1.39" here since last night. Fell asleep with the window open listening to the heavy rain. It was kinda nice.

At some point overnight our bedroom door slammed shut super hard and it jolted me out of bed. Thought I was going to have to Mr. Miyagi someone's @ss but realized it was just the wind coming through the window. Sounded like a pretty big gust.

Good thing it was a big gust and not a big guest.

In actuality a sharp October cold wave during a Nina is about as good as it gets for a precursor.  Cold in October during a Nino is a far different matter.

Here we go again.

 1.62" since yesterday morning here.  A low of 54 is the 7th low in a row of 50 or higher!  Last year I had a low on this date of 27.  Currently 54 in a moderate shower.

You beat me...again. 

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

Looks like SEA picked up 1.01 overnight. 

 

Which means you got 6”, right?

Does anyone else get a privacy alert that "attackers are trying to steal information" using archived loops on this link?

I used to go on this link all the time and load radar images.

I know that link too, but I was specifically referring to archived loops.

These are actually my favorite ones for current radar.

No doubt this front / trough put a very dynamic end to the quiet weather.  Maybe some thunder later today as well.

Looks like we are still very much in the running for a nice shot of Canadian air next week.  I would love to at least get our first frost out of it.

Is it my imagination that the little fella has a faster wiggle as you scroll the post upward.  As the post first scrolls into site he is doing the regular dance but as the post gets scrolled up his excitement level of wiggle increases!!!

For sure.  It looks like this is the beginning of a much more interesting regime.  This could end up being a pretty fun month with any bit of luck at all.

Got another great fall color hike in this week before the rain started. In the Dark Divide, a rugged area north of the Lewis River, between St. Helens and Adams.

Mt. Adams was hazy due to lingering California wildfire smoke in the mid levels.

I love those alpine areas east of the Cascade crest (at least I assume that's east of the crest).  The trees and vegetation have a very cool look to them.

The package is delivered on the ECMWF!  A nice cold clipper.

Surprisingly this area is actually west of the crest, on the north/south divide between the Lewis and Cowlitz River drainages. Although I do believe it sits in a semi-rain shadow, since Mt. St. Helens and the taller mountains surrounding it are to its west and probably block incoming precip to a degree.

Yeah, the type of regime we appear to be going into could give the very warm start a little more character in context.

Very decent ECMWF run.  That should bring some decidedly crisp weather for us.  Straight northerly gradients settle in which is great for cold mins for many areas.

The more I look at this ECMWF run the more I like it.  The offshore block is much more solid next weekend than the two previous runs.

I hope this very blocky regime lasts all winter.    Short bursts of heavy rain and long dry periods with sun and northerly or offshore flow.
