Looks like that roast is totally cooked (see yesterday’s post); no snow event this afternoon/evening in the lowest elevations. It’s been too warm not only at the surface but also above. Better chance for snow late tonight and tomorrow morning. 6am-10am should be real interesting. Here’s our forecast for this evening:

32 with moderate snow here, everything is coated in a nice light layer of snow.
Temps falling for sure…but I see less and less moisture moving in from the coast. Maybe some clearing will get us down to freezing so the roads become a mess????
Temperature’s are finally falling in Aloha. 40 half an hour ago, now down to 37.5 and falling.
So tomorrow morning looks “real interesting”. Is Mark’s forecast still calling for rain below 1000 feet except mixed with snow occasionally? There isn’t much said on the blog and I didn’t catch the show this evening.
he’s on right now 🙂
Temperatures are back to dropping here once again, down to 35 now. Hopefully its snowing when i get up at 5am tomorrow!
Yeah same here at 400′ down to 37 now from 41
Temps should drop when this cold front comes in!!! CHECK IT OUT

Ah, this farce, this fraud that is the last gasp of this horrid winter.
This could have, would have, should have been winter. 40 degrees and hard rain at 200′ in Oregon City. Better luck next fall.
tell me about it here in puyallup the temperature has been rising and every rain shower or band disbands before reaching here
there might be hope here after all temp has doped 2 degrees in the last 45 mins
36 here currently with mainly rain, some VERY chunky snow mixed in here and there.
Rain/snow mix at 513′ in EUG…35.7F and dropping…precip rate .23in/hr at the moment
35.5….
Web cams looks like some roadside snow here and there?
WOW! It suddenly became VERY windy!! 😯
I live near downtown oc and we felt the same sudden burst of wind 4-5 mins ago. Weird
Me too. Wind seems to be ESE.
FROPA?
Wow…Lee’s Camp 600′

Mark, how comes the low is off of Wa coast and is still producing such impressive easterly gradient? It is at -5mb now. Is it due to the high in Utah and or BC?
never just went way down.
Still 37 in Beaverton but hopIng it will drop overnight, sounds like there’s plenty of moisture behind the front.
Definitely feels and looks like mid winter outside..
OK so i live in puyallup Washington and the temperature has not changed at all and its not even raining what in the world is going on
97216 at 244ft, i see the cold front nearing the coast range, temperature moved from 38 to almost 40F now, temperature should drop drastically in 3 hrs around 11pm…
Temp rising here as well. Hope it drops then. C’mon, just once this year.
36 at 4:30. Now 38.5.
Dang, my last day of work tomorrow (I’m retired as of 5:00 p.m.!), and all I get as a send-off is chunky rain 🙂
Congratulations!
Calling balls and strikes is treacherous. Kidding, Congratulations.
…really weird, was snowing hard at 33 something, temp dropped to 32.1, then 31.8, and it changed to a rain/snow mix…huh?….little bit of warm air sneaking in just above me???
Weird lag. You will no doubt get some serious snow tonite! My temp went down in mid day. Then up a bit. Now slowly dropping again to 36.5. Still a strong SE wind.
It’s still 37 up here in the coastal foothills…
37 now here.
why does the cold air seem to be in pockets here in the Puget sound can anyone explain thanks
Man, it’s still 41 degrees here. No chance of snow anytime soon.
There is currently thunder in South Beach. We had a big, long, loud boomer about three minutes ago.
What is the TOTAL SNOWFALL for PDX this year???
2 inches.
not bad but still below average:( who know what tonight might bring!!!
0.0 inches.
2.2″
2.2 inches tonight at PDX, Mark? Really?!? 😀
I am reading about possible heavy winds in PDX metro..what is the timing on that???
No wind for you!

I’m in the 10-15″ zone for 3 day totals on the 18z RPM, obviously overdone, but of course that is what I thought in January.
On the other hand it snows snow over the valley Salem south on the 24 hr version, probably picking up the higher terrain, that and it does generally over do it.
shows snow
I wouldn’t read too much into that graphic since it’s partly about the graphics contouring. It goes from zero in the middle of the valley to 20″ in the Cascades. You are somewhere inbetween.
No, I’m pretty sure it snows snow when it snows in Salem. I’d hate to think of what other terrible things might possibly fall from the sky and start accumulating on the ground down there…
…oobleck…
Hey i am 12 years old and don’t want school tomorrow or at lest a delay. Is there any hope?
Yea, play hookey.Seriously though, where do you live and go to school?
bull mountain so we might
Nathan! I’m one of your teachers. Do your homework! Glad to see you are interested in the weather.
Is that a joke Snowflakey?
Hahaha!! Creepy…
Nope; not a joke! Never know where your teachers lurk…..
fine than whats your ?name
Just rain/snow mix up here. Pretty much what I expected for early evening. Current temp is 35.2. Tomorrow looks pretty snowy up here.
So what shall we end up calling this event, since winter was “R.I.P’d” a few weeks ago?
“I’m not dead yet! (whack!) Right, see you next week..”
“Not with a bang, but a whimper”
“Hmmm– what’s that smell??”
Love the Python (Monty) reference.
Winter is still dead in the lowlands…here’s the graphic: https://fox12weather.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/markwinter_overfork2.png
I said we could still get a dusting even at the lowest elevations, but not a freeze, snowstorm, flood etc…
I really enjoy a dusting!
I wouldn’t say winter was dead in the lowlands. After all, this is pretty typical for mid winter weather. An arctic blast is always a blast (hehe) but this kind of storm really summarizes winter in the PNW. A classic winter storm with all the goodies IMHO. Whoosh!!!
Strangest thing, we had snow all day, on and off. Now that the temp has dropped, just getting rain with a bit of snow mixed in. On the other hand, having issues keeping the lights on. They’re flickering like crazy.
First?
Mark..nice job as usual! Gotta say, your pretty dang close to right on with the forcasting! Kudos…
Now could you give me the winning lotto numbers so I can move to a tropical island!!!!!
LOL
