Cloud Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Should point out the 6z GFS is showing it’s in the mid-30’s Sunday at 4pm for most of W. WA. Any snowfall would not accumulate under 500’. Temps would then fall rapidly after sunset and hopefully there’s still some moisture left. This is the coldest it’s been in the last few runs and it’s certainly trending colder, it’s a good 3-4 degrees colder compared to 0z run at this hour. Good news. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Meatyorologist Posted January 29, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 A few notes before I head offline: Lots of rain in the short term. Like, several inches outside of rain shadowed regions, but even those areas will score from time to time as precip flow will change in directionSaturday night is pointless unless your name is Tim and you live in foothill bushwhack country where you need oxygen masks to breathe and if you jump you'll get lost in orbit (okay that's hyperbole, but you get my point: 800'+ snow levels)Sunday night colder air behind vortmax will brush by, along with some moisture and upper-level energy. Could be some spotty snow down to sea level, especially in the PSCZ and up in the foothills/on top of hillsSunday/Sun night has been trending colder on GFS, but not by much. Saturday front is also moving ahead in timing at an alarming pace.People who love our microclimates (like me) are in for a treat Sunday/Sunday night. There will undoubtedly be certain places, possibly within the Seattle border, that get snow simply due to elevation while areas just 100 or so feet lower get nothing. 200-300' snow levels during the day, dropping to sea level overnightPossible overrunning event later next week. Too early to get excited for that, but could be some interesting weather.Plenty of potential in the 8-12 day timeframe. Will keep an eye on what models do, but an idea of some Alaskan blocking and a digging trough has proliferated throughout the modelsphere. EPS is promising. Related: this is one of my favorite meteorological pictures I have. It shows Capitol Hill snowcapped like a mountain after some convective snow. The snow level parked itself around 250'. Could this be a common scene around the region Monday morning? 11 Quote Weather stats for MBY Snowfall: -Total snowfall since joining: 50.25" -2018-19: 21" -2019-20: 2.5" -2020-21: 13" -2021-22: 8.75" -2022-23: 5.75" -2023-24*: 0.25" -Most recent snowfall: 0.25”; January 17th, 2024 -Largest snowfall (single storm): 8.5"; February 12-13, 2021 -Largest snow depth: 14"; 1:30am February 12th, 2019 Temperatures: -Warmest: 109F; June 28th, 2021 -Coldest: 13F; December 27th, 2021 -Phreeze Count 2023-24: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 In an extremely wet month like this... it becomes apparent that the WRCC maps underestimate positive anomalies.SEA is at +2.57 and WFO SEA is at +2.11 inches for the month and this maps shows its drier than normal in the Seattle area. That is simply not true for any location in western WA this month. Olympia is now at +6.63 inches. It's comical to see this map show it's pretty close to normal there. I assume this is because its using many sites and just a few of those not recording precip properly will erroneously drag down the anomalies in that area. I am not sure how else to explain it... but its always seemed like these maps underestimate precip anomalies and this month illustrates that more distinctly. There is no debate that its been very wet across all of western WA this month.

VancouverIslandSouth Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Seems like a pretty sharp north-south cutoff on the Tuesday overrunning event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Not really seeing much differences on the 12z for the weekend stuff with the exception of it running 1-2 degrees warmer. It may not mean much but in a marginal event like this one, as it is starting to look like it, the +/- 1 or 2 degrees makes a difference on who gets snow and snow accumulation Sunday night. As such, we are seeing less snow accumulation over Puget Sound this run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
