00z is running!

 

Then you'd better go catch it!

[Jesse]

Looks like nights are about to start trending warmer.

Brace yourself, Winter is coming!

My first night back from paradise (NW Montana)

[TT-SEA]

Maybe here in the rain shadow, but you live in a pretty rainy location. 

 

Very normal here in the summer as well.   

[DareDuck]

This is the opposite pattern as last July when it was cooler east of the mountains.  

 

Ironically... the Seattle area was just about perfect either way.  

 

Yea a little too warm for my liking so far this summer. Not sure if there is anywhere in the country with nicer weather on average than the lowlands west of the Cascades the last 6 weeks.

Could happen tonight.

[VancouverIslandSouth]

It came close and looks like there was a shower that passed through but still no measurable precipitation. Some parts of town ended up with 0.06". Pretty warm overnight lows all around last night too.

Nothing up this way. Sunny and breezy this morning

Cloudy here, there was definitely a rain shower as everything seems damp just not enough to register with any rain gauges. Looks like there's some heavier stuff over the lower mainland this morning.

[Front Ranger]

Looks like OLM and BLI picked up a little rain. Other than that, nothing at the major stations.

[stuffradio]

I'm at .23 inches of rain so far.

[TT-SEA]

Light rain for the last hour here... at least enough to settle the dust.

[Deweydog]

Mixing with snow here.

[Front Ranger]

PDX has lost the battle for a 60+ low free July.

[Jesse]

Friend in town just texted me that it's raining there. At least out in Camas.

[Jesse]

Anyone else having issues with the Euro loading?

[TT-SEA]

No...

I mean the real Euro site.

[Jesse]

This is all I have been getting the last few days when I try to view the models on the actual Euro site:

[Phil]

Works fine for me too.

[TT-SEA]

Tiny cell over my area... but its really pouring right now.

Looks like it's your winning personality.

[Jesse]

Clear your browser cache?

Tried that a bit ago. Looks like it worked.

It's funny how much you hate me.

[Phil]

Between now and July 31st, Seattle loses something like 22mins of daylight. Only 8.4 weeks until the autumnal equinox.

[TT-SEA]

Up to 71 at SEA now... might end up with no high temperature below 70 for July.   Also a possibility that there is no high above 90.   

 

Every high temp this month so far at SEA has been between 70-85.

This climate sucks.   I need to move to a place in the northern hemisphere that does not lose daylight during the last 10 days of July.

There's nothing funny about hate.

When I arrive on Sunday, should I expect brown grass and a dry landscape?

 

My uncle in Everett says everything is still relatively lush compared to last year and the year before, FWIW.

[Jesse]

You find a way to make it funny.

[TT-SEA]

I cannot imagine anything is lush right now... even in the frigid Everett area.   

 

Does he live close to the water?   Are you going explore the area outside of Everett?  

 

Here is a live view of I-5 in Everett.   Looks pretty brown to me...

 

[TT-SEA]

Another traffic cam from Everett... if this is lush according to your uncle then he might suffer from the same hyperbole disorder as his nephew.

That looks like my lawn, lol.

 

He does live in a wooded area with large Douglas firs. I guess I'll find out for myself shortly.

Well... an area in deep shade is probably still lush and is always lush regardless of the weather.   But that is a poor description of current conditions overall.   Most lawns will be very brown.

Hyperbole disorder, lol.

 

I think you might have it, too.

No doubt.

To answer your other question, we might be visiting other extended family in the vicinity of your area on Monday before we we depart for Vancouver, BC on Tuesday. We return July 31st and will be hanging around through August 1st thereafter.

 

We depart for Sarasota, FL late in the evening on August 1st.
