[BLI snowman]

18z looks pretty identical to the 12z.

No bueno south of OLM.

12z JMA for this weekend. Looks like a good setup for lots of snow. Arctic air in the Columbia Basin as the system approaches and then it pulls cold air behind it as it moves on through. 

also was the first to sniff a slide off this past Thursday.  yeah it adjusted but it also signalled an arctic outbreak wasn't a region wide slamdunk 

[Weiner Warrior]

Looks like more moisture with artic front

I'm still debating on putting in vacation for Friday and Saturday. I'd rather not get stuck at work. Any thoughts on the ice situation?

This headline is so insanely misleading. I used to work in news media another lifetime ago, and I can't even defend it anymore. For all the grief this forum and some on social media receive for "spreading panic," all of that pales in comparison to things like this from more traditional media sources.

Gonna wait for 00z runs and see how things shake out-- but the north trend is irritating

Hopefully a solution like the 12z Euro control wins out

[SnowWillarrive]

Can someone post the wxbell snowfall map for the 18z 

[Front Ranger]

18z doubling down on northward track. Bummer.

MAIN EVENT

Jokes aside, I really think tomorrow night might actually be it down here in terms of snow. 

Friday-Saturday isn't far from just turning into a ZR to rain event.

Yeah, I figure if the 18z isn't gonna at least throw us a bone relative to the other runs today then this one might be in trouble. The progressive momentum is pretty overwhelming at this point.

I wouldn't bet on it or anything, but it's worth noting models did something very similar in the days before the big February 2021 storm before shifting back south gradually. One can hope!

Very nice!  

Crazy because the precip here has been so light today.   Just some very light non-accumulating snow falling all day with good visibility meaning the cloud deck is not low and precip is not obstructing view of the ridge.

The Border area is going to get a massive snow storm this weekend.

Yeah, the snow corridor is getting narrower with what is looking more and more like a purely low level advection event at best. Still have probably another 24 hours or so before that outcome is confirmed.

[Requiem]

Storm has also been trending wetter 

[Meatyorologist]

All eyes to Saturday for a BIG snowstorm for someone.

[Meatyorologist]

Seattle is about 50 miles too south to stay snow throughout that whole storm train. But there will be some huge surprises. This will wobble a lot.

[Perturbed Member]

18z GRAF 

Hopefully this comes at least close to verifying tomorrow. Throw SLE-PDX a bone. Getting pretty desperate here

And then the general public will blame the National Weather Service for wrongly forecasting a blizzard for Seattle.

[Christensen87]

Yeah, this weekend looks to be a hot mess in general. 

[Deweydog]

Friday night is definitely looking dynamic though. Ridiculous amount of isentropic lift.

Someone will get a Bunch, it is painful to say this but i have a strong feeling this will end up a north of Everett event.
