ECMWF Monthly Run

January 28, 2013

A little late, but here they are, the weekly maps from Sunday night’s ECMWF run…looks pretty mild through much of February:

500za_week3_bg_NA

500za_week4_bg_NA

And here is the 00z GFS 500mb ensemble anomaly chart for Day 15, mid February. Some ridging over us or just to the north…mild on this model. I think it’s fair to say that most likely nothing too exciting will happen in the next two weeks:

Cascade Snowstorm

January 28, 2013

Still a ton of snow to come the next 24 hours in the middle elevations of the Cascades and another 2 days in the higher elevations (5,000’+).

Here’s our RPM forecast of snow totals, note plenty of heavy snow over the the Blue Mountains too:

This is just about the only interesting weather in the next 7-10 days, but I’ll blog later about that.
