PNW November 2025

[Chewbacca Defense]

up to 1.62" since midnight, 2.04" for this system, and we have not seen any wind to speak of today.

Cool to see the CZ form and rotate around the Sound as the flow shifts around the mountains. The wind just completely 180ed in direction as it got here a couple minutes ago. The south wind had the trees bending firmly to the north all morning, then all the sudden everything flipped with a huge gust out of the north and a sheet of rain roaring through all at once. Getting torrential rain now.

Honestly the PSCZ has to be one of the most interesting local weather phenomenon I'm aware of. Is there anywhere else on earth that so consistently gets such a robust CZ like us? I'm sure there must be somewhere, but nothing immediately comes to mind.

D**n it @iFred, your website is killing my gif.

Anyway, enjoy this video of the sheets of rain that just came in with the CZ

Lost power out here about an hour ago.

Like all the random windstorm maps at 240+ hours?  Who cares dude.

I found something interesting to me within the next 7 or 8 days.    Probably won't happen but I am basically looking for something other than daily rain because that is the default at this time of year and boring.   Just waiting for some cold or snow or sun or our next trip which is Florida for the first half of December.   Something will eventually break up the monotony.

Heavy rain here. Hope this conversion zone can happen for someone to score big with snow later on.

What a squall I just had to drive through southbound on I-5

[KeyPeninsula_Wx]

Only lost power for about 2 hours. Still fairly breezy right now but the suns out and has turned into a nice day post storm.

.31 here for the month of October. Very dry even for here. Could’ve been worse tho, October of ‘22 was summer like. Would be nice to have an old school winter over here like we used to have. 

Wasn't a dry month regionally. As Tim will point out, these maps skew dry, too.

About average. Going to need a better November 

[TT-SEA]

Rain has stopped... pretty warm and muggy out there.     Very light wind.

As you can see, I’m about the bullseye for driest in Wa and Or. Hopefully some more precip gets through this month. West side looks wet the next ten days.

Yeah, atleast here locally I don’t think ~75% of normal is accurate. Probably closer to 90-100%. That’s just my backyard though.

Disappointingly quiet here at the moment.

Why couldn’t it have been disappointingly quiet last night for trick or treating?

[TT-SEA]

They are wind blown and water logged... but the dahlias and roses are still blooming in November as I anticipated after getting past that short cold spell in middle of October and going into a very wet pattern.

[High Desert Mathew]

Up to 71 now with breezy south winds. Feels like late April out there but with .00 of precip on the day.

I thought that was broken already recently.....? No?

Yes you are right actually... 10/24 got 1.04"

[High Desert Mathew]

Besides the average to a little below average precip for October regionally and the teleconnections, especially the weak La Niña that does off in January, seems like 2016-2017 is a pretty good analog. Anyone know what the blob was like that year?

As far as the big guys go, SEA finished almost exactly average for the month and PDX was above average.

Wow clouds are completely clearing out here. Turning into a nice fall day.

It was for us thankfully!! 

[BLI snowman]

Very excited and thankful for the rain opportunities these next 10 days.

Hoping it keeps up indefinitely. 

[KeyPeninsula_Wx]

Actually surprised we’ve kept power after it came back on. It has been pretty windy here the last few hours. Still haven’t had a real big wind event this year…atleast out here.

We are a couple weeks away from warm and wet being evil on here because it takes away from snow chances.

Not bad.

Sunny and windy here. The AR plus the wind ate up the snow on the Olympics but sounds like we should get some back in the coming days.

Mild, wet, and boring in a Nina November should usually be a pretty good sign of things to come. Rip that bandaid off before primetime.

Yeah let’s get the zonal crap out of the way and have the good patterns ready to go when it is coldest

[SpaceRace22]

Thank goodness for convergence zones. No sign of the sun here. I was worried sick that it was going to come out earlier. Praying that the clearing can hold off until after dark so that I don't have to see it.

[MossMan]

Windy again but nothing crazy. 
I do have a date with the blower again tomorrow.

Cansips for Dec

 

 

An actual coolish December for the Northeast? I’ll believe it when I see it. Count on the opposite with a torch the week of Xmas.

[SunAndSnow]

1.14” today, 1.48” storm total. Suns out!

Always bet on a SE ridge and East Coast torch

It was a very satisfying rain event last night. The axis of development tracked pretty much right over the city, complete with upscale development. ~1.4" storm total, respectable stuff
