Forget Juneau... Sitka is heaven.    Ideal summer weather.

Man, this forum sometimes... :huh:

 

Anyways, after such a long stretch of hot and sunny weather, today certainly felt like the beginning of fall even though it was a fairly average summer day. :lol:

Today would have been a fairly typical mid-September day in Portland.

Models are trending more ridgy for the weekend and early next week... trough seems to zip by us through BC on Friday now which is earlier than previous runs.

 

This should be beneficial for the eclipse viewing on Monday.   Here is the 12Z GFS for that morning... this looks it would be fairly sunny for most areas.

Euro continues to look progressive, with glancing blows of coolish weather but no deep troughing.

 

 

Seems like we are getting back to our Goldilocks summer again... after a 10-day excursion into smoky hell and heat.

It is looking likely that this will be BCs worst fire season on record in terms of area burned. Currently at 2.09 million acres, it is just 25,000 acres short of the 1958 record.

 

The 415,000 acre Elephant hill fire is now just ~4 miles from my family's place at Watch lake.

ECMWF ensemble mean and the ECMWF control run indicate a possible trough in about a week and then both show the 4-corners high expanding westward again for maybe another round of heat towards the end of August.

Man that sucks

 

Not too bad... fairly variable and probably some more rain in a week.   Heat at the end of August and into September does not feel like heat in June and July... nights are longer and usually cooler and the sun angle is significantly lower.

So more like warm in afternoon and cools off quickly in evening. I can live with that

Seattle heat doesn't feel like real heat anyway. I bet evenings are perfect there when it gets warm in August and September, at least after the sun sets.
