Oh! Good morning WP!

Maybe a stray wet flurry but mostly showers tomorrow night as precip is too light. Most moisture goes E and S.

Weatherpro drops in! Wow. What a day.

-5.4C here this morning. Clouds did keep temps up a little bit overnight. It has cleared out now though, so that means no snow tomorrow, too warm!

I'm glad to know in advance this time that nothing will happen. Any flakes that do fall are a bonus. Too bad so sad. I'll still say this winter was a success in that it overperformed compared to every single seasonal forecast.

I could not have been more wrong about February this year. I was ready to give up on this winter by the last 1/3 of January

I was joking about the sunshine impacting tomorrow’s potential. Weather it was sunny or cloudy today doesn’t really make a difference to what might happen tomorrow. Just looks too dry at this point.

Only got down to 0C last night. Winds gusting all night long.

Feels like that last upper low. Where it was too dry at the start of precip, then really wet snow that didn't stick to anything then the precip was done.

Looks really similar to that. Looks a little more unstable and showery behind this one though. Could see some heavy showers, hail and wet snow on Thursday.

This seems ripe for heavy graupel showers, especially on Thursday and Friday.
Seem to recall areas around Seattle having serious dumps of graupel sometime last couple early spring/late winter.

Not really about March weather, but this Scientic America article gives a wonderful clear explanation of the effect of global warming on the jet stream. March 2019 issue.

They had a big one last March, maybe even April. Several inches of graupel. Their PSCV makes those heavy types of events more common with cold onshore flow.
