Summer weather in PNW talk

[Chester B]

It’s like we went from summer straight to early winter. So cold. Only very light rain here for a few hours.

It looks like some major cold, or at least below average temperatures even, coming to the western USA later next week. This is the GFS run up until the 13th October. Meanwhile the eastern half bathes in unseasonable warmth…

Further afield some models are predicting an extended cold spell for the PNW due to early stratospheric warming, which will supposedly send cold Arctic air south. So a potential ‘polar vortex’ essentially, although given that it is only October now, it obviously won’t be that bad. It looks like below average temps will linger over the PNW for some time though, going by the models. Unseasonable warmth being predicted in Newfoundland and Europe. Of course it could all change between now and then. Nothing is certain.
