Leading model showing ~6" of snow
Latest higher resolution model runs for Fri/Sat Snow in Snoqualmie and North Bend:
Euro ~6" (gap winds ~30 mph a factor, but not until Sat am)
UW ~2" to 3" (drying effect from gap winds)
NAM ~7"
Will update this evening. Est likely to change, perhaps significantly either way.
I'm leaning toward actual being closest to the first estimate (~6") as Euro has been excellent at predicting our gap winds and all models think we'll have plenty of precipitation around. Euro also has light snow creeping sooner then previously expected, perhaps beginning even before morning commute Friday-initially light snowfall but getting heavier as day goes on with bulk to accumulations later afternoon into evening.
A new development to start next week: as of now, Euro says Monday snow potential mostly a bust. Had shown 9" as recent as last night, now.. next to nothing. Honestly, that is too far our to even attempt a snow forecast for W WA.
