Looks like Rod over at KATU and Jeff at KOIN are heading towards no sticking snow, especially Rod. But KGW is going full speed snowstorm ahead…
I’ll admit I’m nervous…and probably a sleepless night ahead! But TTD (Troutdale, I’m going to use those identifiers in this blog since lots of you are really weather saavy folks) is now up to 41 degrees and E 17 mph. That is definitely NOT chilly air pouring out of the Gorge. I think the only way we could get snow in the morning is an hour or two of very heavy, sustained precip as the east wind dies down. It’s happened before, but I still don’t think the precip will be heavy enough.
By the way, we tried something new tonight on the newscast. Actually it was Wayne’s idea. Take all the other forecasts in town and stack them up. Very interesting to see other weather folks on my station. Like a little weather family reunion eh? Any thoughts on that? Otherwise it’s home for a short night of sleep. Mark
