Cascadia_Wx Posted April 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 Had some wet flurries this morning very briefly but that area of showers sort of split apart around SE Clark County.

The cold November that followed definitely felt like something that should have started in mid September to me. Oh well I’ll just blame Tonga because I’m low key mad we’re having another cold spring, even though what we’re seeing right now is well within the envelope of historical norms around here and not even close to matching the warmth we saw last summer, which started pretty much on time but stayed about two months late.

Cascadia_Wx Posted April 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 I thought yesterdays high of 46 at PDX seemed pretty chilly for April, so I did some digging and it looks like it’s tied for 6th place for coldest April highs there. Although granted it’s a ten way tie. It was also their coldest April high in 20 years (since 2003). If they had been just a degree colder it would have put yesterday in a different league altogether though. There have only been five April days in history with a high of 45 or lower there, and the last one was in 1975. 2 Quote Summer grows while Winter goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible you weren’t looking outside when it snowed?

There have only been five April days in history with a high of 45 or lower there, and the last one was in 1975. I’ve been getting in the habit of looking at VUO more as well, since it is less UHI polluted, has a much longer POR (back to 1891) and it is my hometown. They SCORED a high of 45 yesterday, which is tied for 7th coldest April high on record there (14-way tie). Aside from also seeing a high of 45 last year on 4/12, you would have to go all the way back to 4/18/1976 to see another one. This would also be the first time they’ve seen back to back Aprils with highs of 45 or lower since 1975/76. A side note, their all time coldest April high was an impressive 39 set back on 4/1/1936. 4 Quote Summer grows while Winter goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascadia_Wx Posted April 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 Wow, the warm spell pretty much completely collapsed on the 12z Euro. First Euro run to show that. It has by far been the more bullish of the models with the warmth this weekend/early next week. Saturday now looks cool and wet. Looks like Easter Sunday could make a run at 60 in the Portland area if clouds from the system to the north hold off long enough, then it’s back downhill starting Monday. 5 Quote Summer grows while Winter goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think 850mb temps on the 12z GFS ensemble now top out around +4C on Sunday. Which is pretty in line with the operational. A couple days ago the ensemble mean was up above +10C and some operational runs were north of +15C. It got stuck thinking it was the mid 2010s. 1 1 Quote Snowfall Precip 2022-23: 95.0" 2022-23: 17.39" 2021-22: 52.6" 2021-22: 91.46" 2020-21: 12.0" 2020-21: 71.59" 2019-20: 23.5" 2019-20: 58.54" 2018-19: 63.5" 2018-19: 66.33" 2017-18: 30.3" 2017-18: 59.83" 2016-17: 49.2" 2016-17: 97.58" 2015-16: 11.75" 2015-16: 68.67" 2014-15: 3.5" 2013-14: 11.75" 2013-14: 62.30 2012-13: 16.75" 2012-13: 78.45 2011-12: 98.5" 2011-12: 92.67" It's always sunny at Winters Hill!

Skagit Weather Posted April 3, 2023 Report Share Posted April 3, 2023 Here are the updated snowfall maps for WA (and part of OR) and CA for this winter so far (as of April 1). Kind of impressive to see how large of a chunk of the Sierra Nevada has received over 50' (600"). Normally Mt. Baker is the big winner in the lower 48 for snowfall (and it still holds the state record this year at 727"), but a point near Mammoth in California is estimated to have picked up 964" so far this winter. So not quite at Mt. Baker Ski area's annual record (1,140" in '98-99), but close. Of course during that 1998-99 season it was estimated that Mt. Baker itself picked up 1800"+ of snow so the Sierra is nowhere near that value. 6 1 Quote Home Wx Station Stats (Since January 2008): Max Temp: 96.3F (2009) Min Temp: 2.0F (2008) Max Wind Gust: 45 mph (2018, 2021) Wettest Day: 2.34 (11/4/22) Avg Yearly Precip: 37" 10yr Avg Snow: 8.0" Snowfall Totals '08-09: 30" | '09-10: 0.5" | '10-11: 21" | '11-12: 9.5" | '12-13: 0.2" | '13-14: 6.2" | '14-15: 0.0" | '15-16: 0.25"| '16-17: 8.0" | '17-18: 0.9"| '18-19: 11.5" | '19-20: 11" | '20-21: 10.5" | '21-22: 21.75" | '22-23: 10.0" 2023-24: 7.0" (1/17: 3", 1/18: 1.5", 2/26: 0.5", 3/4: 2.0", Flakes: 1/11, 1/16) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
