December 2019 Weather Discussion for the PNW

[Guest CulverJosh]

39 degrees with some very light rain coming this way. May seem some flakes mixed in at some point tonight.

 

That would be a Christmas miracle!

December 2017 was awesome in Happy Valley. Although it did provoke me to drink a lot as I love doing that with incoming snow. Kind of pissed my gf (at the time) off, but that was a cool one. Snowed D**n hard for a couple hours.

Bringing garbage and trash back in is becoming an epidemic tonight.

I don’t enjoy snow on Christmas any more than a random Tuesday in February. Is that weird?

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Ensembles still contain some promise within.

Yes.

37/26 here today. Currently down to 34. If we get any precip it may fall as snow, but will probably stay dry.

LMAO. I took my garbage out and sadly I have broken that trend. Apologies. Merry Christmas!

Indeed, 41F on the east side of town.  Oh well.  29 years and counting...

Major improvements on the Euro:

GEM looks very similar:

Shift everything to the right a bit and we will be golden.

Snowing at 1500' in Scappoose.

Christmas is getting off on the right foot - We just found out we are pregnant and will be welcoming our second child into the world next summer!

 

Hoping and praying for a girl so we can be done after this. If it's another boy, we may have to take our chances one more time which I'd rather not have to do. Not sure if I can handle three!

Congratulations Hawk! I was born during the hottest part of the year here, late July/early August. Hopefully your baby will as well. Better yet during a heat wave lol.

Nice!

[Guest CulverJosh]

Dome is killing it right now. Can’t even get a wet Christmas.

[Guest CulverJosh]

Still light flurries here.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

It’s a pretty strong signal for this far out

Yeah especially for an ensemble mean.

My 2 favorite video games growing up. Though I give the slight edge to Mega Man. Loved that game.

[Guest CulverJosh]

So close to being good here, need some lift. 28 degrees and 92% humidity.

[Shawn]

Congrats on your White Christmas!

 

Thanks.  I dont live that high.  Just went for a drive.  Its just up from my house.  Great to see on Christmas Eve.

[Guest CulverJosh]

Love living near a close hill that you can drive up to real quick just for fun. Not something most people get excited about but Im sure most here do.

Very low historical chance of white Christmas. Getting it twice in less than a decade would be a lucky streak.

[Timmy Supercell]

Even Medford has a 2% chance of a white Xmas on any given year according to NWS.

38 and light rain after a 39/31 day. Merry Christmas.

[El_Nina]

Watching the moisture closely. 35

[FroYoBro]

Just some light sprinkles out there.

[Gradient Keeper]

Day 2.5 Trough sliding down BC coast, then through southern BC is even closer to us, heights even lower.

 

 

Past 4 runs. Dang if that trend continues we would see Thursday through the weekend turn chilly.

I was talking about the Milwaukie/Gladstone/OC/some of Clackamas dome. Some of us here lived that garbage including me. It is real.

Light mix here and 34 degrees. The komo radar is showing snow over here but it's just a mix.

Day 7

 

[Gradient Keeper]

Day 8 nope. Day 1-5 though has trended cooler.

39 and light rain here on Bainbridge.

[bainbridgekid]

PV looks extremely strong and expansive at day 8 of the 00z. Cold air doesn't look close to moving South anytime soon if that's correct.

 

[El_Nina]

A sort of mix is trying to fall here. God Bless Portland and happy holidays

[TacomaWaWx]

37 and light rain...wouldn't be surprised to see a few snowflakes tonight.

[Gradient Keeper]

00z GEM much different than the GFS Day 4-6 .... Much flatter ridge and heights lowering in central BC Day 6 and building up west side of the ridge.

 

Day 6
