Cold day with a high/low of 22 F/9 F (-6 C/-13 C). The windchill got down to 1 F/-17 C. Forecast low of 9 F/-13 C tonight but the NWS has been underestimating the lows a lot lately so I would not be surprised if it gets colder than that.
Warming trend starting tomorrow with a high near freezing, Wednesday in the mid-40s and Thursday near 60 F/16 C. Wednesday night not forecast to even drop below freezing. Quite the roller coaster with temps.

Shortwave aloft bringing first significant rainfall in a while today  But otherwise ridging should build back in later this week, and perhaps predominate the next month as Ariete mentioned earlier:  |

More Record-Breaking Heat In Perth ( source: Weatherzone )  Perth is eyeing off another summer heat record this week with temperatures set to reach the high-thirties in the city for at least the next six days. Western Australia’s Lower West Coast has been no stranger to extreme heat this season. Perth has already registered 13 days at or above 40ºC so far this summer, which wallops the previous summer record of seven days from 2015/16. Now, the city is on track to also break the record for the number of days at or above 35ºC in a single summer. As of 9am on Tuesday, February 15, Perth had registered 25 days at or above 35ºC so far this season. The current record for summer in Perth is 31 days from 1977/78.  Based on current forecasts, Perth could reach or exceed 35ºC on each of the next six to nine days. This should allow the city to match the summer record of 31 days at or above 35ºC by Sunday and possibly break the record early next week. This summer’s unrivalled number of 40ºC and 35ºC days is exceptional becuase Perth has more than 120 years of historical observational records, with data available back to 1897. What Has Made This season So Hot In Perth? While Australia’s warming climate is likely to have played a role in this season’s extreme heat in Perth, there were several local weather factors that helped cause the record-breaking heat. La Niña played a role in this summer’s hot weather in Perth. While La Niña has caused relatively cool and wet weather over many parts of Australia this season, the county's west coast has sweltered with an abundance of sunshine and record-breaking heat. La Niña promotes extreme heat in WA because it is directly correlated with more periods of positive Southern Annular Mode (SAM). When the SAM is positive in summer, high pressure systems frequently sit further south and become more prominent over or to the south of Southern Australia. This abnormal pressure pattern pushes cold fronts further south than normal for this time of year.  Image: Mean Sea Level Pressure (MSLP) anomalies during January 2022 showing high pressure anomalies over southern Australia. Source: Bureau of Meteorology. When high pressure systems sit further south in summer, it directs prevailing easterly and northeasterly winds over southern parts of the continent. For eastern Australia, these easterly winds are usually moisture-laden and cool, causing days of cloud and rain. While for the nation's west coast, prevailing easterly winds are generally dry and hot, originating from the interior of Australia. The graph below shows that the SAM index has been predominantly positive so far this summer.  The SAM is expected to stay positive for the rest of February, as shown by the red lines on the graph above. This should help promote more warm weather in Perth in the final two weeks of the season. Another factor that has led to unusually high temperatures in Western Australia this summer was a slow start to the wet season in northwestern Australia. A lack of monsoonal cloud in December and January caused extremely hot airmasses to build up in the Pilbara and Kimberley. This hot air spread to other parts of Western Australia at times, including the state's southwest.  The peak of this season's heat saw Onslow Airport reach 50.7C on January 13, which was the equal highest temperature on record in the Southern Hemisphere. While Perth hasn't been quite this hot, it has certainly been a record-breaking season for the state's capital city. |

High and low today was 31 F/3 F (-1 C/-16 C). Not forecast to be quite as cold tonight with a low of 16 F/-9 C. Remarkably tomorrow night isn't even expected to drop below freezing as warmer air moves in.

Remarkably tomorrow night isn't even expected to drop below freezing as warmer air moves in. Above freezing lows can’t be that uncommon there in winter? Got to 60 (16 c) again today before a fun roller coaster pattern sets in. Should be in the low 30s with 2-3” of snow tomorrow before returning to the 50s and then a big cold blast coming through next week. |

As if last week's six consecutive days under 20 C wasn't enough (with one day under 14 C), Christchurch managed to pull another subantarctic rabbit out of its hat and had a day with a high of 12.6 C! Of course, that same day had over 40 mm of rain and icy cold Sou'westers. And this is during what is normally the warmest time of the year. Absolutely putrid.  |

With 55F temps forecasted the next two days, the long stretch of 42 days of snowcover is at risk  |

Well, it was nice finally having two days of driving on bare pavement after months of snow-and-ice covered streets, then it snowed again yesterday and covered it all up. Looks like we've got a brief warm-up with rain on Saturday before it turns to snow overnight and we plunge into another deep freeze on Sunday. This winter seems very on-and-off, just constantly fluctuating between deep freezes and warm-ups, and everytime we get shit cleared out another round of snowy and/or icy crap comes around to replace it. Very annoying.
The worst part is the parking lots and smaller streets, because it all started to melt and turn to slush over the weekend and then froze again afterwards, so we have these very large, thick, awkward ice ruts. I'm reaching the point where I'm having to actively avoid non-major streets because they're so bad. This has been the worst winter for road conditions in quite a while, can't wait for spring to come around and all that icy crap to finally melt away.

Rain, sleet, snow. Everything falling down the sky again today.
Same thing today. Hasn't eaten up much of the snowpack, and should start snowing again during the night. Winter is not over yet.

The north is taking the brunt of this storm. Weather warnings are in place, with blizzard conditions in some areas.
Looks like I'm in for a rough time on Friday.

Just notable to be going from a low single digit low to an above-freezing low in only two days. |
