September 2019 Weather Discussion for the PNW

[Blizzard777]

Lars just declared an end to global warming due to Spokane’s historic snowfall.

Anyone wanna hit Red Robin to celebrate?

And I though I had found proof of Global warming

[ShawniganLake]

Actually, I'm not sure. Could have sworn earlier this year it was announced, but it's still around for now and I can't dig up anything on if/when it will go away.

i thought I read that somewhere too

[TacomaWaWx]

Gfs still has the system dropping out of the NW early next week, still looks good, but not as impressive.

59/34 today here. Perfect weather.

Seems mildly boring if it were January...

[TacomaWaWx]

57/41 day in Tacoma. Should hit the mid to upper 30s tonight..maybe even a light frost on the rooftops.

33/15 with 2" of snow still on the ground if it were January.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

It’s a tough call, but I’m leaning towards midwinter for a cold pattern this year. If I’m right (big if, haha) there’s a decent chance the early part of winter could be fairly ridgy with a quick flip to very cold in January.

 

But again..low confidence for now.

I agree with you that November and even into the early part of December will be ridgy but I think the quick flip to very cold happens during the 2nd week/mid December. Too many analogs/cycles are pointing to December IMHO.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Thank you clouds.

 

F*ck you clouds.

Clouds at night in the warm season and clouds during the day in the cold season would be my preferences.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Very true. It's like it's been finding a way to get cold regardless. Actually beginning with 2006-07 almost every winter has managed some kind of respectable cold. With just a few exceptions.

Well said.

[MossMan]

Sure hope our winter season doesn’t end up like the Miami Dolphins season...

[BLI snowman]

We should tank this season to get a better winter in 2020-21.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

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.

For me, I've always rooted for as much rain and stormy weather from September to mid November. If it's a warm or cold rain doesn't really matter to me. Just as long as it rains. I love extreme weather though so I'd never pass up on the very cold anomalies we just experienced.

I'll drive. Let's all share a Mountain High Mudd Pie!

I would love a 2003=2004 repeat. That was an excellent winter, for sure.

That season did feature early snowfalls in Portland as well, just to show that if this Fall ends up really cool it may not be a bad thing for the rest of winter.

 

I experienced my earliest lowland snow event in Nov 2003 where I used to live in Wash. County. 2 months before the big one we all remember.

October had a couple good t'storms roll through Beaverton. Some of the wildest cold core storms next to the one in 1998 that downed a few trees near my house in Milwaukie.

Early January 04 featured the biggest ice storm I've ever experienced. The icy cold east winds were just relentless.

[TacomaWaWx]

Clearer skies and lighter winds this evening, things are setting up nice for tonight. 54 currently.

January 2012 was pretty bad here in Tacoma that wasn’t a Portland event though. The 2004 event effected Tacoma too if I’m not mistaken, I honestly can’t remember it specifically since I was 5 at the time.

Luckily it stayed all snow up here during that event.

Yeah, about 6" of snow, then maybe 5-6 hours of freezing rain in Tacoma.

 

2012 was much worse, from what I've heard.

[TacomaWaWx]

I was 13 at the time it was a pretty serious ice accumulation with lots of tree damage and 8” of snow at my house.

[TacomaWaWx]

I assume you are talking about 2012, must have been snowy up there in the north interior.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

No wonder there's so many bikini barista coffee shops opening up all across the PNW!

 

I stopped going because the bikinis were getting tinier and tinier and the quality of coffee shittier and shittier. In a few years they will just be nude!

Yep, get me a southern charm burger and 3 beers.And don't forget to get the fries coming first.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Oh man, the southern charm is where it's at!

Give me some brown sugar candied bacon on a burger and I'm a happy man.

Fred meyer has brown sugar bacon in the meat case. Get some and bake it at 375 for 20 minutes and let me know what you think. It is so good you will giggle when you taste it.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

I still prefer a greasy pork sandwich dipped in a ash tray.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Whiskey river BBQ burger from Red Robin sounds delicious right about now.

[TacomaWaWx]

Already down to 49 from 54 two hours ago. No breeze tonight making a big difference.

That’s why you stopped going? Hmmm.......

[Jesse]

Red Robin.

[Requiem]

Red Robin.

 

Yum.

[Jesse]

Yum.

 

Needs more "m"s.

[Omegaraptor]

 

Wow NWS is actually going for below average temps with above average precip for our region.

 

October megaridge incoming?

I’d be more worried if that’s what they were showing for DJF.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

January 2012 was a massive snow event up here. November 2006 was pretty legit too. We can score big time when the arctic air hangs up around Olympia and cold onshore flow is streaming copious moisture inland to the south. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Down to 37. Chilly night out there.

[Jesse]

Today seemed pretty surreal for the last day of September. Bright blue skies but a cool east wind with a high of only 58 here.

[Deweydog]

I’ve been to Red Robin on more than one occasion when it was snowing. Never while it was top tier Arctic blasting though.

Down here on the other hand...

Don't worry, we're good for DJF.
