luvssnow_spokane Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 The next couple days look quite spring-like. Dry, too. Just pretend it's late March. Also. Go Hawks.huh?! If it was late March it would be 38, raining, with a block in the perfect place for about two weeks. I think you have your months confused.

HighlandExperience Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 You can't get more active than 4" of rain in less than 48 hours. If we keep the jet stream pointed at California, I would be happy. I should have clarified. I am not interested in warm wet weather in the middle of winter with periods of dryness and warm 850mb temps. Spring has plenty of that. In the middle of winter I prefer cold rain where it fits. I'm not opposed to the occsaional cold dry spell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbotsford_wx Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I'm looking forward to a warm up this week. It's been too cold and damp lately without anything really good to show for it. The first five days of this month never got above 38F. Today was 42F, but it's still damp and feels gross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bainbridgekid Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Well now there is literally only one way in and out of Carnation. The whole Snoqualmie valley is one giant river. It is DEEP in places where there is usually a field. I feel bad for those houses scattered throughout the valley. The damage must be astounding. Like Snowman said, I haven't seen it this bad since that last major flooding event quite a few years ago (08?). Just a complete mess.Probably either November 2006 or December 2007.

December 2007 was minor for the Central Cascades... much worse in SW WA. The houses that flooded with this moderate event were no doubt in worse shape during the 2006 and 2009 events.

Front Ranger Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Good news is the upcoming +EPO regimen won't last as long as the last one..another tropical forcing retrograde on the way. Late January SSW/PV implosion? That's all we need to get the dominoes crashing.. The latest model trends have actually been to maintain the -EPO regime a bit longer and weaken the longer range trend towards +EPO. The GFS in particular doesn't even take the EPO into + territory. It's backed off quite a bit from a few days ago. As long as the EPO isn't going positive, cooler than normal weather will be possible in the lower 48, regardless of what happens with the AO/NAO.

Front Ranger Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 Seems like we've had more offshore flow than onshore flow so far this Winter. Pretty astounding we haven't had any snow with that. Much like last winter, it's been a classic -EPO, weak ENSO cold season. Predominant ridge near or along western North America. Classic as far as the patterns go, not so much the luck with snowfall - unlike last winter in OR. Quote A forum for the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
