Thanksgiving is behind us, and now Christmas awaits, and in between a busy few weeks. Travel can get sticky in the Northeast around the holidays, and everyone knows it, but what about the Northwest?
At 615PM, PT, Corvallis was reporting low clouds and fog, as well as a temperature of 32 degrees. Temperatures are undoubtedly suppressed by the low clouds, as near the coast it was 10 degrees warmer. The low blanket was seen inland, as flow was wrapping westward from an upper level ridge, and burying any moisture near the surface.
The ridge aloft is going to be reinforced by an off shore jet ridge over the next couple of days which will help fog and low clouds begin to burn off a little more efficiently, however the ridge started settling in earlier today, and if anything, the low level moisture has become even more pernicious. Still, expect the area to remain precipitation free, and eventually some sunshine will break through before the weekend arrives.

It’s been a while since a forecast didn’t show up. It looks like Clime is fully on the fritz, as I punched in a bunch of sits, and nothing appeared for me. Nothing is appearing for anyone in parts of Oregon this week, given the clouds and fog in the area, visible on satellite below.
