EPS does show colder air working south on this run. Also shows a heat wave on the east coast. A blast furnace by January standards

Rain at times heavy 40 to 50 mm

Yeah okay there EC been fairly dry

There should be some very heavy rain overnight as the warm front lifts north. But it’ll be heavily dependent on orographics and mostly focused closer to the mountains

Getting heavy rain here now.
Raining on the ski hills as well. Lame.
Radar looks f'd up as usual. Such a garbage coverage for our area.

2.0c out here, my winds are still out of the N/NE just seeing if once it swings around to S/SW how much of a temperature jump I get whenever that happens.

Certainly windy here in Bellingham right now. Yesterday night was interesting. Went into a meeting and it was in the thirties F with cold rain. Came out and it was around 50 and getting breezy.
