Jesse Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Yeah, but almost impossible to get through April without almost some warmth. Even April 2008 had some warm weather early in the month if I recall correctly.There was a 2-3 day spike well into the upper 70s that was bookended with cold and rainy weather with highs in the low 50s. I remember that progression well since we were camped on the lower Rogue River during the height of the warmth. Was in the low 80s down there at the warmest. Then there was snow falling in the Siskiyous by the time we headed home. Great trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Even cold springs can have warm ups after cool downs. Thanks to everyone helping to keep Jesse off the virtual ledge.

Jesse Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Didn't PDX get close to 90 in April a few years back?April 2016 got close a few times. Closest thing I’ve seen to April behaving as a summer month. Still didn’t get close to 1926 though, which takes the cake for warmest April ever in the Portland area.

Jesse Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 This is one of those EURO runs where all you can do is wait for the EPS and hope it looks different. At least beyond day five. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverFallsAndrew Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Most signs do not point to an April 2016 redux. Though in the grand scheme of things that would seem to be the least of our worries. We are also coming off back to back cooler than average months for much of the reason. We were not in 2016.

TT-SEA Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 Good news for warm weather fans... the 12Z EPS is way warmer than its last 2 runs at least for later next week. And it looks like the operational run through day 10... long range has not finished yet.

Jesse Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 I was beginning to worry. But that April warm up call is looking good. April could end up even warmer than March at this point.

Jesse Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 The only good thing I can say about things right now is that it seems like the EPS has been following the operational around a lot more than usual lately. Hopefully there is still some room for some big swings in the future, like we saw for this week. There was very good agreement from both the operational Euro and EPS that this week would be dry and mild for several runs last week.

TT-SEA Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 GFS keeps showing the trough carving back west later next week. This has happened many times since last fall and the GFS has led the way with that idea. The ECMWF will turn colder on future runs.
