They don't look that bad when they are mounted up there.

Unfortunately, when coming down the street, there is a big clearing next to my house and as a result it is very prominent, especially the location where I would mount the station.  My neighbor is very close on the opposite side, I would be worried about the temperature being influenced by having both houses in  such close proximity.  

Not a hill I really want to die on for an "all in one" station, if for no other reason than it would be such a PITA to service.  It takes 2 ladders to get up on that part of the roof.   If I ever get to a point of getting a Davis, I think it would be an easy argument for just an anemometer up there.

Beautiful peak, and a little past fall colors along with dramatic skies tonight over Battle Ground.

[SunAndSnow]

1.32” with this round. Cleared off and got a nice sunset. 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

59F with the occasional heavier rain but mostly just sprinkles for now.

[Doinko]

The suburban sprawl up there has just gotten awful.

[RentonHill]

i feel like we were staring at this pattern for the entire winter last year. 

[Gradient Keeper]

Are we model riding tonight, or should I just post the usual re-caps?

54F and cool. 

What a Huskies game. Wonderful evening to finally unwind on the porch  

[The Blob]

Last sunny drive into work for a while.

[LowerGarfield]

Not for Seattle. It was rather mild and turned quite wet mid-month onward. A few chilly days to end the month.

Average high: 49.6. Rainfall: 7.98"

[Gradient Keeper]

The system offshore for Sunday and Monday looks even more potent than today's!

[FroYoBro]

Thank Jesus and George Washington that we get earlier model runs starting tomorrow.

[jcmcgaffey]

Pretty impressive rain totals around Brookings. Some places got over 7” today. 

[Gradient Keeper]

GFS Op run quite different. I'll post the re-cap shortly.

We were east of Woodland today and there some nice pockets of brilliant colors.

[Cold Snap]

0.73” of rain today and a high of 61.

[Chewbacca Defense]

Sweet Jebus we got hit with a heavy cell earlier this evening, went from .58" to .95" in 15 minutes, with the calculated rate being 1.6" per hour at one point during the downpour.  My wife and I were kicking back and enjoying a dram of Macallan scotch when we started hearing a roar outside.  We looked at each other, looked at our glasses (we had just started drinking on them), looked at each other then finally looked outside and realized the rain was causing the roar LOL! 

I got up to turn on the porch light, watched outside for about 20 seconds and came back and sat down.  In that 45 seconds we went from .68"to .74".  I kept watching weather station display display, it was counting up at an unbelievable rate, it seemed like it was ticking up every 10-15 seconds or so.

Once all was said and done, we are now at .99" for the day.  Temp was down to 52 after a high of 62.

Probably the cell that was modeled to come down here by the 3km NAM and the Euro, but never got down here. Ended up with 0.32" on the day and a high of 64F.

Europe still uses the old dates for spring forward and fall back so I'm not sure if GW deserves that praise.

Lots of lightning over southern Vancouver Island.

Mom in law’s is broken so we’re headed here today! This commercial led to a pretty sh*t winter…

The 00Z Euro looked a little interesting for the extended forecast. With cooler temperatures 🌧

This post is very interesting for the Portland area. I recommend watching this because there is a chance of having a tornado in our area.

Could be an interesting latter half of the month. GFS does a lot of footsy with split flow possibilities…

[Ken in Wood Village]

This storm is very dynamic. Look at all the lightning strikes right now

[RentonHill]
