Yay for Chaos Theory!

Now that's what I call an ensemble mean plot!






That's day 7, by the way.

Two questions...

1. How cold will it get?
That depends on how long it takes to move the trough along the BC/WA/OR coasts (associated with the SSW digging vort-maxes) down south and east of the region. If it moves out quick enough, the brunt of the cold air will come straight down over Seattle and Portland. I'm banking on a slower solution, allowing the modified remains of the cold air to punch their way in. Seattle will probably have at least a day or two with highs below 35°F, and lows in the lower-to-mid 20s. Portland... not sure yet. I'd guess next Sunday or Monday will have a high in the lower to mid 30s, with lows in the mid 20s.

2. Snow?
Definitely, probably, and maybe. Definitely in Bellingham. Probably in Seattle. Maybe in Portland.
