Winterdog Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 It’s obvious on the radar that the moisture moving north of the Olympics is rapidly moving northeasterly upon clearing the east side of the mountains. Not looking good for anywhere south of Randy’s house. Seattle and areas to the south may get in on what rounds the Olympics to the south. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya it’s been hard watching all the heavy snow happen the last few days just north of me. We will definitely get shadowed and north sound will definitely get more snow but we can still have a chance at getting some good amounts.

TT-SEA Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Calm down everyone. The precip will be coming off the Olympics shortly. We have seen this a million times throughout the year but just rain. I think this will be different. The radar often looks like this with an incoming wave along a warm front... and the rain spreads over the region from NW to SE. That happens all the time. This a weak "warm front" lifting north... but as Matt mentioned yesterday its running into arctic air in this situation and that is a unique set up. I think that is the reason for the intense snowfall up north and on the coast. But this is probably not going to spread southeast as usual. Its going to continue feeding in from the coast as the entire band very slowly lifts north. The south winds will be picking up soon and go all night to the south of the band.

MR.SNOWMIZER Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 Olympics will eat everything. I hope I am wrong but that is the sad truth.This is not going to be a problem for south areas because of snow shadow because the flow is just fine it is a precip problem. If there is downslope drying then the precip should never make it to me and it already has got here. 2 Quote We come from the land of the ice and snow.

SEA just switched to S13 at 5 p.m. agreed and good point on the arctic air interaction as I am not sure what that will do. But we have seen this similar storm come in from the west and it starts to fill in a bit around the Olympics but takes a bit and is definitely a lighter precip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was guessing I might hit close to 28f. Fog might be a problem though. Unfortunately it will have warmed above freezing before the moisture moves in.
