Christmas decorations beware!

Must be a decent downsloping component. That's usually the case when you are getting in on the strong winds.

[TT-SEA]

Obviously... the cold air damming places on the west side of the I-5 corridor have the best chance and the east wind spots will not do as well.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Here we go!

Yeah it’s gotta be fairly deep to get things this gusty here. Larch has been up around 50 mph so it matches up pretty well.

[TT-SEA]

Here we go!

 

 

That radar site is way too generous with precip... the NWS radar site is more realistic.

Here we go!

 

Everything north of Salem is Virga

West of Corvallis

Corvallis also reported flurries on the 10pm hourly roundup 

[ShawniganLake]

26F here. Brrr

[TT-SEA]

Almost December.

 

It was one of the sunniest Novembers that I can remember.    Some friggin mountain snow would be nice now.  

[TT-SEA]

26F here. Brrr

 

 

All the cold... and no precip.

 

41 here.

West of Corvallis

Snowy!

32*

15* dp Federal Way 

wind light

35* now up North

14 dp

Wind now 4 mph

[TT-SEA]

Friday and Saturday look fairly showery per the 00Z ECMWF.

 

It also shows widespread low to mid 50s with southerly flow... not a good mountain snow producer which sucks.

41 here.

Yea. We just got back from Victoria. Car thermometer said 21F at the south end of the lake. They are very wind sheltered down there.

0z 3km Nam shows a couple inches of snow here tomorrow. In all likelihood it’s overdone as usual. A few flakes in the air seems like a more likely outcome.

The southerly flow later this week is going to feel really warm after this cold, dry period.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Strong cell between Mill City and Salem.

[GHweatherChris]

Soneone is on a roll to tonight.

[TT-SEA]

Strong cell between Mill City and Salem.

 

 

Some strong returns right over Andrew's area.    Might be snowing pretty good up there.

[HighlandExperience]

Heard it is snowing in Salem

What part of downtown seattle is that in?

Took advantage of the cold and dry weather today to check out Upper and Middle Lewis River falls in central Skamania county. Some pretty significant icing on the falls and the river itself.

Absolutely love that area. Didnt get to the upper falls on our first trip there though.

[TT-SEA]

00Z ECMWF is not good a run for mountain snow... late week trough splits and then a ridge builds in again.   Friday and Saturday are the only days with any meaningful precip and its too warm for places like Snoqualmie Summit.

 

Maybe a more consolidated jet stream pattern developing by day 10.    Too far out to count on it happening... but it would be nice.    Always seems to be 7-10 days away

[Jesse]

Absolutely love that area. Didnt get to the upper falls on our first trip there though.

 

It's a really nice walk from the Quartz Creek bridge on road 90 down to Upper Falls. Great old growth forest and you pass another smaller falls called Taitnapum on the way.

 

Lower Falls is actually the only one we didn't see this time, since that area is currently closed for bathroom reconstruction.

SLE reporting light snow. 

[Jesse]

It would be nice to see PDX drop below 40 at some point. At least the dewpoint has been creeping up...

[Timmy Supercell]

West of Corvallis

 

That's some weird looking rain. 

[BLI snowman]

Snowing very lightly throughout the area now

Yeah, light snow out here in Gresham.

Good catch. Light flurries here now.

 

First flakes of 2019-20, in the last few hours of November.

[Blizzard777]

Snowing Tigard!

[MossMan]

Temp has been bouncing all over this evening. Was down to 31 by 5pm, then jumped all the way to 38 by 7pm, then fell off quickly again all the way down to 29 an hour ago, now it’s 32.

[Perturbed Member]

Snowing here as well

[Deweydog]

It snowed less than two days after Thanksgiving. Not bad for an eight week forecast.

 

You’re welcome everybody!

[umadbro]

Started to snow about an hour ago. Stopped. Looks like those where the only flakes I'll see. Temp stayed steady, DP rose almost 3 degrees. Event over. Enjoy window licking for rain.
