March 2019 Weather Discussion in the PNW

[Front Ranger]

Tacoma McChord has been 33-34 for the last hour or so with light snow. 

 

According to the Euro, should be in the upper 40s soon!

[FroYoBro]

35 degrees here at noon. Not bad for March. Would have a pretty widespread couple of inches if this was at night!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Jesse]

This place can be so NEGATIVE sometimes!!!

Yup. You play a big role.

It was meant to friggin be! Seriously, this is happening so perfectly at the wrong time. Unbelievable.

[Front Ranger]

Snow starting to accumulate in Lakewood, WA per a friend.

[Deweydog]

Yup. You play a big role.

At least don’t stir things up while it’s SNOWING!!!

[Jesse]

PDX down to 33 at noon. That’s pretty impressive for the time of year.

 

It’s snowing moderately and really trying to amount to something here. The trees and grass are sort of white. But you can tell that even with the cloud cover, increased solar energy is helping melt things at a rate slightly below the rate of accumulation.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I just hope no one enjoys this snow because in 10 days we are going to have highs near 60. Just remember that!

[Jesse]

Given the amount of moisture, I would say this would have equated to a widespread 2” or so in the metro area had this happened at night.

 

Really hoping we can keep decent precip rates around after sunset. Although at that point we may have to depend on showers more than stratiform stuff, and we all know how fun that is.

[Guest CulverJosh]

Calm down El Nina.  We are supposed to get another surge perhaps after dark as the northern low moves onshore.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Snow coming down here but not sticking.

 

What are your thoughts on the warmth in late March showing up on the GFS?

My thoughts are that the GEPS ensembles are in agreement. Looking forward to a sunny, dry and warmer than normal start to spring.

 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Still 33 with light rain. I would assume it’s about 40 up in the Kalapuya range.

[Jesse]

That ship has already sailed. Spring started 6 days ago and it’s been a chilly start. PDX running almost ten degrees below average!

Hopefully it doesn't kill our monthly departures!

Coast range is getting hungry and looking over the menu as we speak.

All good things must come to an end. Mark Nelsen is going to break out the winter fork within the next week. It is time.

[Deweydog]

Little slice of heaven there.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

41 now at Spokane. Spring has sprung!

[TT-SEA]

Little slice of heaven there.

 

 

Dry air holding on.

 

Up to 38 now.   The top of Mt Si is looking a little hazy though so something is falling up there.

 

[Guest CulverJosh]

I remember Mark pulling out the fork earlier in the past. Who wouldve thought he wouldnt have by now on Feb 1st?

[SilverFallsAndrew]

That EPS is ridiculously warm for later in the month. Going to absolutely destroy these negative anomalies. 

[umadbro]

3km NAM says we're just about done. Precip looks to be done before about 7pm tonight. Whatever falls from here on out will be generally light.

[Deweydog]

Models looked pretty darn cold on February 1st.

At least we had cold February numbers!

Pump the brakes, bro. He’s gonna have a John Olerud.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

The end of this month might be so warm it goes back and wipes those out too!

On the flip side wearing a batting helmet in the field is pretty cool!
