GFS  has been kind to Washington County for tomorrow, I hope reality will too. Hillsboro area will probably warm up too fast from the southerlies though.

I'd be pleased to get an inch before the changeover. 

 

I'd be pleased with anything from it.  An inch would be awesome. Low standards and all.

Some views of the cabin we’ve been staying at. About 12 miles west of Bend. Definitely getting my snow and cold fix out here.

A lot of thoughts tonight. First the weather. Absolutely gorgeous day in NE Oklahoma today. Awoke to dissipating high clouds and a heavy frost up in Nowata County. Skies completely cleared by mid-morn

2" of light fluffy goodness up here. Today way over performed and I'm happy. I would love to have more, but if not, thrilled to have cold snow again.

There has been so many maps...... I know the HRRR is for very close to game time, but has anybody paid attention to how it has performed this week, this close to other "events"?

It nailed the last 2 nights for here, now I am hoping it starts a southerly trend, current flow on the radar seems promising but likely to change as of now as the warm front starts moving in.

32.7F here and getting the scraps from the showers, have a dusting on the roofs and grass. At least it looks wintery out now and the cold air is finally moving in. Sucks having to wait so long for the cold to inch down here from WA only to lose it all in a day.

Not a surprise. Been watching the radar and Skagit County really seems to be where the heart of the action has been this morning.

 

Nowhere near as much up this way, but enough to double or triple the pathetic amount that fell on Sunday.

It's called clown range for a reason.

12Z ICON keeps the snow north of Everett tonight.   But it did shift south from the last couple runs,

 

You would think the ICON could have a handle on something just 12 hours away.   Maybe not.

 

 

12z icon trending toward the snowy solution for Seattle area.

 

 

Conflicting Reports!  WTF?   :huh:

It has been doing a pretty terrible job up here with this pattern. Even when the radar is lit up it doesn't seem to forecast snow and earlier in the week it was giving me 3-4" and I got nothing. General pattern things it does okay on. Like it will snow somewhere tonight. But location and amount are anyone's guess.

So far this event has been an udder disappoint for me. Low temp of 28... an inch an half of snow and look to continue to get missed coming up due to Olympic Shadowing. This is why we call it the swamp due snow killing East wind, or Olympic mountain shadowing. I have to admit, this is not working out so well for us in Bonney Lake. Thankful I got about an 1.5 inches last night! :) Looks like I might get another inch before it is all over! Yah! :unsure:

I want people's opinion on tomorrow night into Thur.  I have read the AFD.  I know they are reporting on the uncertainty.  

 

The general forecast looks kind of benign, but it seems like the next system tomorrow night looks like heavy snow, or localized flooding in some areas.  Or, both.

 

Thoughts, please.

 

BTW-  Snow just started back up on Bainbridge, near the ferry dock.

 

 

Edit-I see most people think its a no-event.  Kitsap might be a different story though.

      First of all, that article was about more than just the lunch issue - they're trying to pass laws to reduce workers' compensation when injured on the job and reducing unemployment. Second, how does telling people who work they don't need a lunch break being on the side of the worker, as you like to claim to be? The people who wanted the LA law changed were the rich fat cats you sh*t on in previous (and I'm sure future) posts. See what you say about Tim. See what you said about my aunt. You couldn't be more of a fraud if you tried.

      I'm not the one who constantly uses that phrase as if you're the spokesperson of every person who works. Aka a fraud, just like that senate candidate.

      Who cares. He grew up around rural folks and hasn’t forgotten where he came from. I understand you can’t relate to that. To you and other democrats “working people” is code for criminals, welfare recipients, and illegal immigrants. To the rest of us it means people who actually move this nation forward.

      April 2024 Weather in the PNW

      Cloud seeding is a form of public relations to say “at least we’re trying” to end droughts. Throwing some silver iodide in a cloud isn’t going to do anything to a storm that is large enough to produce appreciable precipitation. It might cause a few sprinkles from a cumulus cloud that otherwise wouldn’t have rained. There are also legal ramifications since it had been argued that cloud seeding is a form of theft — you are stealing the water from areas downstream of where you seeded. The ironic thing is that project Stormfury got axed in the late 60s after they seeded a hurricane and it happened to make a left turn to the Eastern seaboard shortly thereafter. It would be funny if this makes them think twice about seeding in the UAE, although it’s a bummer that they didn’t seed this storm (or at least they claim to have not seeded it LOL).
