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[Jesse]

Decorating for Halloween this year took as as long as it took to change the white porch light bulbs out for orange ones.

I thought you did that when Trump was elected.

The PDO index was finally updated recently, not sure if anyone posted that. 0.18 for August, 0.09 for September.

What about the BLOB index?

Nah...11/26/06 or 2/18/18 repeat would be nice.

Good good good!!! That line can plummet after Thanksgiving.

Good to see you back!! Let's actually go for a Dec 1972 or Jan 1969 type event so we can involve the entire region.

Not sure if it’s quite as black and white as you have been implying. Staying averagish to mild now is no guarantee anything will happen after Thanksgiving.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Partly to mostly cloudy and pleasant here at 67F. Going to hit the low 70s.

[Jesse]

FINALLY clouding up here.

Not sure if it’s quite as black and white as you have been implying. Staying averagish to mild now is no guarantee anything will happen after Thanksgiving.

I guess I would like to just see any cold on the ensembles hold off until the entire region can get it on the goodies. I don't at all think it's a guarantee or even increases the likelihood of anything happening later on. I wouldn't be surprised if we torch til 2020.

A cold anomaly in the hand is worth two in the...

The mushrooms are enjoying this wetness.

[Guest Dome Buster]

All of 1950 would be nice .

Crippling lack of sustained 90 degree weather that summer.

[Phil]

I’m not a fan of the strong ridging being depicted across

eastern Siberia/Asia and the NW-Pacific on the 12z EPS during week two.

 

That pattern shuts down poleward-vertical wave activity fluxes via the NPAC, which would allow the polar vortex to tighten rapidly during the second half of November, which would also stabilize the tropical upper troposphere and weaken the MJO activity.

 

Hopefully it’s a transient pattern that doesn’t last long enough to screw things up. There is reason to believe this is merely a short term intraseasonal excursion, but these patterns can sometimes get locked into constructive interference loops that can perpetuate them beyond their previous cycle period(s). Who knows.

[FroYoBro]

Actually a really nice and warm early afternoon. 

 

Might make the later afternoon hours seem a bit more dynamic. 

[Guest Dome Buster]

Ok. I will be happy with the winter of 1892-93. Some food for thought. Is it remotely possible a winter like that could happen today? If everything were to line up just right?

Cliff Mass and the Blob say no.

Only for 30 days, weirdo.

Squall line?

An April 1893 repeat would be swell.

 

Look it up, Tim.

[Guest Dome Buster]

Cliff Mass and the Blob say no.

Ya, the blob looks ominous but what are the exact temperature anomolies in it? I dont think we know enough to say it will for sure make us warmer this winter.

[Deweydog]

Lawn mowed! Ready for the dry end to a dry month of dryness!

[Perturbed Member]

Rain finally about to hit the metro area. Should be the most impressive front we've seen come through here in a very long time with some strong precip rates.

Low cut height equals less friction for this season’s annual patio furniture blow in!

Nothing for Eugene/Springfield until 1AM or later.

We were debris-free last winter. We're due.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Really typical fall weather on tap. No great signs for the upcoming winter. No massive red flags either. I will soon be releasing my OFFICIAL winter forecast. 

[Blizzard777]

Rain begins and base setup is complete !

[Deweydog]

Sprinkles!

[Blizzard777]

Sprinkles!

Always good on cupcakes !

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Nice looking front. We have the best fronts don't we?!

[BLI snowman]

Nothing for Eugene/Springfield until 1AM or later.

It used to be only snow that screwed you guys.

Yep, but should still drop 0.75 in+ once it hits. Finally starting to get the precip where it is needed the most.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Sitting at 2.61" of rain on the month now. 

[MossMan]

Raining where I am at in Mill Creek.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

It is possible I get up to around average by the end of the month. GFS is showing 3-4" of rain here through the 31st.

Have you had a freize yet?

Hello everyone! Have been a member of the FOX12WeatherBlog for sometime and lurked on here for a while, but I decided to finally make an account and join in on the fun. 

 

The front later today looks juicy, with the possibility for .5-2 inches. Rain is already falling here in Portland.
