From Cliff Mass:
Arctic Express Coming to the Northwest
If you live in western Washington, you might want to check that your heating system still works.
If you live in eastern Washington on the slopes of the Cascades, you might want to make sure you have a snow shovel.
If you live in western Montana, you might want to get your chains ready and stock up on food.
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.
Forecast to hit Friday. Glad I have a cord of wood laid in. Nice and seasoned.
