Ok, so this is my first post for this event. Im going to track the storm and post my thoughts and observations throughout this Arctic Event within the next couple of days. Im pretty excited for our first chance to see really cold air filter through the area. As you know, or should know, the perfect setup will occur that will allow a bunch of cold modified arctic air on the east side of the state filter throughout the NW interrior of Oregon starting Sunday Afternoon/Evening. I was hoping for a snow event before the arctic air but that didn't happen. Looking at observations it looks like the freezing level is at 2,000ft in NW Oregon (Coast Range) Current temp here in McMinnville is 40.8 round it off to 41 degrees F at 3:24 PM. Dewpoint is 38 while a SE wind blows at 5-12mph. So everything is looking right on track, don't mind the cold rain for now. Here's some links to enjoy:
