November 2020 Weather Observations for the PNW

On the anecdotal evidence front for big time stuff coming later on...

Today marked the 5th time temperatures have flipped either from much below to much above or much above to much below normal in a little over a month.  Historically speaking such a sharp temperature roller coaster is a good sign for cold weather down the road.

Wonder how many trees fell up there today...

Probably a bunch.  The winds were basically hurricane force for over 12 hours at that location.  Totally insane.

Solander island appears to be just a rock out in the open ocean off the coast of northern Vancouver Island.    There are no trees there... probably because strong winds are very common.

Made it down to the Long Beach Peninsula today, seemed fairly typical storm there, though a tree took out a major transmission line and a lot of the pen was out even after we left.  Decent waves, but not the largest I've seen.  Here's a couple of cell phone pics, almost 1,500 pics on the camera to go through!  Surprised at the amount of downed trees too given this seemed fairly typical for the coast.

This has easily been the worst day in the history of the PNW. Hang in there and we might see brighter days soon.

A dud for sure. 

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!

Andrew is right. Next week is starting to look pretty mild on the GFS. 

Just calling it like I see it.

Definitely less of an issue this winter. See 2016/17, 2013/14, 2010/11, etc, all were Niña/+QBO without SSW events. The December 2008 event technically preceded the SSW..that was a backwards-pathway wave-2 type event. Not common.

Early winter in PNW doesn’t have much of a correlation to NAM/PV anyway. January and February display a more profound connection, though it’s more consistent outside Niña/+QBO.

Mid/late season SSW events in 1988/89, 2018/19, 2008/09, 2003/04, 2017/18, 1984/85, etc. Also late December 1998, early December 1996. I’m sure there are more.

Do you think we could see a SSW event in December this year?

I’m more bullish than the models. I do think something will try to get going up there next month. At least a transitory attempt at w-2?

Troposphere has to cooperate for more than a few days at a time, though. So far, it hasn’t.

W-2’s typically aren’t sent out until mid to late January.

My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.
