WASN'T
WASN'T DAMAGED >> SO IT WAS ALL GOOD.
GOOD.
GOOD. ALL
GOOD. ALL RIGHT .
THIS IS SUPER INTERESTING.
THIS WEATHER SITUATION ITSELF
IS INTERESTING BUT SOME OF THE
THINGS WE'RE SEEING ARE REALLY
PRETTY UNUSUAL.
PRETTY UNUSUAL. IT'S TWENTY SIX UP AT
TIMBERLINE THEY'VE HAD AT LEAST
A FOOT OF SNOW UP THERE.
MEANWHILE IN PORTLAND AT THE
AIRPORT IT'S ALSO TWENTY SIX
NOT OFTEN ESPECIALLY IN WINTER
.
.
. DO
. DO YOU
. DO YOU SEE THAT WHERE IT'S THE
SAME TEMPERATURE DOWN AT SEA
LEVEL BASICALLY AND THEN ALSO
UP AT SIX THOUSAND FEET IT'S
ALSO WE'RE ACTUALLY COLDER
DOWNTOWN.
DOWNTOWN.
DOWNTOWN. WE'RE AT TWENTY FOUR DEGREES SO
REALLY REALLY INTERESTING
AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM WHEN YOU
GET THAT WARM LAYER OF LIFE
RELATIVELY WARM THAT'S WHEN YOU
END UP WITH FREEZING RAIN
BECAUSE THE PRECIPITATION
STARTS TO SNOW ALMOST ALL THE
TIME EVEN IN SUMMER AND THEN IT
MELTS INTO RAIN AS IT COMES
DOWN.
DOWN.
DOWN. AND
DOWN. AND IF IT'S ALL JUST WARM
AND ABOVE FREEZING IT STAYS
THIS RAIN.
THIS RAIN. BUT WHAT HAPPENS IS THOSE
RAINDROPS FALL INTO SUBFREEZING
AIR.
AIR.
AIR. THEY
AIR. THEY EITHER REFREEZE ON THE WAY
DOWN.
DOWN.
DOWN. SO
DOWN. SO THAT'S HOW YOU GET ICE
PELLETS OR SLEET OR THEY FREEZE
ON CONTACT IF THEY HAVEN'T HAD
ENOUGH TIME TO FREEZE ON THE
WAY DOWN AND THAT'S WHEN YOU
GET FREEZING RAIN.
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF MOISTURE
ROLLING ON IN TO PRODUCE ALL
TYPES OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS
WESTERN OREGON AS WE GO INTO
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT.
TONIGHT. SO IT'LL BE RAMPING UP.
NOTICE THE RADARS ALONG THE
COAST HERE REALLY BEGINNING TO
PICK UP NOW WILL BE MORE COMING
IN TONIGHT WITH THIS NEXT BAND
AND THE EVENTUALLY THE COLD
FRONT COMING ON THROUGH DOPPLER
RADAR IS REALLY INTERESTING.
IT'S SHOWING US THE ROUGHLY
WHERE THE RAIN SNOW LINE IS
AND IT'S RIGHT ALONG THE WEST
HILLS AND SOUTH OF THERE SOUTH
OF REALLY ABOUT THE FIVE, FOUR
OR FIVE JUNCTION IT'S A MIX OR
IT'S FREEZING RAIN AND SLEET
NORTH THERE NORTH OF EIGHTY
FOUR ESPECIALLY IT'S MAINLY
JUST SNOW AND THEN EAST TOWARDS
THE GORGE AND NORTH UP INTO
CLOUD CLARK COUNTY THERE'S
ALREADY BEEN THREE THREE AND A
HALF INCHES OF SNOW IN
BATTLEGROUND AND IN SO THEY'RE
GETTING ALL THE SNOW RIGHT NOW.
PORTLAND IS KIND OF A MIX SOUTH
OF PORTLAND.
OF PORTLAND. IT'S MAINLY ICE TEMPERATURES
THERE BELOW FREEZING.
SO FOR THAT REASON THERE'S AN
ICE STORM WARNING UP.
DON'T SEE THAT VERY OFTEN FOR
THE WILLAMETTE VALLEY UNTIL
WELL PARTS OF THE WILLAMETTE
VALLEY, THE MID VALLEY FROM
BASICALLY THE YAMHILL COUNTY
WASHINGTON COUNTY BORDER SOUTH
PARTS THE SOUTHWEST PARTS
OF CLACKAMAS COUNTY AND DOWN
INTO MARIN COUNTY AND POLK
COUNTY AND POINTS SOUTH
AND THEN EVEN OVER TOWARDS THE
CENTRAL COAST RANGE TO THE EAST
OF NEWPORT.
OF NEWPORT. THAT'S TILL NOON TOMORROW ARE
WINTER STORM WARNING HERE
CONTINUES UNTIL NOON TOMORROW
AS WELL AND THEN WE'LL BEGIN TO
SEE THINGS TAPER OFF DURING THE
DAY MUCH OF OREGON UNDER A
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY OR A
WINTER STORM WARNING INCLUDING
THE NORTH COAST.
NOW YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO
GET SOME ICING GOING ON THERE
AGAIN AS THE SYSTEM CONTINUES
TO BASH ITS WAY INLAND
AND OVERRIDE THIS REALLY COLD
AIR THAT CAME OUT OF THE GORGE
THE OTHER DAY.
SO HERE'S WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON
OUR MODELING.
OUR MODELING. WE'LL GO THROUGH THIS TOGETHER.
YOU CAN SEE THIS KIND
OF INCREASE AND THE RAIN
PATTERN HERE JUST A BIT IN SOME
OF OUR MODELING.
BUT I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE
MAINLY SNOW FOR PORTLAND AS WE
GO INTO THE DAY TOMORROW
AND THEN SUNDAY WILL EVENTUALLY
PUSH OUT AND GET INTO RAIN.
THAT'S MONDAY AT ONE O'CLOCK
AND BY THEN WE WILL BE RAIN.
THE GORGE WILL STILL BE HOLDING
ON TO SOME SNOW AT THAT POINT
THE MODELS, BY THE WAY, OFTEN
HAVE THEY'VE HAD A TOUGH TIME
WITH THE SNOWFALL FORCAST BUT
THEY HAVE A REALLY TOUGH TIME
FORECASTING WHEN IT'S GOING TO
WARM UP ENOUGH TO GET OUT
OF SNOW AND FREEZING RAIN
BECAUSE THAT LOW LEVEL COLD AIR
IS A REALLY TOUGH THING FOR
THEM TO GET A GRIP ON.
BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT FIVE
INCHES OF SNOW FIVE, SIX MAYBE
A LITTLE BIT MORE IN PORTLAND
BY THE TIME WE ROLL INTO
TOMORROW AND A FEW MORE INCHES
DURING THE DAY AND THEN OVER IN
HOOD RIVER A COUPLE OF FEET
MOUNT HOOD OFF THE POWDER FROM
WHAT I HEAR HAS JUST BEEN
FANTASTIC TODAY AND THAT'S
CONTINUE.
CONTINUE.
CONTINUE. THIS IS THE MAP THAT CONCERNS
ME THE MOST.
THIS IS OUR ICE ACCUMULATION
MAP AND LOOK AT ALL THE PLACES
ARE BEING MODELED TO GET OVER
AN INCH OF ICE MCMINNVILLE,
MONMOUTH, NEWBURGH, EVEN AS FAR
NORTH AS TIGARD IN CLACKAMAS.
SO AGAIN THAT ICE SITUATION IS
THE BIG CONCERN OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT AND TOMORROW AND IT'S
ICING ON OUR LENS IN DOWNTOWN
PORTLAND RIGHT NOW.
SO AGAIN WE ARE GETTING SLEET
AND FREEZING RAIN.
TWENTY SIX DEGREES I HAVEN'T
SEEN MANY SNOWFLAKES OUT MY
WINDOW LATELY AND THAT'S
CONCERNING BECAUSE THAT MEANS
WE'RE SEEING MORE SLEET
AND FREEZING RAIN.
SO WE'LL GO FOR THE SNOW
AND ICE TONIGHT IN PORTLAND,
THE WEST HILLS TO DOWNTOWN A
GOOD BORDER NORTH AND EAST
OF THERE.
OF THERE.
OF THERE. MORE SNOW SOUTH AND WEST
OF THERE, MORE WINDS IN THE
GORGE.
GORGE.
GORGE. WE'LL CONTINUE OF COURSE WE'LL
MAKE ABOUT THIRTY ONE TOMORROW
.
.
. WE'LL
. WE'LL GO FOR A HIGH OF THIRTY
THREE ON SUNDAY WHATEVER THE
HIGH IS ON SUNDAY THAT'LL BE
THE LOW ON MONDAY AS
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO
WARM WARM AS PART OF THE DAY
WILL BE RIGHT AROUND MIDNIGHT
SUNDAY NIGHT FOR SUNDAY
VALENTINE'S DAY THEN NEXT WEEK
WE GET OUT OF IT WE ACTUALLY
GET ONE DRY DAY ON WEDNESDAY
BUT AT LEAST WE'RE GOING BACK
TO VALLEY RAIN AND MOUNTAIN
SNOW AND NO
