TT-SEA Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 This setup is unbelievable. The folks at SEA are saying this is unlike any other traces on record at that station. I guess we can now add November 1, 2018 to the depressingly long list of devastating regional floods. Nobody said the rain was unbelievable. I said it rained hard for a couple hours this morning. It did! Its a run-of-the-mill warm conveyor belt set up... with the usual distinct rain shadowing. Just reported what is happening here. And obviously there can be some river flooding in the area even if SEA gets no rain at all. I think you understand the rain shadow.

TT-SEA Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 I post for 2 weeks about the sunshine and warm temps. Then report a period of heavy rain this morning and unusual darkness for a couple hours afterward. And now somehow I said it was record-setting rain and unbelievable and incomprehensible? Where did I say that? Its November being November... as I said. Are we not allowed to report what is happening? How does a couple simple observations (without even an opinion) about the actual weather turn into in all day discussion? Just let it be.

TigerWoodsLibido Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 240 hours is still fantasyland on the Euro. And mid November pretty much is garbage if you're south of Whatcom County or west of Bonneville Dam. And a cold spell in that timeframe is a pretty token achievement in a Nino that lacks any further cold airmasses down the road (2014, 1986, 1977, 1930).We are fukt if it happens before Thanksgiving. God D****T. Honestly, niños have often been a big snoozer in Eugene/Springfield because niño-type backdoor events rarely impact areas south of McMinnville. Like 1997/98 for example.

ShawniganLake Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 There is a tropical connection to the rain here right now. Its been coming up from around Hawaii for the past 4 days. It is also warm and humid by November standards here. Every person in the PNW on this forum would say it was heavy rain here this morning. It was coming down about as hard as it ever does for a couple hours.That would likely be reported as heavy rain up here. Outside of brief convective downpours, 1”/hr type rates are pretty much unheard of around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 The 0.02" washout at OLM confirms this. Justin needs a little lesson in PNW geography and how the rain shadow works with a warm conveyor belt coming in from the W and NW. Heavy rain in some places and almost none in other areas! Reporting conditions at a person's specific location does not change this fact. As a refresher course... here is a post from Cliff Mass from yesterday. The same wet areas got more heavy today and now we have the potential for river flooding. All the while... SEA got almost nothing. Go figure! http://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2018/10/the-olympics-protect-puget-sound-from.html The Olympics Mountains play a critical role in the meteorology of the Puget Sound region and this week it is shielding us from most of the moisture associated with a series of modest atmospheric rivers. But our friends on the western sides of the Olympics and Cascades will not be as lucky with substantial rain expected. During the past several days, the winds aloft have been westerly (from the west), so we have been in the rainshadow of the Olympics, even though a strong, moist flow has approached the region. During the past 72 hrs, while Tacoma to Everett has only gotten around .10 inches, locations on the western slopes of the Cascades have "enjoyed" 2-4 inches of rain, with 1-2 inches on the western side of the coastal mountains.
