October 2019 Weather Discussion for the PNW

[GHweatherChris]

3.4

[Chewbacca Defense]

I can pull it up with my profile. I searched while logged in and logged out. No luck. We'll see what happens tomorrow.

When I set mine up it took a while (day?  maybe a couple of days?) before I could pull it up.  I think they want to make sure new stations are reporting reliable data.

 

My old weather station would report very inaccurate temps at times in the summer, and wunderground would take it off the list of stations for my area, and I would have a flag on my profile about bad data....

[Phil]

I know. Maybe you should educate the CPC?

Then have you only referred to the ONI/SSTs? What about the driving mechanisms behind said SSTs?

Finally cold enough at 40º degrees to pull the fan out of the window.

 

 

Got my AC blasting here.

 

Down to 35 already.

[Deweydog]

Chilly out!

[TigerWoodsLibido]

40F in Springfield. Should see some mid 30s. Wind out of the south.

[Jesse]

Car is already icy here. Down to 36.

[ShawniganLake]

38f here. But it was cloudy and raining only about an hour ago, so obviously that isn’t ideal for a cold night

Arctic front still hung up there.

Incredibly, Spokane is getting plastered with snow again.

 

Looks like at least a couple inches so far. 

 

 

The only other time in their history that they've had measurable snow in the first half of October was 10/12/2001 when 0.7" fell. And this is now coming in a year where they've already seen their 2nd earliest snow event on record.

[ShawniganLake]

Arctic front still hung up there.

NE winds and instability off the strait of Georgia. Those would be strait effect flurries a month from now. There were some impressive buildups right around sunset. Looked pretty cool

[Tyler Mode]

30 degrees this morning, coldest for so early in the season for me.  2nd earliest freeze, behind the freeze on the first of this month.

[TT-SEA]

Must have stayed cloudy for most of the night... 36 here and 40 at SEA.    

[High Desert Mat?]

Huh? Abcbbd...

The east coast family?

[MossMan]

My deck flash froze and my dogs were not expecting that as I let them out this morning. Loss of traction all over the place! 31 degrees currently.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Didn’t make it below 38F here. Business as usual.

Nelsen is great. Been a little while since he was completely and utterly wrong (January 11, 2017 was the last big one, but everyone was wrong then). Not to say that he's perfect, but he's my favorite met.

Mark's my favorite as well but Steve Pierce is a close second. Also like Rod Hill.

[Omegaraptor]

30°F at HIO this morning.

[GHweatherChris]

31 and frosty.

[Front Ranger]

Must have stayed cloudy for most of the night... 36 here and 40 at SEA.    

 

 

SEA has been clear the past few hours, and they've hit at least 39. Any time SEA falls into the 30s the first half of October these days, that's a minor miracle. Record low from yesterday was 39.

[Omegaraptor]

Wunderground map is suggesting some seriously chilly lows around La Pine and the Fort Rock-Christmas Valley Basin.

 

The real action in SE OR will come tomorrow. 10°F low forecast in Burns.

[Front Ranger]

Looks like OLM has hit 27, breaking the record of 28 from 1985.

 

Shelton has also dropped to at least 27, also a record.

[jcmcgaffey]

 

SEA has been clear the past few hours, and they've hit at least 39. Any time SEA falls into the 30s the first half of October these days, that's a minor miracle. Record low from yesterday was 39.

ya got to 34 here and I am in the city of Seattle, although I am in a bit of a small valley which tends to have lower temps.

[TT-SEA]

Low clouds are breaking up here just as the sun is rising.

[ShawniganLake]

Clear skies a little frosty with a low of 33F

[TacomaWaWx]

Hit 40 last night. Probably will be colder tomorrow morning and maybe even Friday morning as well. Rain last night and cloud cover wasn’t ideal for a frosty morning here.

[MossMan]

Currently 30.4 after a low of 30.2.

[TacomaWaWx]

After yesterday’s rain we’re at 0.20” for October. Probably will be it until next week. Beautiful morning I will enjoy these sunny cool days coming up. I think there’s a better chance for frost here tomorrow morning.

[Guest CulverJosh]

Some of you guys use the term "flash freeze" way too loosely, lol. This isn't The Day After Tomorrow.

I’m at exactly 1 inch so far this month. Around 7” since the 7th of September.

You had to be here to experience it last night...It was epic.

Shouldn’t you be changing your name again soon?

[TacomaWaWx]

I’ve had 3.04” since September 1st less than half of that. I gotta move to the foothills to see some more interesting weather Tacoma’s not cutting it. You even saw snowflakes yesterday lol.

I usually just assume people are being a bit sarcastic when they use that term in the western lowlands.

[Jesse]

Made it down to a frosty 34 here before fog and low clouds built in.

 

Should be a good set up for a hard freeze tonight with drier air in place.

Time to trend East! Or North! Or Northeast!

I don’t think I’ve ever heard a use of that term here that wasn’t sarcastic. Maybe from Jim.
