Popular Post Jesse Posted November 24, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 I don't participate in cheerleading... that is for sure. I think its silly. Good god dude. You do NOTHING but cheerlead for dry, warm and sunny weather. Every season. All the time. 50,000 posts worth. More than anyone else here cheerleads for any other type of weather. Hypocrite. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontal Snowsquall Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Have I mentioned how much I love my area...during marginal snow level situations I am in a good spot at around 550’ but if the SL is just above that all I need to to is walk up to my neighbors property and enjoy sticking snow at 700’. Walked up there this morning to get an exact elevation. Last March after an overnight big snow the temps warmed a bit and snow was melting off of the trees with a rain/snow falling at my house, walked up to my neighbors to grab their tractor to plow out my driveway and it was still solidly below freezing with all snow falling and nothing coming off of the trees. Love this place!!I live around the same elevation but nowhere near as good as you do for snow. You got a nice spot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT-SEA Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Spot on. Yeah... I can point to lots of things people have done over the years. Consistently so. You also don't see me doing things that I used to do... like riding Jim. Its been 4 years and counting since I did that. Treat people with respect... most everyone on here is way too emotional about weather.

Gradient Keeper Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 So...uh....moving on, my interest has been peaked by that strong gradient potential. Which is strange, because NWS seems to only be decreasing windspeeds. (This is for the coming Tuesday, correct?)Yes. I posted this in my FB group earlier this morning 12z MM5-NAM ....Possible damaging downslope wind storm.... This morning's run shows a massive OTH-GEG gradient of -30mb setting up late Tuesday evening. General criteria for a downsloping east-northeast wind storm is around -22mb to -24mb. This absolutely shatters that! The image below is for 10 PM Tuesday. A strong, compact 979mb moves onshore just north of Brookings near Gold Beach. Forecast barometric Pressure at North Bend falls to 985mb meanwhile Spokane sits at 1015mb as higher pressure is building into Eastern Washington. Winds ramp up quickly late Tuesday afternoon into the evening. The 12km Sounding over PDX for 4 AM Wednesday shows a stout 50-60kts aloft. These are the strongest easterly winds I've ever seen on any NAM sounding. If models do not back off on this scenario I think we'll see the NWS start to highlight this as well as the concerns for very strong winds for PDX metro, Clark County and Foothills. I would be even more concerned if the cold air were to thicken up more quickly up against the east slopes of the Washington Cascades. This is something we need to keep a close eye on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 I would love to see some mountain snow. So yeah... not trolling. Not everything has to be about massive arctic outbreaks and lowland snow. I know you do, but I also know you know the potential that pattern has with a few realistic minor changes. The fact that you would take it at face value when it’s 10 days out only if it contradicts the masses makes it trolling. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Getting some sunbreaks here now, 48 degrees. Picked up around .10' overnight. Looking forward to some possible weather action coming up over the next week. Pretty impressed with how cold the outflow looks like it could be, starting Thanksgiving day and moving into the weekend. Could definitely picture PDX scoring its first sub-40 high of the season at some point in there. Maybe a couple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dry weather is nice when it happens. I assumed that I would like this winter no matter what happens... since it would likely be blocky. And its playing out even drier than I assumed.

This morning's run shows a massive OTH-GEG gradient of -30mb setting up late Tuesday evening. General criteria for a downsloping east-northeast wind storm is around -22mb to -24mb. This absolutely shatters that! The image below is for 10 PM Tuesday. A strong, compact 979mb moves onshore just north of Brookings near Gold Beach. Forecast barometric Pressure at North Bend falls to 985mb meanwhile Spokane sits at 1015mb as higher pressure is building into Eastern Washington. Winds ramp up quickly late Tuesday afternoon into the evening. The 12km Sounding over PDX for 4 AM Wednesday shows a stout 50-60kts aloft. These are the strongest easterly winds I've ever seen on any NAM sounding. If models do not back off on this scenario I think we'll see the NWS start to highlight this as well as the concerns for very strong winds for PDX metro, Clark County and Foothills. I would be even more concerned if the cold air were to thicken up more quickly up against the east slopes of the Washington Cascades. This is something we need to keep a close eye on.
