AnthonyC Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Quite an amazing few days for PDX. And SEA gets completely screwed. I think I'm officially ready for Spring now. :0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadio Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Latest IR loop. Notice, one, how much of the storm is still offshore. Surface low way to our S. Deformation band to its N-NE where we'll see heaviest snowfall. But what about those lows forming to the N-NW of today's storm. I have a hunch that these lows are spinning up and travelling along the stationary boundary over western Oregon, thus not allowing a Pacific system to drive in from the W-SW directly and ending our cold air. A *HUNCH* here is that we *MAY* see another system later Saturday that could be significant and may not warm us up as much as models are showing. NWS has hinted at this as well in past several AFDs. http://www.atmos.washington.edu/~ovens/wxloop.cgi?ir4km+12Oh my.... I'm almost speechless at the idea.

Deweydog Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 You are just starting to get into the action now. I am thinking a DZ is going to pummel your area later. Yeah, it'll be close I think. We were right on the edge of the sweet spot yesterday, but the synoptics for this system are quite a bit different. Just gonna have to let it play out.

luvssnow_spokane Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 This would be the intensity of the snow per 3 hr totals ... I only did it to 3" but here is the general outline ...And this is only if that batch of moisture moves northeast like the satellite shows, which is against most models. Upper Left - 4pm Upper Right - 7pm Lower Left - 10pm Lower Right - 1am Looks like the sound does have snowfall, the most centering from Seattle at the north end ... and Olypmia at the south end ... of course the heaviest tonight at The Dalles ...Other images I did not shown shows the same over the Southern Sound areas at 4am so i'd assume if that happened the area would get 1-2" of snow overnight ... The scale for the colors - Magenta - 3" in a three hour periodDark Blue - 2" in a three hour periodLight Blue - 1" in a Three hour periodGreen - 0.1 - 0.5" in a three hour period You can add it up from there ...Based on the current radar things look to be a bit ahead of schedule but overall this is a very good indicator.

TT-SEA Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Dewpoint in Bellingham is dropping... back down to 8. Northerly flow picking up across the Sound. Offshore gradients from the east are much lighter today. Yesterday the SEA-EAT gradient was -10.1 and today its at -2.9 so the east wind is non-existent out here today. Must be related to the different dynamics Dewey mentioned with today's system.

I say that about Hoquiam during our events. That is pretty insane. Of course PDX could be 45, DP 42 and you could still be in the deep freeze out there with this set-up!
