In addition to the winds in Oregon, this would also be concerning for the Seattle metro and eastside.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't that damaging westerly wind storm just also "pop up out of nowhere" within something like 3-4 runs all of a sudden models were showing that very sharp, dynamic cold front with strong thermal gradient and pressure rises? Now here we are again with this potential major, damaging southerly wind storm just came out of nowhere I believe 5-6 model runs ago? .... Assuming the Euro is handling this correct, the GFS/GEM would jump on board soon I would think. 00z GFS in 2 hours 10 minutes 00z GEM in 2 hours 35 minutes 00z ECMWF in 4 hours

Is this coming from the same models that just 5 days ago were telling us January was going to be a torch? The cold's the only thing that matters right now. If you get cold, all you need is one system.

Spire looks good in the LR

I was just walking through there about 90 minutes ago. Lots of people there. And it seems to be a pretty common place for people to get engaged at. Wishing them all the best.
