I recall instances in the past where we had cold arctic air just north of us and warm, moist air coming up from the southwest and in some instances we experienced a heavy snow event. What I am curious about is what happens after the "big dump". While in some cases, the warm air wins out, the snow changes to rain and we return to "average" Seattle weather. In other cases, the snowfall is followed by a very cold, dry period where the arctic air wins out, at least for a few days. I'm just curious what conditions cause the 2 different outcomes.Soupmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05160499749082498866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-56120991483527635192012-01-16T10:35:01.621-08:002012-01-16T10:35:01.621-08:00Cliff - what are the sources for your maps?

With such a big spread only two days away, and the potential for heavy snow in the lowlands, NOAA wanted to get some better observations for the models so they can start to agree with each other and narrow down on a specific scenario. The Seattle NWS office also said a Winter Storm Watch may need to be issued. This is cool stuff.RobbyRobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03616758038001846987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-4407822945395826562012-01-15T15:35:38.854-08:002012-01-15T15:35:38.854-08:004 to six inches on Lummi Island; snow ending aroun...4 to six inches on Lummi Island; snow ending around 12:30pm.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12624259996398427732noreply@blogger.com
