1/3 chance of a somewhat decent brief snow event….1/3 chance of 500’ snow levels and 1/3 chance of 40 degree rain at this point IMO for early February.

42/28 day here freezing fog in the morning which didn’t burn off until 2-3pm and it still stayed pretty cold once the sun was out.  

Down to 30 already this evening with more fog it’s nice to see a solid inversion in late January it’s been awhile.

Could be setting up for a fake cold event. How do 850s look? I imagine colder air dumped south into the Columbia Basin.

Never fun seeing the blockbuster snowstorm on the east coast this EURO run in conjunction with absolutely nothing on this side of the country

You will like this though.

00z WRF 4km sounding PDX. Roaring east winds Thursday morning! We have rarely seen the vaunted 50kt wind barb on any soundings this Winter.

37.9.

Only got down to 37.4 last night.

Looks like the fog may be a little more extensive in the willamette valley today. We will see... 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Nws going with highs around 50 in the valley today...

[FroYoBro]

Second morning in a row which made it to 30 degrees. Nice to see. Also have some pretty heavy freezing fog this morning. I think today is going to much cooler at my spot compared to yesterday. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

The fog layer in the willamette valley is extremely thin, couple hundred feet at most right now.

Low of 28º here.

Still getting used to a place where the coldest temperature of the year can come under the highest seasonal heights and thicknesses.

That's not the way we did things back in SoCal.

No Catalina Eddie's here.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

30 and foggy in Silverton. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

12z GFS is buying the dip around the 1st.

[LowerGarfield]

Tries to go back door...

12z left the back door open!

We know the GFS is overly aggressive with CAA and the Rockies would block 99.9% of that cold air. ️

[TacomaWaWx]

33 here this morning. Still have 9 freezes this season and nothing since early January.

12z ensembles coming in a touch warmer so far.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Very dense fog here in Salem. Current temp is 32. The NWS forecast high of 50 seems like a bit of a stretch, maybe if it clears up in the next hour.
