Cliff Mass Climate Weblog: A Winter Storm is Approaching: In Could!


This Could we’re experiencing winter-like ranges of precipitation, winter-like will increase within the snowpack, and record-breaking cool temperatures.

The one factor lacking is a winter-like Pacific storm, with deep low strain and powerful winds.

Properly, it will not be lacking tomorrow:   a robust Pacific cyclone will make landfall on the British Columbia coast and gusty, damaging winds might batter the coast and Northwest Washington.

Even Puget Sound nation will get a chunk of it.

The low middle might be making landfall on northern Vancouver Island at about 8 AM tomorrow (Wednesday), as proven by the expected sea stage strain map at the moment (see beneath).


The strong strains are isobars, strains of fixed strain.  The place there are massive gradients (massive change in strain), sturdy winds are anticipated.  People, there are a LOT of isobars there.

Winds might be ferocious over the ocean, with gusts close to the low middle reaching 50-70 mph.  

I hope no Alaska cruise ships might be traversing the area tomorrow morning.  It would dampen the appetites of the passengers.😊

Check out the expected wind gusts at 5 AM Wednesday.  Over 50 mph over the Pacific and throughout parts of Northwest Washington.  Going to be very windy within the San Juans, Victoria, and the japanese Strait of Juan de Fuca.

After which because the low middle strikes eastward throughout southern BC, sturdy winds will surge eastward into the Strait of Juan de Fuca and winds will gust round Puget Sound (see the forecast wins at 2 PM Wednesday)

The newest wind forecasts over Seattle point out the wind potential for Wednesday morning and afternoon (see beneath).  The crimson line is from the UW high-resolution forecast system…and is normally probably the most skillful.  It’s predicting gusts exceeding 40 mph in uncovered areas over Seattle.  With leaves on the timber, anticipate some branches to fall.

How traditional is it to get such an occasion in Could?  

Fairly uncommon.  This determine beneath exhibits the forecast pressures at 11 PM tonight at round 800 meters above sea stage (strong line) in addition to the standardized anomalies of the winds at that stage (colours).  Such anomalies from climatological situations are expressed in normal deviations and are quantitative measures of how traditional a climate occasion is.   Impressively, the wind anomalies climb to five normal deviations, which suggests unprecedented within the 30-year interval used within the calculations.
