PNW February 2022 - Winters Last Stand


The Blob

Recommended Posts

Still a lot of rain to come on the radar.  This is going to rival October 2003 for greatest rainfall I've recorded at this location, and any location for that matter.

This is what folks up north got in November, it’s the southern folks turn! No shortages of AR’s this season.

I only picked up 0.82" today. I've also only had three days over 2" since I got my weather station in 2008:

2.24" on May 28, 2010
2.20" on October 21, 2019
2.04" on February 21, 2012

Those were pretty wet days so I can't imagine getting 3", let alone 5"+ in a day. It kind of makes me wonder how much rain we had up here in October of 2003 during the record wet day in Seattle, or what our wettest day possible is. It's pretty hard to be out of the rain shadow for an entire day which is why I can't imagine it would be much more than 2.5".

Looks like EUG ends February with a 0.98" monthly total, which is good for 2nd driest of all time.

The rich get richer, the poor get poorer.

Just 0.78" for Springfield. I'm going to assume that's right there toward the bottom for here too. Depressing.

SEA only picked up .04 in the last hour as the main band is now shifting east.    That brings the total for the day to 2.96 inches and might fall just short of 3 inches.

Really pulling for those showers popping up in the South Sound to give them another 0.04” before midnight.

Everett has only gotten about 0.25” today. Rain shadow has been impressive.

Yeah it's not gonna make it. Crazy that I'm north of Seatac and easily cleared 4". Mountain effect is real.

It's like squeezing an orange.

Winter (DJF) temps and precip for the region

As discussed previously... that map is misleading for the Seattle area down to Olympia because it includes some stations which have only sporadic data in that area and that causes the map to always look drier than reality.

For DJF... SEA was actually +1.20 inches and OLM was +4.52

Going back further... SEA is +7.00 inches for the water year and OLM is +8.51

2 straight La Ninas and the entire MFR region in the red. "But they're high desert" - regardless, it's a newer recent trend. It's like we need neutral and weak Ninos to get them wet. lol

The time frame on this map doesn’t include two la ninas it’s just showing the last three months  (winter) fall was wetter in many areas hopefully spring will be too

Interestingly, the recent downwelling OKW seems to have been ineffective at depressing the thermocline east of the dateline.

Head scratcher to me, but hard to deny. The odds of a transition into El Niño seem to be decreasing.

I know that, but it's almost a copy-paste of 20-21 Nina. Southern Oregon in the last few years can't seem to buy an average winter in raw precipitation. AR's used to soak NorCal.

California got an epic AR in October and more in December nothing really since though 

The last multi-year Niño down there featured one of their worst droughts on record (2013-16) it took a decent La Niña (2016-17) to pull them out of it

The 18z EPS is the coldest yet with the mini blast next week, and shows 850s dropping to -10 over SEA on the mean.  Looks like a pretty solid shot at another couple of days of double digit minus departures for SEA with this.  I expect the GFS to move decidedly colder on tonight's run.
