Good evening to all. Today has been a cool day with a few on/off showers in the form of mainly sleet in my area of Woodinville this afternoon. Temps today probably in the 30`s with nothing sticking at the lower elevations. However this
evening upon my return home from work, I see there is MINOR DUSTING of sleet on the trees and backyard here atop Hollywood hill(elev 300ft) see also attached picture I took. Those of you of say 200ft and above, probably some amount of accumulation already. And right now, light sleet contiues to fall with temp of 32 and dp at 30 with an area of showers currently moving through the central sound(see radar image).So here`s to actual snow falling later tonight! :o)
Andy,
ReplyDeleteLooks like to me, that this CZ is going into the mountains (the one of the east puget sound lowlands area). Can we expect to get another CZ to kick up? It sounded to me that the NWS expected one to stay through maybe the whole night.
Not sure.
By the way, current weather on Union Hill in Redmond (600') is major snow, maybe some hail mixed in. Sticking everywhere. I don't have an official temperature, but the one I do have says 31*.
Brian, the CZ very very well last through tonight into possibly the after midnight hours of tomorrow as 925mb winds will still be converging from the south west and north west, but the CZ may slacken and dissipate sometime tomorrow morning as the northerly winds really start to take affect as the dryer air works it`s way in here.
ReplyDeleteDown below shows the 12z run at 925mb at 10pm tonights with winds converging over the central sound.
