June Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[TT-SEA]

Retrogression!

 

Warm retrogression... the best kind!  

[Jesse]

[Deweydog]

Good lord...

[MossMan]

So you root for heat so you can avoid getting hot at all costs? Interesting.

No I embrace it!

[Jesse]

[MossMan]

By sitting in an air conditioned house or office.

And playing in the water! See pic above!

[Jesse]

Happy to see a widespread rainfall over the region today, as opposed to just the showery stuff. Even though it was on the lightish side.

[TT-SEA]

I sure hope Jesse is not using the furnace or any other source of heat during our frequent arctic blasts.

 

Cheering for cold just so you can live in your warm house? Blasphemy!

I would venture out in the cold for at least long enough to collect a snowball. Just like I will venture out in the heat long enough to collect a sweat puddle.

Are you planning to save a ziplock bag of your sweat from the upcoming heat event?

I naturally sweat when I workout so no need for a heat event to accomplish that.

There is a different quality to the sweat one accumulates while standing perfectly still.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Over 0.5" on the day. Nice soaking in June.

There's a third type of sweat that is also kinda like working out.

00z Euro delays the real hot stuff a bit, but goes crazy days 8-10.

Feels like it’s been stuck at D8 for awhile now.

Kinda like our arctic blasts in the winter anymore...anything inside day 8 gets nerfed or slides east.

[Tyler Mode]

Cleared out nicely in Battle Ground.  Dropped down to 40 degrees.

Day 10 showed 100+ from Tacoma to Roseburg... almost 100 at SEA... and even 91 in Bellingham.   

 

That is like showing a high of 20 with heavy snow on day 10 in the winter...  not very likely to happen.

Rex blocks are getting pretty hard to pull off at this point.

Was going to mention the same thing.

Where did I say it was likely? I was actually going to point out that the heat has been stuck at days 8-10 without moving up much the last few runs, but I didn’t want to start a hairsplitting map war that late.

[Jesse]

Cleared out fast last night. It was raining when we went to bed and now it’s almost totally clear.

 

Dropped to 45 with some fog in spots, which is cool to see this late in the year.

Just trying to make you feel better... sorry.

Sun is breaking out here as well... and it was raining pretty hard at midnight when I let the dog out.

I already threw up a few times last night when I saw the 24C line at 850 creep over the I-5 corridor at hour 240. The damage has been done.

[Geos]

0.61" of rain for the weekend. Sun peaking through the clouds this morning already. 45 for a low.

[Tyler Mode]

Great fog bow and glory visible this morning above Clark County.

.65 here for the weekend... and .58 down in the valley.

[Farmboy]

So was the troughing period you predicted. I remember watching the models during the lead up in May and they seemed to be stuck at day 9 for awhile... But it eventually got here.

Ginger helps with nausea.

You are starting to sound an awful lot like tigerwoods in the winter. #bsf

Hopefully that ridge doesn’t trend east!

 

“Like”

Had some thunder and lightning yesterday at about 5pm too. Thought maybe you would have gotten more than that.

[Farmboy]

Watching the sickly cut off low fading away on the 12z GFS reminds me of a sick horse that refuses to die. Some things should just be put out of their misery.

12Z GFS actually shows rain across eastern WA all weekend while it sunny on this side of the mountains.

 

And the 12Z GEM is even worse and brings in a new trough from the north next week.

 

Trend is not good.

Weird.

Well if the GFS is actually handling that cutoff properly, which seems unlikely, the result is actually a more stable ridging pattern in the long range.

That band faded out as it moved east.

[Farmboy]

Gonna be a lot riding on this morning's Euro..

Unless it keeps trending north and west... which does seem fairly likely based on how it usually works.
