June Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[TT-SEA]

12Z EPS matches the ECMWF operational run.     Same with the control run.

 

Technically still troughy on the 4th of July... but focused to the northeast and this would be a set up for really pleasant weather for western WA and OR (mostly sunny and in the 70s).

Hope we see some run to run consistency now...

Sounds good!

[TT-SEA]

Sounds good!

 

 

Yes... at face value it would be beautiful.   As long as it does not keep trending in the wrong direction.   

[SilverFallsAndrew]

No doubt!

 

Its going to look like early May in my area heading into the 4th of July.  

 

Hope summer arrives on schedule by July 5th.  

 

Summer started in May here. Going to be another endless golden summer. Your name must be Eyore because you have a permanent cloud.

As long as we don't have extended periods above 90-95 I am totally fine with a random hot day here and there and generally sunny weather. Just hope it is a little cooler this summer...

Don't know what to tell you... its been wet up here this year.   And there has been significant rain in the last couple weeks to keep it lush green... all the way up to Randy's area and eastward into the Cascades.   

 

 

We got dumped on again last night.   So did Seattle and most places to the north.   Geos is over .50 for today alone in the Kirkland area.  

 

And the same area will heavily targeted again later this week and into the weekend. 

 

The rich get richer and we are not allowed to share.   Wish we could.

I totally agree with you here.

 

And I love getting a good soaking rain every week.   Particularly when it comes at night like it has been recently.  

[Geos]

It's a cool day when it is 60 at 2 pm on one of the longest days of the year.

Thanks a lot to the persistent set ups from the PSCZ's this spring and early summer. They have been persistent in setting up across Everett/Mulkiteo to North Bend/Carnation orientations or more straight west to east in the southern half of Snohomish County. 

 

It has left most of Seattle and Bellevue in the high and dry.

Not that different in Seattle. We just have several people in unusually rainy microclimates that post a lot on here. 

 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Beautiful day in Springfield. Looks like most of the region is dry.

[Phil]

This works. At least in didn't trend Phil-a-bolic on us...

I have my weather manipulation device set to “maximum troughing” in the PNW. Won’t take long to trend back to the deep ULL solution.

It's been partly sunny and dry here all afternoon too.

 

And it's been anomalously wet this year in the rainy microclimates!

[MossMan]

This ones for you, Phil! We are burning up over here!

It flip flopped so much from yesterday it could just go back to the hot solution.

Seems unlikely... all 3 models basically agree now.

[TT-SEA]

Live view from this anomalously wet rainy microclimate.... have not watered the grass even once this year which is unusual at this point.

 

[El Nina]

Seems unlikely... all 3 models basically agree now.

Didn't they all agree on warmth yesterday?

[Front Ranger]

The 4 corners high seems to be a pretty dominant feature in the LR ensembles.

GFS has never been warm. Luckily it's the absolute superior model and proving it now!

[El Nina]

Hopefully it's far enough east so we won't be in a complete blast furnace.

[Geos]

Made it up to 65 with a little sun. 

 

2.46" of rain with some likely before we flip to July. Should get over 3" for the month by the looks of it. I can't remember what last June was for rainfall, but I know it was under an inch. 

[Farmboy]

It seems like the 18z gfs is trying to monkey hammer that trough on us on July 4th...

Cool snapshot timeline of the lightning last night over the northern Puget Sound.

The four corners high becoming dominant in early July.

Bit cool. But it doesn't look like a soaker at least at this point.

I am okay with the 2M temps on the 4th and the fact it stays dry.

Yeah, looking at the 500mb maps, it doesn't seem to make any real headway, it just kind of sits there for a few frames...

Right - now if it were to plow southeast more then we'd be talking about a more miserable day. But even under 850 mb temps like that, the surface is still nearing 70.

 

 

One year ago today, it was in the mid to upper 90s area wide.

Yesterday was very warm at the 850mb level... high was 79 at SEA.   Today we have a deep trough and much colder air... high was 71.

They all can't be July 1985...

 

It's pretty rare though not to have it become a pretty regular player on the field over the next couple weeks.

[Perturbed Member]

Yeah we've been having incredibly stormy weather literally right up until the day you arrived and now we're getting a short 3 day break before the rain/storm onslaught returns right after you depart! Real bad timing if you wanted to see some storms. 

 

Bozeman, MT just sounds like it is the solution to all the troubles of a PNW weather geek.

 

Did all the snow in the winter ever get boring for you or is it still awesome?
