September 2019 Weather Discussion for the PNW

[wx_statman]

There’s an outside chance they could do it tonight. They only have ten degrees to fall. But yeah it’s hard to picture with all of the cloud cover and light rain around this evening.

 

The real moonshot will be to do it tomorrow night before 1:00 AM standard....

[Jesse]

Probably an unpopular opinion here, but I'm siding with Tim. It should be relatively warm and mostly dry this time of year. All of the mountain snow will melt out before winter. I'm done with this cold and rainy white. It shouldn't happen until November.

Matt’s gonna tell you to sit in a corner now.

The garbage disposal is clogged AGAIN up here. I left you three voice mails and NO response. I realize your mind is occupied by this weekend’s trough but landlords still have responsibilities. Thanks in advance.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Still coming down good. Would be several inches in Dec.

[TacomaWaWx]

Wind was coming out of the NE and the temp was 51 with a DP of 43 at 8:15pm. Straight E wind now with a DP of 34 and 50 degrees. RH dropped from 77% to 54% in that time as well, definitely some drier air moving in.

[Jesse]

Lots of clearing to the north here. I see stars ️.

[Jesse]

Scappoose and Kelso both down to 43 with clear skies.

[Deweydog]

Flash freeze with a lot of wet streets out there...

[SilverFallsAndrew]

In December we'd be getting 2-3" an hour snowfall rates right now...

[MossMan]

43 degrees. DP 39 currently.

[Dave]

I usually don't turn on the heat until late October, but at 63 degrees I'm somewhat tempted.

[Deweydog]

We were down to 60 this morning but there was a little help.

[GHweatherChris]

Clear and 39 here, wife is mad the heat can't come on yet. I told her 10/1 at the absolute earliest.

Should make her sleep naked on the porch just for asking.

I did present the idea, she threatened with death.

[Dave]

Found a thick sweatshirt. I will probably survive.

[Deweydog]

If I’ve gotta go I’d rather it be during a trough like this.

As long as it's not wet, she should be comfortable.

[Requiem]

Oh boy, the 00Z is chilly in the long range.

 

Nice front at 240 hours like last run, but more importantly it's cold and great for mountain snow.

 

[MossMan]

My fireplace is on.

[TacomaWaWx]

Impressive gfs run. October might be another interesting month.

[snow_wizard]

Down to 44 here now and falling steadily.  No doubt tonight's GFS is good if you want below normal temperatures.  I am a huge fan of cold weather in October.  Should be a shot at some blazing fall color this year.

Ski resorts open by Halloween???

Gonna not reply with initial thought, we got a youngin(s) on the forum.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Crazy weather change over there in chesaw. 7 days ago it was 75 for a high when I was up there and yesterday I had a 33 29 day. 42 degree drop for the high.

[smerfylicious]

If that run verifies, and this winter follows a similar pattern, Mt Baker may attempt to make a run at their own world record.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

For that to happen we need weeks of cold onshore flow not the pattern we just had.

Temps only dropped 3 degrees in the last 5 hours here. Down to 50, Main thing is the DP dropped 12 degrees and an increase in E winds.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Persistent band still stalled from Cottage Grove to Salem. Can this pls happen in 2-4 months.

[FroYoBro]

Skies are really clearing out right now. We will see if the wind dies down enough to get some frost in the morning. 

[Omegaraptor]

HIO is already down to 42.

[Dave]

Yep, if this happened in late December or January, we'd probably be looking at a foot of snow. Even though I missed the February event, I was fortunate enough to experience a couple of 12" plus events. I grew up in the south hills at 910'.

[Jesse]

Scappoose has already been as low as 39 this evening. That area always seems to be really good at clearing out and decoupling.

 

Down to 44 here with lots of clearing. PDX hanging tough at 49, but at least it looks like they have finally cleared out.

[Omegaraptor]

Solar minimum.

 

UHI.

[Jesse]

Solar minimum.

 

UHI.

Inane cold.

 

Dry eyes and nose.

[Deweydog]

Does it make me a bad person that I enjoy what happens to Gwyneth Paltrow at the end of Seven?

[Deweydog]

Clippermania!

[ShawniganLake]

Long range euro looks like a train wreck

[Deweydog]

Warmest Thanksgiving on record?
