BLI snowman Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 I think it will come in early February. Pretty unlikely. February is usually the warmest month of all in these types of winters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcmcgaffey Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 40s at the stations with no wind.. You’re right about the east wind. I was just following up on it saying that it looks to be going over the top of the lower valley areas where the cold is trapped. I guess the cold air is there and trapped because it is sheltered from the east wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighlandExperience Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 And lots of homes at higher elevations that are close enough to commute to Eugene, Salem, or Portland. And the West Valley gets more snow than Seattle I would guess.What are good communities down there you recommend at higher elevation within driving distance of Portland.

Requiem Posted January 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Redding is in Northern California, hundreds of miles north of LA, which is in So Cal. It’s a long state. SoCal is primed for 5-8 inches of rain (conservatively) through the end of this upcoming week. Don't worry, I know Redding isn't in SoCal.

ShawniganLake Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Pattern wise, I suspect (if it succeeds) it will resemble November 2014 out there. If it fails, then it probably takes the February 2015 route. They’re structurally similar, but the minor differences can make all the difference in the world.Yikes. 2015 was a torch fest.

SilverFallsAndrew Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 The east wind is great at keeping PDX from torching in the winter and can bring in some real nice low level cold. Overall though I prefer not to be affected by them as it also works to keep PDX above freezing on quite a few nights.

If its going to get cold and snowy... I wish it would hurry up already. This type of January torch followed by cold and snow later in February caused problems last year. I swear the full leaf out last spring was stunted. The trees were fooled and then punished. The trees seemed less full than normal from the start last year and it certainly was not for a lack of rain... it was the wettest April ever here. I would prefer to have cold and snow in the heart of winter... or at least don't torch in the heart of winter and then turn really cold later.

Overall though I prefer not to be affected by them as it also works to keep PDX above freezing on quite a few nights.The sweet spot is where you can be far enough away from the outflow to not get constantly mixed by it, but still close enough where you can be affected by the generally cooler airmass/low dps/radiational cooling potential/evaporative cooling potential. My current location seems pretty decent for that, but there are even better spots. Places that are in that Goldilocks zone will also tend to lose the wind at night then have it kick back up in the late morning as daytime warming mixes it back down. So you don’t have it messing with your lows but it keeps things nice and brisk during the day. The best of both worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are right on the edge of the inversion so typically it stays clear at night, but then I stay under the effects of the inversion during the day, sometimes with fog moving up out of the valley for a few hours to cap daytime heating. It was how I ended up so cold during the January 2013 inversion fest. But even worked out in January 2017 when I ended up with 13 sub-freezing highs.
