🥶🥶 COLD!

🥶🥶 COLD! 🥶🥶 Holy Icicles Batman it’s looking like it’s going to get real next week and beyond! Have you seen the latest ECMWF? I maybe a few IPAs deep but it’s not stopping me from geeking on these weather models and this is looking WILD!

Monday morning I’m seeing a decent burp of Siberian / Arctic air invading British Columbia with the Okanogan river valley doing its thing pulling cold air across the border into Spokane, east of the cascades and down into Oregon. We will feel it here too, but it’s tame compared to what’s to come…

later next week, another even colder burst of arctic air dives over BC and expands WEST out off of Alaska later next week — all of BC is looking to smash record lows all over the place from this polar lobe, and puget sound may be getting in on the records too — this second push will hit all PNW, no one will be spared as we are looking to enter the icebox 🧊 over the next week+

🏂 🏔️ ⛷️ ❄️

What everyone wants to know: will it snow? That’s what I’ll be watching here the next few model runs, just know that the potential is going to be there and things are going to get weird. It doesn’t take a massive system to drop snow here when it’s extremely cold at 10,000 feet.

Tbh we may see news headlines from this event, and ngl, as hype and fun as weather is, this may create some extreme and dangerous situations for some areas of the PNW - particularly east of the cascades.

More details coming this weekend — break out the gloves! ❄️ 🥶 and stay tuned! I’ll update as I see more.

Hope everyone had / is having a restful and warm thanksgiving holiday 🙏
