Nice day today

Today was a pretty nice day here in my area with my high getting up to a balmy 59 degrees with partly cloudy skies. However, as some of you may be aware, it was pretty BREEZY to WINDY here in many areas during the per-dawn dawn hours as a semi-deep low rode up the OR/ WA coast that rode on the tail end of the Original low that is now just a mere blob of clouds SEVERAL hundred miles off the west coast. But that is behind us now.

What we are left with is a some what unstable air mass with spotty showers around. Much like today if you were under any. And if you see on the enhanced inferred satellite imagery of tonight(9pm update), there is an area of weak low pressure currently off the Southern OR/ Northern California coast. Per OPC(Ocean Prediction Center) this area of low pressure is proged to move NNWRD up the off shore waters of the OR/WA coast a little bit over next day or so and then dissipate as an even weaker low as it sinks back southward due to the forecasted trough possibly coming down from the north later this week. So over next couple days, we should see some showers at times with S-SSW flow at the surface and aloft. With this flow aloft, highs should be mild with highs in the 50`s. Mid-upper 50`s depending on how much sunshine you get. So showers and some sunbreaks seems a pretty good bet.

And then as mentioned above, there is the forecasted deep and cold trough over the weekend, that if it does land over our region as shown, we could be looking at some rather low snow levels with spotty lowland snow. With such a COLD upper level low shown to slide over us over the weekend, there is also the possibility of convective type showers that could produce some ice pellet showers. Though one thing is for sure and if nothing else, the moutains will surely be getting snow at times, though perhaps not heavy, but the shower type variety. So could be an interesting weekend taken for what the models are worth. But on the other hand, GEM/EURO are kinda ridgy for later this week. So we`ll see how things go.

Okay, think I`ve said enough about the models for tonight, but go ahead and post and feel free to comment, ask questions, post weather obs, ect. Have fun!
