January 2024 Weather in the PNW (Part II)

[Hyperbolic Trendz]

Down to 37.6 in Gladstone under some heavy (rain only) showers.  Probably won’t get there for this event but it feels great to walk outside and feel winter again with the potential for a new weather memory on the horizon.

RGEM only goes to 84 hours but its way south as well.  

[SouthHillFrosty]

BOOOOOOM!

D**n, was hoping to get something decent here around the Sound

Lots of convection tonight.  It's possible for a little under heavier showers.  

Currently 37, dewpoint 32.  

[umadbro]

Getting some flakes mixing in now. 36.3. Was 38 10 minutes ago.

You are confusing us with 258 hour maps when its actually about to snow in SW WA and NW OR.  

[Doinko]

Mostly snowing now

[umadbro]

Scratch that. Nearly all snow now.

[Mid Valley Duck]

UKMET landfall is Coos Bay but the precip shield is shunted far to the south. My house doesnt even get a half an inch of precip.

[Perturbed Member]

33.8F and sticking to even the roads due to the precip rates. Radar is looking pretty good still. 

[Requiem]

Tichner and Burnside up by Washington Park seems to be all snow on the cams. Looks like Sylvan has also switched over. 

[TT-SEA]

@Deweydog some ironically convenient ground fog plays a big role in tonight's episode helping to provide cover.    Looks like a mild inversion with melting snow.   Or maybe a fog machine on what is actually a sunny day.

[The Winter Warlock]

UW WRF-GFS for Puget Sound tonight.

Now you are literally looking for models with south intentions.

Mark just posted this on Facebook. Looks like the GRAF is gonna track the little low right across south PDX Metro. It’s forecasting gust up to 50 mph from Salem to Aurora. Just to the north will be heavy wet snow. Crazy weather tonight!

No... we talked about this model earlier.   Its a great short range tool.   Way better than the NAM or HRRR.

Don’t know about last few winters but for my area, near Boeing Field we got the short end of the stick last season when it was snowy at the  surrounding areas. We were then treated with a nasty ice storm. 

God we got the shaft so hard last season. Just a bunch of days with snow showers. Maybe one day with a half inch or inch that actually accumulated. 

[Tanis Leach]

TV Stations Compared tonight for PDX.

BIG FAT FLAKES

Devastating trends for the Puget Sound

[Ken in Wood Village]

Last post. Temperature has fallen another degree since I last posted. I'm not going outside again to see what it’s do but I noticed a thunderstorm next to Pacific City. 

[LowerGarfield]

Friend who lives in Seaside, OR is reporting sticking snow.

Based on what I have heard here there probably isn't any snow.

Yeah last winter was a joke. Not a single event over 1 inch.

That small area on the East Side of the Vancouver Island around Nanaimo is gold. Even if the event misses the area by hundred of miles as long as there's Arctic air flowing over the Strait of Georgia there will be at least something there going into a blast. They got a bunch last night too.

[Olive1010]

Snow/Rain got a little weaker
