Karl Bonner Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 OMG... the EPS is showing something different towards the end of the run! The Earth is still spinning! The 00Z also showed progression. A nice abrupt change of season possible this year. Cold weather we've had will make the first 60 degree day feel that much more enchanting.

epiceast Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Good thing the WAA is not orthogonal to the easterlies or we’d be facing a very different situation. The current setup allows the WAA to slide ENE rather than due north. Cold air is able to hold in place longer as a result.Potentially going to reach Warning criteria in Seattle by a hair. This entire event has definitely been over performing as far as hitting populated areas rather than outlying hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 SHORT TERM /TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...A 996mb low center is about100nm off the north coast this afternoon with 2mb/3hr pressure fallsjust off the north coast. There is a warm front over southwestWashington and that extends out to the occluded front off the coastthat wraps around the north part of the low. Pressure gradients areeasterly but will gradually shift to more southerly overnight andmilder air will work into the area tonight. The areas that keep thesnow the longest or have the least chance to turn over to rain havewinter storm warnings while areas that get a transition to rain thatlimits the accumulation have winter weather advisories. The HoodCanal area--especially for Shelton and Hoodsport might very wellkeep the snow going into the night--the wrfgfs shows the area aroundthe south part of Hood Canal to be one of the snowier areas. Also,areas north of Seattle have a chance to keep the snow going tonight.The Seattle metro area should warm up and get slushy after a couplemore inches of snow into the first part of the evening hours andthere have already been spotter reports of rain over on the eastside--perhaps because of some downslope warming off the Cascades. It isentirely possible that some locations with rain see the precipchange over to snow, then back to rain--it will be messy.The precip will change over to showers Tuesday and scattered showerswill taper off Wednesday. Behind this system we will still have alow snow level, probably tapering from near sea level up in Whatcomcounty to around 1000 feet over Southwest Washington. After a breakWednesday afternoon through Thursday morning the next frontal systemwill arrive. That looks like a low snow level situation that shouldnot give the metro area any problems, but could be a good snowproducer for the mountains. **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...

Snowfreak Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Moderate rain here and 33.4. Sadly, the end has come for SE Auburn. Picked up a mere 1" before the change over. This is my absolute LEAST favorite part of a snow event, the cold rain... Hope others are enjoying up to the North as the snow hangs on, may ur cold air hold tight!!

FrozenBites Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Yes - it makes for some interesting weather along 410. You'll get windstorms when no one else gets them, ice storms when the rest of the area is getting snow, and on at least a couple occasions when I have been paying attention, colder outflow from the Green River canyon and snow when everyone else has rain.Thanks for the response. Moved here a year ago. This climate is much more different than Tumwater. Seems this place doesn't hold cold well. Definitely beautiful in the spring.I figured this would be a little snowier climate compared to south but my assumptions failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Mode Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 44 down here! Warmest since the 3rd. So happy that if we can't get the snow, you guys up north can! It really sucks whenever everyone warms up! Just like every snow situation it seems, after waiting all winter for it, asking for it, the general public will be ready for spring after this I bet.

Really surprised Models were pretty adamant that western areas would hold onto air longer with easterly flow. I didn't want to say anything earlier, but it never looked real good for Jim's area...though he was closer to being in the right spot than people just a bit further south.
