Perturbed Member Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 I can see temps in north Portland are dropping to 34-35 as the low level cold moves in. I'm 38 still to the west and light rain. I see it is now snowing decently downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 BTW, for anyone who can afford it, I’d highly recommend purchasing the RadarScope app. It is, without question, the best radar app in the history of humanity. Not just for the obvious reasons, either. It provides features like the correlation coefficient and specific differential phasing by altitude which allows you to see exactly where the rain/snow line is setting up, down to 0.25km, regardless of terrain (if you know said terrain, since you can adjust the beam angle). Throw in stuff like mPING reports, NWS reports, real-time lightning, stuff like digital VIL, the wife array of radar sites, and SPC/NOAA mesoscale discussions overlayed on the radar map, and it’s a no brainer IMO.

TT-SEA Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Hope that band of moisture making its way west can hold together. Need more snow ❄ Not going to make it. It has stopped which makes sense since the main deformation band is well south of us 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 FWIW, this is good news for at least a more more normal summer *if* it proves to be persistent. Off-equator NE-Pacific cooling (-PMM tendency) right here. Would help tighten the EPAC ITCZ and displace the 4CH to the SE. The SE-Pacific warming is good news too, as is the modest -SIOD tendency (meaningless at this stage, of course). Goes to show how wavebreaking in the extratropics of the winter hemisphere can feed-back on the tropics and subtropics of that hemisphere. Too bad Fred didn’t add a love button. I was going to ask if this sudden pattern shakeup might be modifying our warm season outlook a bit. But I figured we should get through the cold and snow first before looking ahead to spring and summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawniganLake Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Models are suggesting that. It just can’t be too strong—two February’s ago was a beautiful example of what weak to moderate outflow can doYea. I guess.

Perturbed Member Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Temp is dropping quickly at PDX now, reporting snow now. Radar is filling in nicely from my north but I'm at my peak temp of 39 now. Come on cold air. Portland traffic these days, just ridiculous it takes hours to get from Clark county to HIllsboro and even air can't escape it now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Yeah, I don't think the difference between weak Nino and strongly positive neutral is such that it has any tangible impacts on our weather. All that matters for now is that Nino forcing hasn't kicked in to put its usual death stamp on our late winter.Exactly this. The way the low pass ENSO signal yielded to the intraseasonal signal so prolifically back in late October/early November was eerily reminiscent of years like 1987/88 (which had timing differences w/ sub-seasonal dynamics, so not the best month to month analog but still had the quick ENSO fade). But then again, I think this was predictable early on last spring, given the timing + structure of the OKW cycle last spring/summer under the antecedent thermocline/IPWP condition and preceding solar state having still been evident in the thermals at the top of the Hadley Cell/ZWL. Unlike 1987/88, however, we’re not radiatively warming the tropical upper troposphere/upper HC, since we’re not rapidly terminating solar minimum in 2019. Also, QBO/MQI is slower, and IPWP/low pass forcing structure + tendency is already in a pre-niño state where the +QBO may actually help, via the destruction of the intraseasonal cycle going through boreal spring/summer, allowing for the low pass signal to take over. So in some ways, despite the immediate structural wavetrain similarities in the middle latitudes thanks to the residual SSW effects, 2019 is kind of the anti-2018 just in terms of the feedback structure in the tropics. Don’t let the similarities to 2018 fool you. Even if we end up with another cold Arctic spring with a strong TPV and/or frigid late season intrusions into the middle latitudes, this is no 2018. Unlike last year, I think El Niño is a real possibility this year, and it will be a slow, steady march in that direction after the equinox, kind of similar to what happened in 2009, except the QBO is lagging by a bit, and the IO/ATL/WHEM sector isn’t playing by the same rules.
