Choada_Boy Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hopefully the forthcoming Monsoon will be followed by a hard freeze: * FROM TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT * A SERIES OF FRONTS IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE REGION TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR VERY HEAVY RAINS OVER THE MOUNTAINS. THE FIRST FRONT IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD RAIN ACROSS WESTERN WASHINGTON EARLY TUESDAY. SNOW LEVELS WILL START OUT AROUND 4000 FEET THEN RISE TO NEAR 6000 FEET IN THE AFTERNOON. THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE ANYWHERE BETWEEN A HALF INCH TO ONE AND A HALF INCHES OF PRECIPITATION OVER THE MOUNTAINS. A SECOND...STRONGER FRONT THAT HAS ENTRAINED TROPICAL MOISTURE WILL RAISE THE FREEZING LEVELS ABOVE 9000 FEET AND SPREAD HEAVIER RAINS ACROSS THE AREA. THE COMBINATION OF A STRONG WESTERLY WIND IN THE MID LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE AND ABUNDANT MOISTURE IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAINS ALONG THE WEST SLOPES OF THE OLYMPICS AND CASCADES TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVER THE OLYMPICS AND CASCADES TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING ARE EXPECTED TO EXCEED 3 INCHES WITH LOCAL AREAS ALONG THE WEST SLOPES EXCEEDING 6 INCHES.

Off_White Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Do we need a betting pool for how many hours after reopening we're going to lose the Mountain Loop Highway again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmace Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I made this image this morning, you can see the great moisture available spanning the entire Pacific. The high to the South will build in on Thursday cutting off the supply, the storm labelled Friday will move onto the N coast of BC while Southern regions look good. Weekend is shaping up nicely so is next week but then again it is November so all bets are off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordop Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I'm prediciting a rough few weeks at Whistler as they supposedly open Nov 27. Still 2 weeks to go I guess, but this time last year there was already 1.5m on the ground at Diamond Head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 So what if it's followed by a hard freeze there is nothing on the ground up there to freeze, it all got washed away the last week or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
