TT-SEA 4193 Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 7 minutes ago, Jesse said: Another 60 at PDX. 4th one this month with at least two more to go. Sixth one year to date. We’re really racking them up already. ECMWF says you will probably pick up another 4 next week... maybe 5. Of course the 12Z ECMWF showed a high of 54 at PDX yesterday and 57 today. So PDX seems to be subjected to the same ECMWF cold bias it has in the Puget Sound region. 1 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to post Share on other sites

It was 50 there at noon and currently 51 in North Bend. Good reminder for this upcoming warm season to add a few degrees to the highs when it's sunny outside. Always seems like a safe bet, not sure why they haven't fixed it by now. 1 1 Quote <p><font size="3"><font color="purple"><b>Isaiah 26:20 Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; hide yourselves for a little while until the wrath is past.</font></b></font></font> Link to post Share on other sites

Has generally been the case since the mid February snow event. I suppose that's karma since that event made the absolute most out of the pattern at hand in terms of cold.
