Frontal Snowsquall Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Total snow just for Friday through Saturday at 10 a.m. I appreciate you always posting maps for us in real time. Especially the EURO maps which are harder to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT-SEA Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 12Z ECMWF shows a total of 14 inches of snow for PDX over the next 9 days... 17 inches in Troutdale. 5 inches in Seattle... although some of that is happening now. **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Euro looked like it wanted to undercut days 8 and 9, but keeps the offshore block strong at day 10. What a great run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Ranger Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 What a great looking Euro run. Especially in light of what is already happening up north today. Hopefully the other models get on board. 12z GFS was pretty lame for the weekend, but the ensembles looked better. Thought I heard rumblings about the GEM looking better this weekend too. Anyone care to verify? Away from computer at the moment.The FV3 was quite snowy for end of the week for a lot of people, with a reinforcing shot of cold. Considering the FV3 and Euro have had the best handle of the pattern to this point, things look very promising. A forum for the end of the world.

Jesse Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Good setup for a FLASH FREEZE. I think that’s the first time that term has been used during this episode of winter weather. Has to be a good sign.Also the first time in a while it could be used to describe actual weather outside of its usual snarky context. Flash freeze would definitely apply to what the Fraser outflow zones saw yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gradient Keeper Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Amazing 12z ECMWF run. Day 4 was nearly identical 500mb pattern as the 12z GEM which was snowy and VERY cold. Another thing to point out is the 00z EPS last night showed that pattern setting up around Day 5.5 to 6 and this run moved timing ahead setting it up Day 4.5 to 5. This is an extremely encouraging sign. Onto 00z! 18z NAM in 36 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairiedog Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 D Well all weather happens during seasons...Dang, how did I miss that point. LOL It just seems that what we are experiencing and the hints the models are showing not sure what their banking on? Climo?There's some warm members showing up but plenty of cold. Just trying to match their thoughts with what I see. http://www.wetterzentrale.de/en/show_diagrams.php?model=gfs&var=2&geoid=135728&lid=ENS&bw= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North_County Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 I was just checking out traffic cams... amazing how little snow there is north of Bellingham. It looks great from Bellingham southward but north of town there is basically no snow and just howling wind. That would suck. Too much outflow and not enough moisture. I know it works in their favor sometimes when its raining in Bellingham and snowing in Lynden. Strong outflow vs. weak outflow. The best snow events in north Whatcom seem to be when the outflow is too weak to turn Bellingham over to snow, but just cold enough to hammer us up here. This event is just too cold and too dry for good snow along the border. We had snow at the leading edge of the outflow, but nothing since the wind really started cranking Sunday afternoon.

Deweydog Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Sharp wind shift line could help a bit with lift.Eh, Kelso is a north wind spot. This reminds me a lot of November 2006. I had to drive north early that Monday morning and I hit a wall of northerlies around Kalama. They were absolutely screaming between Kelso to just south of Castle Rock. Never really materialized at all to the south. Maybe this time will be different... My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLI snowman Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Northerlies look like they develop around 9-10am down here. It'll be a slow process.
