luvssnow_spokane Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 So you see no difference between tracking the upcoming pattern and the patterns available to track since late December? None at all? Why does it bother you that I care about and track the weather in the PNW? Good lord...people are free to think what they want and care about what they want. If all you want is mountain snowfall, great! But your endless, regurgitated wet blanket remarks get old. Why do you care if other people are actually interested in this pattern? Why do you always feel the need to downplay others interest? point well taken.. let me clarify.. I have no problems with your enthusiasm but when any one comes up against you are just as quick to defend and wet blanket their opinion because they are not as enthusiastic as yours. Both opinions are valid and leave it at that. I think that this weather possible change is just dandy and have absolutely no problem with your posts. As you should have no problem with someone who contradicts your post like Tim has and others have. It's all good and I appoligize if I came across as putting a wet blanket on your posts but I honestly do not see much to be excited about here but it was not a put down toward you.

bainbridgekid Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Also shows low 50s on Saturday. Sunny weekend... highs in the 50s. That about sums it up. 925mb temps do fall to a little below zero for us Saturday morning, so it is a cooler airmass than we've had in a while. Nothing impressive obviously though. Sidenote, you can really tell how much stronger the sun is this time of year by following the 925mb temperature loop. 925mb temps swing wildly from the morning to the afternoon whereas a month ago they were fairly stable. For example, Saturday morning there is tons of cold air everywhere East of the Cascades and in all of BC: http://www.atmos.washington.edu/mm5rt/data/current_extended/images_d2/slp.84.0000.gifThen 12 hours later, it is all gone in the afternoon sunshine:http://www.atmos.washington.edu/mm5rt/data/current_extended/images_d2/slp.96.0000.gifBut the cold reemerges the next night:http://www.atmos.washington.edu/mm5rt/data/current_extended/images_d2/slp.108.0000.gifThen a huge warmup again that afternoon. Some parts of BC see more than a 20 degree warmup in 12 hours. http://www.atmos.washington.edu/mm5rt/data/current_extended/images_d2/slp.120.0000.gif Quote Everett Snowfall (510 feet elevation) Snow since February 2019: 91" 2023-24: 6" 2022-23: 17.5" 2021-22: 17.75" 2020-21: 14.5” 2019-20: 10.5" 2018-19: 24.75" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 This pattern change is being overplayed because we're missing the elephant in the room. I suspect we'll be back in a +PNA by the middle portion of March.. Same story all winter..we get a burp of hi-freq WPAC forcing superimposed on underlying QBO/ENSO driven mass transport. What results is repetitive NPAC wave-breaking, and a tank in the EPO along with an attempted bombardment of the PV. The initial PNA response cannot sustain on its own given the pull of the forementioned underlying inertial forcings unless our partner in crime (the dominant, fully coupled PV) is compromised. Why? The PV is dominating high latitude mass transport, export-returns, and wave guidance. It's fully coupled to the NAM and the Hudson Bay vortex. The PV works like a giant tornado with multiple vortices at the base. Destroy the vortex aloft, you stop both the development and subsequent poleward progression of the vortices below. Hence you tank the NAM, reverse the mass transport gradients, and pass the hot-potato into the hands of the higher frequency tropical forcings which will then begin battle with the lower frequency, ENSO dominated forcings/resonances. That's how you change a low frequency pattern. Look at January 2013. Before the SSW/mass transport breakdown that occurred around the turn of that New Year, we'd been in a persistent regimen since February of 2011, essentily the opposite of the one we're in now. We all know how that changed, with a total transition in the span of a few weeks. The dominant circulations had done a 180 by January 20th. We need to break down the PV before we're going to get a true, large scale pattern change. Only then will the ENSO trend back negative, along with the PNA and PDO.. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
