October 2024 PNW Weather Discussion

[MossMan]

I have friends in Dallas Texas and Lakeland Florida that both really want us to come down for a visit. Never been but I have no desire…However would probably pick Florida if I had to choose just so I could hang out on the beach.

I think there’s a great chance we get an early season Arctic Blast this cold season. I’m looking at the mid November to mid December timeframe.You’re not going to have to wait long this year Randy! ️

The possibility of a “sting jet” has increased on the backside of Milton as it tracks through Florida.

Joe Bastardi confirming the sting jet.

November 1985 here we come!

Tropicana Field's roof was completely blown apart by the storm. First responders were stationed there before they moved.https://x.com/BC_Johnson/status/1844207909712154800

Loved November 1985. 9 inches in North Everett and snow on the ground for Apple Cup-fun times

I gotta know if this works!

Stanwood, Florida! 
I noticed the gas station right off the Stanwood/Camano exit planted palm trees in their ditch!

Palm trees always do a lot to class up a place.

We're going to get a foot of snow on Thanksgiving and a 18/-1 day! And 2 feet on Christmas! 

[Sunriver Snow Zone]

We're also going to get over 37 inches of snow soon if ensemble #7 from the 18z GFS is to be believed. That would really be something! 

[MossMan]

.17” so far in less than an hour. 

[Tanis Leach]

Meanwhile, on US60 in WV. A case of unfortunate control cities.

This is a hurricane forum now. Please post on Stuffradio’s board if you want local observations.

ANYONE CHECKING OUT THAT NEW TROPICAL WAVE?!

[The Blob]

Hello, been m.i.a. for a minute, but I wanted to touch in. My husband was reminded by his mother that her parents are living in Seminole FL and chose not to evacuate. I guess their retirement community has hurricane reinforced buildings and they are 6 floors up, so I guess we'll see if they make it through?

It hasn't been well studied but there is a lot of anecdotal evidence for small-scale mountain waves or rotors causing localized bursts of damaging winds during strong windstorms. I've seen a couple of these patches in Olympic NP, they are pretty impressive. Whole groups of old growth all knocked over at the same time. 

Interesting.  Seems like something like that may have happened in the area of the photograph

Welcome back. I hope everything is ok, or at least better.

I wish I had this kind of confidence in real life.

Looking at the meteorological summary from January 1880 it appears Portland had a 15 minute average windspeed of 53 with gusts to 70.  That is incredibly impressive to have a 15 minute average over 50.  Probably on par with Columbus Day.  The strongest recorded gust was 80 at Umatilla.

Kind of had a feeling it was going to happen with the way that roof was basically a tarp.

Some guy who calls himself Lieutenant Dan is riding out the hurricane in his boat lmao. Absolutely crazy of him to do but it looks like he made it through the worst of it!

[snow_wizard]

Models looking cool for next week.  Highs in the 50s lows mid 30s to mid 40s.

Very lucky.  So many things could have gone wrong.
