Pretty unlikely we actually break it but it looks like we could get somewhat close in the next several days. If there’s any setup that can, it’s a blocky one like this.

Pretty unlikely we actually break it but it looks like we could get somewhat close in the next several days. If there’s any setup that can, it’s a blocky one like this. I've always considered April's record low to be the weakest of any PDX monthly record. Even with today's UHI and warmer climate it's beatable. If I get bored enough during the pandemic I might make a thread on the weakest and strongest monthly records for major PNW stations. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty unlikely we actually break it but it looks like we could get somewhat close in the next several days. If there’s any setup that can, it’s a blocky one like this. I agree that its a pretty weak monthly record, but I don't really see a setup this week that will do it. To get really cold lows at this point in the spring you usually need a shot of cold troughing followed up by a ridge moving in and clearing skies/offshore flow. That's why by this late in the season the coldest mornings are generally followed by relatively warm days. Troughy patterns alone are usually too cloudy and showery at times, which is what I see for this week. I can't see a window for PDX to drop much below freezing, let alone 29. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any area with as much CZ action as Randy’s with higher hills directly to the East enhancing orographic lift is going to see way more rain on average than Portland proper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any area with as much CZ action as Randy’s with higher hills directly to the East enhancing orographic lift is going to see way more rain on average than Portland proper. You don't understand where Randy lives. And it was the same at his old house which was actually west of I-5. The c-zone action is offset by shadowing in SW flow making it very similar to other areas along the I-5 corridor in terms of annual precip. And none of that changes the fact that the areas to the north and east have been perpetually wetter than their average for a long time overall (2019 was the exception). So yeah. It is what it is.

Front Ranger Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Wednesday is probably their best shot at a sub 50 high. Not easy to do at this point without some steady precip. Of course April 1, 1936 had a 37 degree high with 5" of snow. And we've seen accumulating lowland snow in mid April as recently 2008. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

In the Puget Sound area that can make a pretty big difference rain-wise. You’re acting as if he lives at sea level. I am not acting like anything... he lives very close to I-5 which is not at sea level. SW flow shadows that area in big rain events. That is offset by the c-zone precip. And the annual map shows its very similar to other areas in the I-5 corridor. Regardless... the area to the north and east of Seattle has been frequently wetter than whatever the normal happens to be for that area.

I don't care if Randy's house high up in the mountains there averages 200 inches of rain per year. Its still been even wetter than the normal there. Side note - SEA and OLM are both just about 4 inches above normal for the year. That drier than normal area is not real and includes 4 stations with partial data blended in.
