Rain

The Windy app and its various models have complicated my decision making processes!
Take HRRR, NAM and ECMWF and add the peak gusts together then divide by three….and pray the wind is close to that.
I agree, it gets complicated when the models vary so much.
This is how the different models where explained to me by a weather guru.
“The ECMWF, NAM, and HRRR are generally the most reliable around here but each process data differently because they were made by different companies/organizations. From those three the ECMWF or EURO for short is generally the most reliable but doesn't have as high of a resolution as the NAM and HRRR. Which means it can't "see" local topography such as water ways, mountains, and valleys as well”
Looks wet out there.

We're heading over the pass next week, I guess it's time to think about winter driving skills...
A comment about Windy and Windfinder - they work (once in a while).
No snow at the Homestead yet... but close!!! 39 the other morning, 40 today... but we made progress on RAIN
Next Tuesday looks wet. Even Monday does.

Yep, one of the streams I like in the fall has had real low water and the fish get real spooky at the current level. I want to get out there next week.Next Tuesday looks wet. Even Monday does.

Rain all day...
On a Tuesday no less.
Hell yes,Tuesday!
I think I also heard something slapping the side of my house.
I got the hatchet ready in case it was a big possum….quatch or gnome.
Excellent night as well for fuzzy moon pictures.

61 years ago today. Looks like the worst wind was over Oregon, but I know Puget Sound area got hit pretty hard as well.
I was too young, but any members here remember this storm?
It seems when people talk about PNW storms, the Columbus Day storm always comes up.

I remember it. Lots of trees down in south King county where we lived.

Yes, I remember it. Actually my earliest memory that I can recall. I was a year and a half old living on the cliff overlooking Bellingham bay. One of the houses circled in red.
Not a great place to be in a hurricane. Vaguely remember my sisters screaming, Mom freaking out and a loud slamming sound. Later explained that the roof was actually lifting, several inches, then slamming down again repeatedly. Apparently Dad (mechanical engineer) was rigging some kind of strapping to the trusses. The house survived and I'm here, so it must've worked.
Hapy Birthday!
I remember it quite well - my dad and I were camped up Bear Creek scouting out terrain for the upcoming deer season. At the time, dad had a 57 Chevrolet pickup with a small camper. He'd backed the truck into a clearing at the trailhead. Neither of us got much sleep that night, in hindsight, we were really lucky not to have had some trouble from falling trees. Other than clearing some branches, we were (and the truck) unscathed. But - we were trapped on a road that had so many blowdowns we couldn't get out - led to some good deer scouting.
By afternoon the road was cleared and dad pointed the truck back to Carlsberg. There were some amazing trees down along Lake Crescent.
Funny that this storm is the final allowable reference to Christopher Columbus in the PNW region
. I was not alive in 1962, but growing up in Oregon this storm was discussed every Fall. Teachers told stories about it at school. It walloped the Oregon coast and Willamette Valley. Very intense low pressure system hitting the coast on the perfect trajectory.
Not only is this thread not labeled NFR, but it is titled "Rain"...not "Wind"...
Standards are needed here, otherwise it becomes just another Dark Side, without Tuesdays.
Indigenous Peoples Day Storm...
Rolls right off the tongue.
It was surreptitiously called 'Dago Day' on the east coast when I was a kid...back when all the ethnic groups had a 'day', and we all hung out and ate a bunch of different to us food and played sports together in the backyards with our friends on those 'days'.
