January 2019 Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[Brian_in_Leavenworth]

Euro has been inconsistent in the medium range.  Yesterday's 12Z was pretty wet with a lot of mountian snow, last night was pretty dry, today's is being back to being wet with good mountain snow.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

It's ridiculous. What interesting weather have we seen this winter except 1/6/19 so far?

Again, this is the new normal. It didn’t used to be this way before like 1995 but it is now. We just have to take what we can get or find a way to head just a few clicks east if you can one day.

Ask the people in North Puget Sound if they had any interesting weather.  I am sure they will respond, that is if they have had their power restored after the biggest windstorm in more than 10 years.

 

But it is an El Nino year, whether it becomes official or not, so you can't realistically expect anything that interesting.

 

Perhaps I should have asked whether the Willamette Valley got any interesting weather. Would have gladly taken that windstorm.

[Jesse]

Wow PDX getting warmer than I expected today. Up to 51 here as well.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Spent some serious time researching tree's in Maryland and how big they can get. This is Acually the largest tree ever grown in Maryland.

[Jesse]

Any pretty ten day Euro maps this afternoon?

Almost as tall as a Seattle snowdrift. Lol.

[Phil]

^^Sorry. Probably not a good time for such jokes.

That's being very generous

We have been outside for the last 2 or 3 hours... will post them when we go in for lunch if someone has not already.

I don't see why anyone would be upset by that.

[BLI snowman]

Either the wind is wreaking havoc or something may be off with SEA's thermometer. The last 24 hours there look extremely stupid, especially compared to Boeing Field.

I don’t know, I guess I feel guilty for being over-bullish on the early January period, only to watch nature find yet another new way to screw you guys while the rest of the northern hemisphere scores.

 

As shocking as it might sound, I do have some degree of empathy. You guys are due.

East wind reaches there and then it switches to the west or south and then back to east then it dies again.

[Jesse]

Looks like PDX is joining in on the torch party today. Not how I envisioned things progressing for this dry period.

[TT-SEA]

SEA is disappointingly cool today... only 51 there while its 58 here.

[Gradient Keeper]

12z GFS, GEM, ECMWF

Rather interesting progression Days 8+ on all models. Hmmm.... Cautiously optimistic.

 

00z GFS in 5 hours 39 minutes

[TT-SEA]

SE wind returns for a little while at SEA and suddenly its 57 there.

I don't know if I missed it, but what were your thoughts on the 1/6 windstorm last week? Did it behave according to expectation? 

[TT-SEA]

12Z ECMWF definitely wetter in the 8-10 day period.

 

Here is the 10-day precip totals... maybe 2+ inches for the lowlands.

Uhhh....

[TT-SEA]

12Z EPS for the 10-15 day period... not much improvement here.

 

 

[El_Nina]

Feels like it's about 60 in Sandy right now.

[TT-SEA]

SEA up to 59 on the hour.

[Requiem]

Uhhh....

 

Hmm?

PDX down to 53. Peaked at 52 here but down to 50 now. Hopefully a little cooler the next few days as the east side cold pool gets more established.

[Deweydog]

Breezy in Washougal!

Can’t we hire one of the NFL chain crew folks with the signal pole ( with built in auto update software linked to the world of navigation ) to follow the magnetic North pole? We would then have constant updates to our navigation system ....If the North Pole moves more then 10 yards it’s a first down too!

It’s the new normal. Been trending this way since the mid-90s.

Wait, what?

that was incredibly FUNNY

[Blizzard777]

High of 53*

52* and zero wind for us

Lovely day once again

[MossMan]

Just got done blowing the roof off, I don’t know the temp but I am sweating and should have brought my shorts!! Feels like 65!

Fred really needs to add that downvote feature.

 

I know. Wish it was more clear when people disagreed with something someone else posted.

Wait for the inevitable link to climate change...

What could possess you to expect differently?

Gorge winds.
