SilverFallsAndrew Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 The CAA has been pretty weak here too. Only bottomed out at 39 here, and PDX has yet to fall below 40. The CAA was actually much more impressive with the late October event. I think if we see decent clearing we should see some chilly lows the next few nights. At least as cold as it got last week...

Jesse Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Hopefully Jesse gets a nice snowstorm today.We had to get back up north before things got too crazy yesterday. There was heavy precip and a rain/snow mix along I-5 from Roseburg to 20 miles north of Eugene, though. Also a gusty NNE headwind. Precip cut off rapidly north of Albany.

The CAA was actually much more impressive with the late October event. We had the temp drop into the mid 30s when the outflow event in late October, only 40 here last night. Winds were actually stronger that time too, 40-45mph E winds. DP was also about 0 degrees that time. So far, that event in late October has been more impressive than this one in terms of wind and temps. Only NE 30-35mph max winds this time and the DP in the mid 20s. Probably will get windier here this afternoon though. 2 Quote Tacoma WA elevation 300’ Monthly rainfall-3.56” Warm season rainfall-11.14” Max temp-88 +80 highs-2 +85 highs-2 +90 highs-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverFallsAndrew Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Too bad December is a lost cause and it's time to look ahead to January now. If December ends up dry it may end up below average. December 2017 was a massive snoozefest for everyone south of PDX, yet ended up like the 15th coldest since 1892 at EUG. January probably could not be worse this year than in 2018 or 19.

SilverFallsAndrew Posted November 27, 2019 Report Share Posted November 27, 2019 Looks like the ensemble mean bottoms out later today around -6.1C at PDX. Not bad for November. Late next week into the weekend is going to trend way cooler on the 12z ensembles. Nothing crazy, but the operational which is way colder, is sort of middle of the pack. Mean down to -3C or so with a lot of members around -4/-5C.
