TT-SEA Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 37 minutes ago, ShawniganLake said: Just 0.01” of rain here this morning. Supposed to get windy later which will be nice to clear that stagnant damp air out or here. It was 54F with thick fog when I was in town yesterday. People were commenting this past week on how this is the foggiest winter they can remember. 54 and foggy is pretty insane for late December. Much more likely to be in the 30s with fog at this time of year. Its been the opposite out here in terms of fog... almost none. I see the ECMWF is showing a persistent and broad area of east wind starting Saturday night into at least Tuesday so fog should not be an issue then even near the water. Models have also been trending quite a bit drier in that period... particularly out here.

I think we're saying the same thing...the westerly surge immediately follows the frontal passage, so technically you are right that the radar returns are different than a canonical cold front. They are cool features. To me the term "convergence zone" gets thrown around too much, one of these advancing westerly surges isn't really a convergence zone until it stalls out in the central Sound as it has done in the last hour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deweydog Posted December 22, 2023 Report Share Posted December 22, 2023 26 years ago RIGHT NOW this was the 500mb pattern preceding a surprise SNOW event. Memorable not only for the fact that it SNOWED during a supernino but for the fact this was the night we played the Satyricon for the first of two times. I crapped in the same bathroom Kurt Cobain shot up in almost seven years earlier to the day! Once we packed up and were heading home, rain was changing to SNOW and most of Clark County picked up a couple inches with the weak slider, a chilly low level air mass and weak gradients.
