There’s a good chance you get over a foot.

Starting to get a little stormy out there with some heavier rain. Still a very cold 50 degrees.

Let's see if this happens

If we got a little snow overnight I would feel a bit more confident in this weekend.

How do you fare with chilly moist southwest onshore flow? Any terrain blockage to your SW? Regardless, I'm sure you'll be the big winner here. Hopefully you don't lose power.

Southwest onshore flow is the absolute best for my location. The moisture trains right up the south Salem and waldo

hills. NW flow is the absolute worst, which is why Monday was essentially a non event.

00Z GEM through Monday.   We will be able to either praise or mock the Canadians by then depending on how this plays out because it's so different than the American made GFS.

Above 1000’ it’s not much different…

2nd shade of grey!! 

[Port Angeles Foothiller]

Remarkable rainfall for a classic shadow setup. Haven’t seen this in 7 years. I’ll hit 1” before 9 pm. Absolutely awesome for my pond and water reserves. 

[bainbridgekid]

This peaky guy's gonna be tough to track Friday night.  Could see some very unpredictable small bands of heavy snow rotating around it depending how it holds together and tracks. Or it'll dissipate and stay offshore and be a non factor.

 

[Weiner Warrior]

I have a pretty busy week of work so if we can limit the snow to the weekend that would be great.

I usually share a pic if I can manage to capture at least a few viewable flakes. Unfortunately, it doesn't happen very often.

00Z GFS just buries western OR through Sunday morning.    This is less snow for the Seattle area though compared to its 12Z run.  At least the GFS has the sense to not show much snow the immediate coastline.   Something that cannot be said for the ECMWF.

Do you have the Southern OR too?

[Slushy Inch]

This cold front is holding together a lot better on radar than the last strong one we had.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Cold front passed. Wind went calm for 5 minutes then picked up from west and temp dropped 3 degrees in 10 minutes.

Rooting for you hard this week. I don't mind not getting anything if it gets you, Tiger, and MWG.

Obviously... that is not where the model challenges arise or where many people live.  

[bainbridgekid]

Gonna be a rough few days for the Sounders on here. 

Meh, if I counted on snow for my happiness I would move.   Life goes on and it’s fun to watch gonna happen as well as your trolling us flat landers.
