bainbridgekid Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 That snow in the Seattle area on the ECMWF comes with temps in the 34-36 degree range. In fact... the 00Z ECMWF shows the temps staying right in that range all night on Friday into Saturday morning.Definitely going to be extremely borderline temperatures with this. Those situations are almost always highly elevation dependent and usually less widespread than models show at this range, regardless of season.

Gradient Keeper Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Pretty sure it was the Russians who started all this not bat soup.From what I know, which isn't much, it started in the Bio-Lab in Wuhan when a horseshoe bat bit one of the workers and the blood was on his arm. I've also heard someone bought all of the lab animals and they were processed for meat in the local markets. Who knows honestly. Oh, and globalization sucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow_wizard Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 Pretty incredible ECMWF run for snow, high temps Friday / Saturday, and low temps Saturday and Sunday nights. Certainly some record stuff if it plays out that way. In the period of record of record SEA has only had sub 40 highs after March 10th two times and they were both in 2002. Prior to 1940 it happened more often, but still quite rare.Going to be fun to see what happens. No doubt being away from Puget Sound and on any kind of hill will really help for snow on Friday and Saturday. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

snow_wizard Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 The big picture looks quite amazing as a general blocking theme is shown to continue for the next two weeks on the EPS.

Front Ranger Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 I was told to never report temps at SEA because they are comically wrong all the time... in every season (not by you). Like 0.4 degrees of complete insanity. Imagine it... a low of 34.8 is really 34.4 without all that UHI heat. Massive difference. Yeah, that's not how it works. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

This years drought is off the charts in some parts of California. Bet ur jealous. I'm rooting for rain down there because I really don't want a Biscuit Fire / Carr Fire / Camp Fire repeat and I'm sure no one does. I think we all know those forests in southern OR and northern CA become absolute tinderboxes during dry years. Of course, CA not re-entering drought after just leaving a major drought is also important. CA snowpack is very low right now and even the southern Oregon basins are drying up.
