January 2019 Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[seattleweatherguy]

00z ICON ridge is more amplified. Bitter air nearing Bellingham at Day 5.5

Good sign though we won't beat the Midwest this week. Bring it on!

[Requiem]

GFS up until day one looks very similar to the 18Z.

[Front Ranger]

I watched it, he said snow levels will be down to 1000ft at least but there are 2 models (Euro and FV3?) that show snow to sea level but he is discounting those solutions for now. 

 

2? What about the ICON??

Quite a bit colder than the 12z run. 18z only goes to 120 hours so did not compare.

Yeah. PDX Monday 10 PM down to 18 F

[Requiem]

Too bad these are all wrong. Just checked the first few frames of the Romanian 00z and we are going to be in the upper 50s. Probably not to get peoples hopes up by posting these maps.

 

You're putting words in their mouths! Only the Sherpa Model should and will be posted.

2? What about the ICON?? 

 

Previous ICON wasn't quite there. 

 

12z ICON vs 00z ICON

 

 

 

The difference is pretty dramatic. Mark is a big euro fanboy so I'm pretty sure he will be watching it closely. 

[Esquimalt]

D**n. The icon is showing a low of between 2 and 5 here on Tuesday morning. That would be a cold start

[Gradient Keeper]

NEXT Wednesday morning 14 degrees

00z GFS Day 2

This is getting real! Time to break out this bad boy!

00z GFS Day 3

[Andrew.]

ICON snowmap paints a great big ole dream over the entire NW

 

 

 

[Esquimalt]

Gfs not quite euroized it would appear

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

So far gfs not much change.

I would be okay with that map verifying.

[Requiem]

GFS hasn't changed much, but it hasn't changed for the worse....yet.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Come on GFS...this model war sucks!

Great! Snow everywhere except at my place on the west side of Vancouver

[luvssnow_spokane]

I am only out to hour 90 on tidbits and already looks better than the previous gfs run.

Details will always work themselves out- we just need the pattern to set up.

Das Hasselhoff-Modell wurde heute abend geliefert!

 

[BLI snowman]

GFS is caving.

Day 4

[Timmy]

Arctic air is knocking at hour 102. The gfs is going towards the euro

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

That low of oregon and cal is going to merge north like the icon.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Come on pls

[Deweydog]

Weird pattern.

[Gradient Keeper]

Day 5 CLOSE, but the amplification isn't holding quite as well as the EURO, FV3, ICON

[Andrew.]

All I want is a measly trace of snow that covers the ground for at least a couple hours. Anything more than that and I'll be ecstatic. Early analysis says I maybe get a couple inches up at my place, but with the way this winter has gone I cant trust it yet!

[Timmy]

Weird pattern.

Can’t wait until the polar vortex gets here

[Gradient Keeper]

Arctic air is 204 miles further south than 18z.

[luvssnow_spokane]

GFS PROGRESSION IS LOOKING GOOD- cold air much further south this run

 

PREVIOUS

[MossMan]

I changed my mind, I’m telling my wife now.

[TT-SEA]

So the GFS moved towards the ECMWF... seems like we are set now.      

[Esquimalt]

So the GFS moved towards the ECMWF... seems like we are set now.

So did the GeM

[Jesse]

So the GFS moved towards the ECMWF... seems like we are set now.

 

Might as well be snowing right now at this point.

[Gradient Keeper]

00z GFS Day 6 not yet this run. Nice improvements though.

MUCH closer to the EURO. I'm liking the improvements.
