"Arctic Express" Coming To The Northwest This Weekend

Sippy · Sep 26th 2019

An unusually early and intense Arctic express will hit the region this weekend. And our days of Blob warmth will be over for a while.

Let me start by showing you a stunning image from the NOAA/NWS Climate Prediction Center (CPC)--their 6-10 day forecast for temperature. Specifically, it gives the probabilities of below normal (blue) and above normal (red) temperatures.

Wow--- my colleagues in NOAA are quite sure that below-normal temperature will reign along the entire West Coast as well as the northern Plains States.

This cold front hit us today, forecast is -6C tonight and snow in higher elev areas especially around the Rockies.

wow, I took a look. I wonder how cold it's going to get in the northwest. For where I'm at, I welcome it. I want "winter" lol,

I bet you're looking forward to cooler weather, the SW has had brutal heat over the summer. I'm heading out west Monday morning, Bella Coola area should be interesting. Def. have my winter tires on before I go.

so it's going to be winter conditions pretty much it sounds like. As far as the Summers go where I'm at in Southern California it's always super mild. We rarely get hot over here but we do have our days where it will get 90 and 100 degrees. Then about three days later it drops back down to the 70s or low to mid-80s most of the time.
