Portland is often colder than Bellingham in backdoor blasts but front door blasts sometimes never really reach Portland at all. Backdoor blasts can work for snow when a front comes in from the West and sucks the cold air in through the gaps. Guessing some of Portlands best snowstorms are that scenario. And maybe their worst ice storms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deweydog Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 16 minutes ago, Acer said: What is showing on the Euro today is a bit of a tweener I think, in that a fair amount of the cold is coming thru the Fraser river gorge. A full on backdoor blast will pile the cold air up against the cascades with the Columbia gorge being the main outlet to the west. In these cases the Fraser river cold is negligible and northwestern Washington doesn't get as cold. Is that correct? The Euro scenario is pretty unique in that the widespread cold advection occurs without the benefit of a closed vortmax developing. Very long range GFS-y kind of trick it’s pulling. 1 Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time of year, I long for the smell of leather and cut grass. It is such an emotional stimulant for me. When I finally hung it up I desperately needed some kind of competitive outlet so I became a salmon and steelhead fisherman. It helped but nothing will ever replace ball in glove, walking to the mound and thanking God I got to do this. Now I'm 70 and I thank God I can pee, use the tv remote and drag my sled out to fish most days. Play Ball! I do love watching models torment me though with prospects of extreme weather. I guess we all need a little adrenaline still in our veins whatever form it comes. Jumped out of an airplane for my 70th this summer. Now that was stinkin fun. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheNewCulverJosh Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Obviously the models take into account percentages of arctic intrusions, how often they go say east of the Rockies, east of the Cascades, or near the coast. I would think that even though a great pattern may be setting up for us widespread, the models still put climatology and historical probabilities onto a much more weighted scale. Am I wrong? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairiedog Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 If an arctic front doesn't spin up a little low with some moisture it won't matter to me which direction it comes from. It will either be front loaded with moisture or backloaded ending in a transition event. Been a while here since we've had a legit arctic front that dropped snow then cold air filling in behind. Those are the best when they do happen. You guys up north like in Bellingham (and north of Seattle) have had several it seems the last couple years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian_in_Leavenworth Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 CPC is on board, at least with colder temps. Probabilities of below normal temperatures are favored from the West Coast eastward to the Mississippi Valley as the predicted large-scale trough progresses east across the CONUS. Positive height anomalies near the East Coast increase chances of above normal temperatures there. FORECAST CONFIDENCE FOR THE 8-14 DAY PERIOD: Well above average, 5 out of 5, due to very good agreement among the temperature and precipitation tools and an amplified long-wave pattern across the forecast domain. That is pretty rare for an 8-14 day forecast. The official 8-14 day 500-hPa height blend consists of: 50% of Yesterday's operational 12z GFS centered on Day 10, and 50% of Today's 0z European Ensemble Mean centered on Day 11 Todays EPS was even better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TacomaWaWx Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 I definitely feel like it’ll get colder in the long range. Not fully sold on the Arctic solutions yet. Either way lots of potential for something good to happen next month. This latest “cold snap” only produced one freeze albeit 28 degrees our coldest reading of the winter. Not even one sub 40 high temp...and some wet snow for a couple hours Tuesday night. Still only 2 freezes this January and only 7 so far this winter.
