Omegaraptor Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 Pretty sure its going to end up being wet. Wet for North Bend, dry for the Portland area. I think that’s a pretty safe bet. Fall seems to have more “WA but not OR” rain events because the wet season starts later the farther south you go. Last November was a good example.

Guest daniel1 Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 The models are hinting at another possible offshore block during week two. They still haven't been able to solidify on anything though. Past history of years with significant late Sept / early Oct cold snaps suggest a decent chance of something chilly later in the month. It could also take the 1949 route and torch though. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.If it torches then all bets are off for an epic winter this year.

Phil Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 To summarize my idea again (for what little it’s worth): I’m anticipating a big time arctic express to set up early for the US this year (likely starting Nov 15-20, +/- 5 days). I’m thinking January is the month to watch in the PNW for the big stuff (November could briefly get wild too) while December looks like a dud. I have no idea about February yet..depends on intraseasonal cycle amplitude vs background state and any potential SSW. 1) I think there’s a chance for a legitimate “appetizer” backdoor/continental blast potential in November in the PNW as the behemoth -EPO sets up mid-month, but most of it should slide east. If this month ends up delivering, it might just be a bonus for what’s to come. 2) I do think December will torch in the West, but much of the country from the Rockies eastward could still be in the icebox with a +PNA/Aleutian Low. It looks like a frigid month with a niño flavor in some ways..interesting combo. 3) January is potentially very interesting for the PNW and much of the intermountain West and Northern Plains. There’s a legit shot at a retrogression and high amplitude GOA anticyclone (mid-month?) with a residual anticyclone near Greenland. There could be an obscene amount of cold on our side of the pole at this time (full PV column likely begins to displace into NW Canada). If there’s enough wave amplification..holy sh*t. 4 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontal Snowsquall Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 The new UKMET seasonals look fantastic for the PNW. During the NDJ timeframe, it shows the coldest anomalies/temperatures in the West/PNW for the CONUS. I like our chances to SCORE in the front half of the winter. Less likely of having to wait until February like the previous 2 winters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
