Perturbed Member Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Ohhh... and the HRRR shows the heaviest precip over Portland later this evening. Much heavier than right now. HRRR shows a surge of heavier steady precip hitting PDX between 3PM and 7PM I believe. Lets see how well this model does. If I recall it did reasonably well in December.

TT-SEA Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 If only we could get some SUNNY days after this snowfall instead of the rain. Yeah... it truly does suck down there. What a nightmare. I am sure everyone is wishing nothing happened at all... it would be better than this slop.

luterra Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 HRRR shows a surge of heavier steady precip hitting PDX between 3PM and 7PM I believe. Lets see how well this model does. If I recall it did reasonably well in December. The HRRR shows a N-S band of precip moving inland from Lincoln City down to Coos Bay, likely associated with a weak upper-level cold front. That band is also showing up on current radar loops, but it is three hours ahead of the HRRR. We may not have as much time left with this storm as the models believe.

luterra Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I really doubt it. This thing is just getting going for Portland. Portland may keep going for a while under the main deformation band. Down here the forecast was for light snow in the morning becoming heavy in the afternoon. We got 8+ inches in the morning and will be lucky to get another inch in the next narrow band. Not much more coming off the ocean after that.

whitechristmas Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Heard Nick Allard (ch. 8 Portland) say about an hour a go that he thinks the Sat. storm will be no big deal. Says one model he saw showed this and that he's waiting to see it on others before he changes the forecast. Said less moisture and maybe no freezing rain. Anybody seeing this too? That's crappy! Very blizzardy here! Hard for the snow to stick and accumuate, but awesome! Want MORE though, duh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverFallsAndrew Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Tomorrow evening and overnight look to be a huge storm in the Willamette Valley.
