February 2021 Forecasts and Discussions

[Forrest Gump]

Compared to the 18z 3km NAM, we are definitely a couple of hours ahead of schedule. Hopefully that means the lower levels saturate a bit quicker.

That's what I was thinking. Clouds are thickening, as the plot thickens.

What's everyone thinking by 10pm Saturday?

My call:

Eastern Metro Vancouver: 7-10cm
Western Metro Vancouver: 10-15cm
Fraser Valley: 5-10cm
South Island: 20cm+


I will probably be wrong.

Western Metro Vancouver: 12 cm
Eastern Metro Vancouver: 8 cm
Fraser valley: 3 cm
South island: 23 cm

Seems like it will be arriving in Richmond in an hour or so. Let’s see.

That stuff won't reach the ground. It'll take a few hours to saturate.

I think.

Outflow winds look weak so far,at least here anyways.

[Pomoman]

My guess is precip showing on the radar will be shredded the second it approaches the mainland. At least for 4 to 6 hours is my guess. Haven’t much of a clue about what I speak compared to you nerds (and cow?) but the dry outflow is still there despite that it isn’t windy right now.

Dry layer above the LM extends up to 2000m. If you want it to snow sooner...I suggest you aim water guns at the sky.

What if we go outside and just spit? Will that help?

Spit or pee....as long as you do it away from anyone.

Do you think the HRRR is overdoing the east wind effect?

I think it’s overdoing any upslope that it’s seeing on the hills

[Monty]

You can see the snow creeping down the hills here as the sun sets.

You're going to get smoked. Looking forward to seeing the totals.
