the advertised 2nd half major cold looks to target the east rather than the central, as well. Toronto might be east enough while I think it could be a lost winter for the midwest including Chicago

Your location will probably suffer another major drought and heatwave this summer. How about that?!??

I would welcome a mild winter, as last winter wasn’t exactly mild in Indianapolis and to add insult to injury Indianapolis had major snowfalls this past March and April, perhaps this year much of the eastern two thirds of the lower 48 will get a proper spring season this year, even if it is later than normal.

Yup.... thats Lightning. January 8, 2019. Not for Thundersnow either. Interesting Lightning off shore as well.

https://www.lightningmaps.org/#m=sen...dc=0;tr=0;dn=0;




I had a quick burst of rain with hail mixed in before. These wet days don't want to end. Was misting all day and foggy.







Current radar showing Another downpour and maybe a rumble coming in couple hours here.


Temp at surface and at 5000' is above freezing so it wont be snow.

Seattle summers are too mild. Keep in mind that Portland can be 10ºF hotter than Seattle on any given summer day. Our climates are not that similar - Seattle has that 55 degree pool of water, we don't. I'm not even getting into southern Oregon and far northern CA - Redding averages high 90s for summer highs, so you can only imagine what recent summers have been like there.

May to September, Portland is definitely warmer, but the rest of the year is identical and Portland is prone to more snow/ice storms (winter 2016-2017 for example).

Another fast drop in temps starting late today and racing back up by Sat. Low 40's is all i can muster. But at least it is not all 80's and we are getting ups and downs on the temps. Just no real rain for a while that i can see.

You know it's been bad when we get excited for 1-3 inches of snow

Not sure about that just yet




GFS says colder conditions are widespread in the 11-15 day



CFSv2 does seem to want to keep any cold intrusion more east
