Looking at the models, seems like winter is probably over for sunriver. We could maybe see some brief wet snow at some point in May, but it looks unlikely at this point. Estimated 91" of snow this season (can't always 100% accurately measure it because we aren't always here and our snow compacts pretty quickly), and I estimate our average is about 90 inches, give or take a dozen because I don't really know. I'd say we had a pretty good season for a strong el nino!

We were done with snow in March this year, but ended up around average here too. Not bad, way better than I had expected.

I’ve never been a Blazer fan. Don’t really have a team, more follow specific players. My 3 favorite players are Giannis, Jokic, and Luka. Honorable mention Jayson Tatum, Banchero, and Ant. And who doesn’t love seeing Lebron fake an injury late in a loss or hearing Kawaii will miss yet another game!

[TigerWoodsLibido]

I haven't watched the Blazers since like 2006, then they signed that Comcast deal and now ROOT Sports which my TV providers don't pay for.

But college basketball is way more fun to me anyway.

Upper 50s seem like a pretty good bet a lot of places tomorrow

I'm similar actually.  follow the warriors cause on the east coast I followed Steph Curry when he played college ball at Davidson in the Carolinas.  later moved to CA and he was drafted by the warriors and have been a fan of them since

Well, that sure didn’t take long.

Apparently we had one yesterday start as well down here, that area got a pretty good shot of rain overnight though so hopefully that took care of it. 

[MossMan]

Brrr.

Drove out to Ocean Shores to see family today. Amazing summer like drive and being out on the Jetty when the front rolled in was a memorable experience. We really need to do a coastal meetup when we get the next decadal storm.

Sound like a great idea, count me in. We’re due for another Columbus Day Storm. Maybe we can all meet there and do some storm chasing!  

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

22 for a low and now up to 37. Thought it would get colder....

[SilverFallsAndrew]

33 cold ones this morning.

Eh. Today will go on the books as another very warm day. Tomorrow barely gets us to average then it’s back to more ridging. Followed by another “troughy” period that’s getting more toned down by the day.

Today was fun, but it would be more exciting if it were a longer lasting crash to significantly colder or wet weather. Just my opinion.

Dude, the mean trough position is in the West/PNW for the entirety of the 00z EPS run. And it has been for the last 7 weeks, too.

The ridgy periods have been relatively transient up there compared to other parts of the country. It can’t be troughy 24/7.

[ShawniganLake]

Had some heavy showers overnight. Close to 1/4” of rain. 

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Warmer than expected yesterday as PDX got up to 73, it’s 3rd straight 70s . A little cooler today but back into the 70s Monday and Tuesday. More seasonal weather by the end of the week.

 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Not a bad 12z run. Looks pretty climo. 

[TT-SEA]

12Z ECMWF looks very troughy and wet.  April is running a little colder than normal at SEA through yesterday and likely will end up colder than normal.

Yes... dry but not warm.

And if the ECMWF is right it might not even end up that dry.

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

Atleast the next 16 days doesn't look very warm, probably will be cooler than average which will help with the snowpack. Should also get pretty cold tonight in the lowlands.

that would be great

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Good to get as much cool weather and rain as we can get...before the inferno takes over in the coming months.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

We haven't had a cooler than normal month since March...of 2023.

[Cascadia_Wx]

Guess I’ll do my write up on yesterday’s much maligned fropa. Ended up with a 70/48 day here yesterday when all was said and done. Mild night the night before last with all the east winds, had an overnight low of just 54. Sunny with gusty east winds the first part of the day with temps quickly rising to 70 by 1-2pm.

Clouds were moving in in earnest by 3 or so with a sharp switch to gusty SSW winds. Had some spots of light rain and drizzle with the front but didn’t amount to much. Was in the lower 50s by sunset, cleared out in the evening with a midnight low of 48.

Someone slapped that station upside the head and made it start acting right proper. Was it you Andrew?

[Cascadia_Wx]

Last night was clearer than I expected though. Scored a low of 39. Today has been lovely with puffy clouds, cool breezes and sunbreaks. High of 59 so far. Will probably hit 60-61. Tonight could be on the chilly side again at least.

Mid-week and beyond is starting to look ok for some appreciable rainfall
