bainbridgekid Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 6z brings the low in just South of Seattle. Looks primed for a quick dump of heavy wet snow North and East of Seattle on this run. Slightly better than the 0z overall IMO.

Gradient Keeper Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Water Vapor Imagery Wow. This has geared up quickly. A long fetch of sub-tropical moisture from just northwest of Hawaii is streaming towards us. Along this there are 6 distinct areas of wave development/cyclogenesis. This weekend is going to be very wet, windy, and dynamic. Although not likely, I am not sure we can entirely rule out a wind storm due to 160kt jet support.

Cloud Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Really fun and interesting models runs overnight. At a glance, this looks to be a bit marginal for sea level, so it might end up just being a nowcast. Worth watching models today and tonight to see how things goes but for most part, I think anyone from 800’-1000’ is in a good spot. And also typical Hood Canal special as the cold usually gets trapped there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
