We do need Jim back. When we are tracking an arctic blast and things look really good and there is one set of bad model runs. Everyone starts freaking out while he keeps the optimism and tells everyone that it’s fine and that the models do this with every event. I know sometimes he gets his hopes too high but I feel like if there is a set of bad model runs and we don’t have Jim to tell us it’s not as bad as it looks when a good amount of times it actually is that way such as when the models go from showing us getting 5-8” of snow to only 3-6” which is still a good event. I think the forum might go insane without him to keep some positivity.

Just need a juicy GOA ridged to send all that cold over to us!

The Summer was very dull in terms of convection west of the Cascades for Clackamas and Multnomah counties. There was only one brief t-storm that developed near Camas and drifted southward. It only lasted 30-40 minutes. At least it wasn't scorching hot though. This fall so far we've had a few minor wind events, a few t-storms, but yeah that big 'dynamic' event not yet. You're another mainstay here, another favorite of the forum, Justin.

This has to be one of the craziest NAM runs I have witnessed in regards to totals. I will eat my hat if this happened.

PDX's temperature range of 27 degrees so far this month is the smallest ever for November. Maximum of 63 and minimum of 36. A remarkably stagnant and stale month. 2025 is absolutely vaulting up the list of worst weather years ever. Dynamic weather just doesn't exist anymore.
