-4°F in Portland, Oregon would break city all-time record low only months after setting all-time record high.
It's 8-days away -- uncertain -- but I'm shocked that this "could" happen in 2021's climate.

All-time record lows usually are untouchable because of the late 1800s like 1888, just like the all-time hot records during the Dust Bowl. But, the Pacific Northwest & California are going to give it a good try.
Earlier GFS had -12°F and EPS ensemble had -16°F for Portland breaking record low by a mile.
The actual extremes possible in today's climate are beyond what we have observed, both cold and hot -- so-called counterfactuals.
Fascinating.

Another counterfactual example -35°F in Spokane destroying the -30°F sitting on the record books since 1888.
I'm not saying at all that this will verify, not my point. But, these ensemble realizations in today's climate are invaluable mini-attribution experiments.
