@SeattleWXGuy @CliffMass michael...you are not correct. AGAIN, the PDO is decadal, not annual in nature. You need to look at the overall envelope, not the annual values. Want proof that I am correct? We did not have a record high water level for the 15/16 el nino....cliff

@SeattleWXGuy @CliffMass michael...you are making scientific errors. The PDO is decadal in nature and you need to look beyond short-term spikes...cliff

[LocalClimateWeatherPerson @LocalClim]

@SeattleWXGuy @CliffMass Please reread my blog..

[LocalClimateWeatherPerson @LocalClim]

@SeattleWXGuy @CliffMass Michael. you are making an error. For the PDO is the long-term variability that counts (search on this, you will see I am right). The fact that a short period went positive is not important...the 20 years around it were cold. PLEASE CALL ME and I will explain the dynamics..cliff

[LocalClimateWeatherPerson @LocalClim]

@SeattleWXGuy Michael.... you are wrong about this for many reasons. For example, the PDO state today is different from 97/98 and that makes a HUGE difference. Anyway, I wish you would not call names and do what scientists do, respectfully try to understand different viewpoints..cliff

[LocalClimateWeatherPerson @LocalClim]

@SeattleWXGuy Read my new blog...it will answer your questions!

[LocalClimateWeatherPerson @LocalClim]

@SeattleWXGuy Michael....you are not correct. I was talking about THIS EVENT...and I showed the proof. You need to be more careful before going negative like this. PLEASE..cliff

[LocalClimateWeatherPerson @LocalClim]

@SeattleWXGuy @KooyVander @CliffMass You are not correct about this. The contribution of snowmelt was less than 20%. I wrote a published paper on this event and know it well. There are other papers that agree with my conclusions. The data is clear... snowpack was a minor contributor to the westside flooding.

@SeattleWXGuy @CliffMass You are uninformed and wrong. I have confirmed what I stated with two leading local hydrologists. I have read the literature. Have you done either? You are not a meteorologist nor a hydrologist. If you even bothered to ask Google AI you would not have made this mistake

michael...there are essential, serious flaws in your analysis. Check my blogs on this topic, and perhaps you will realize the mistakes...cliff

@SeattleWXGuy @CliffMass michael...you are totally wrong. Go to the NW fire center website and LOOK AT THE MOISTURE LEVELS WHEN THE FIRES STARTED. You will see I am correct..cliff

[LocalClimateWeatherPerson @LocalClim]

@SeattleWXGuy @CliffMass michael....that is simply wrong. There is a lot of evidence that the seatac temps are too high. I have blogged about it several times, showing the evidence based on many events. Others have done the same thing..such as past state climatologist Mark Albright. ..cliff

[LocalClimateWeatherPerson @LocalClim]

@SeattleWXGuy @CliffMass Michael.... you are not correct. As a flight dispatcher, you should know that SeaTac runway site has a warm bias and that nearby locations were cooler. Not a bad forecast at all....cliff

@BenJurkovichWX @CliffMass Ben...it is now burning into trees, but it has been mainly a grass/range vegetation fire. ..cliff

[LocalClimateWeatherPerson @LocalClim]

@StewarrMark @CliffMass You are totally wrong. My point is that lightning strikes were sparse on the eastern slopes...proof below. BTW...can you stop the name calling? Bad look..cliff

[LocalClimateWeatherPerson @LocalClim]

@SeattleWXGuy @CliffMass Michael...you are not correct.... very sparse on the eastern slopes. See the 48-h lightning map below for proof..cliff
