April Weather in the Pacific Northwest

Recommended Posts

Wind kept up all night out here. I wasn’t expecting that. We didn’t drop much below 55.

 

Gotta wonder if it could be a mitigating factor later today.

Never shut down at my house. I didn't sleep a wink to verify.

My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

The weekend starts Friday morning? The period you were talking about is 4-8 days out...feel free to "lock it in" if you like.

 

The weekend starts on Friday afternoon... about 80 hours away now.    

 

We are not talking about the 6-10 day period here.

Whatever. You were talking about the weekend all the way through Tuesday.

 

Even if you want to call it 3-7 day period, the models have struggled in that time frame.

A forum for the end of the world.

Sure... but the agreement between the ECMWF and WRF is compelling evidence.   And it makes sense given how the pattern is likely to evolve through Tuesday.

Lol, every pattern “produces sun” during summer. It’s a perpetual roast. Cloudy days are essentially nonexistent from Memorial Day to Labor Day unless there’s a hurricane nearby. We do get afternoon and evening convection, but that’s usually hit/miss, and it just makes things more humid by adding water to the soil. And the convection doesn’t usually start until 1-3pm, so it’s sunny and roasting for most of the day anyway.

 

Our “low humidity” summer pattern is actually the sunniest pattern. It requires W/NW flow, which produces downslope warming/drying. So those days with lower humidity often soar into the low/mid 90s even with colder thermals aloft. Our humid patterns are the opposite, with temperatures often cooler (mid/upper 80s) thanks to the moisture and convection starting earlier in the day.

I always forget that us west coasters are really the only ones that have to deal with the pesky marine layer. The dreaded June Gloom as the locals here say.

From 59 to 68 in just over an hour. Should hit 70 before 11am at this pace.

KPTV weather blog is talking about thunderstorms thurs/Fri but there comments are censored a lot now so I have no idea if it's legit or if they are just hypecasting.  What are the true odds?  I wager that "marine layer" will kill it all as it usually goes but we tend to get a few flashes often to our NW when this does occur. Last summer we had a few flashes and rumbles for 5 mins when Lane County was under a T-storm watch.

Gonna be tough to get above 80 with the blowhardedness.

I was thinking the same thing, just based on how it felt when I walked outside ten minutes ago.

 

My guess is they will still get there but mid-80s are looking less likely.

God willing... we will be embarking on another warm spell one week from right now.      It will be just in its infancy stage at that point... but with much promise and potential.

Would be perfect timing to move into our new house!
