How troughy did I say it would be?

IIRC, I went out of my way to highlight the fact it wouldn’t be anything extraordinary or anomalous. Ridging will return in late June, and last through at least the middle of July. Then tropical forcing will eventually return to the EHEM in the third or fourth week of July. Rinse, repeat.

Tim, what if it is 80 in Western Washington on the 4th of July but it's cloudy all day?  You gonna be okay or naahhh?

 

If it was 80 then there would be at least filtered sun... which would be fine.   And some clouds would be great for the evening to hold in the warmth.  ;)

Drizzle fest continues for Snohomish a good part of King County from I-90 northward this morning.    Looks like it went all night.

Heavy drizzle here in Puyallup after a week or more of non stop cloudy gloom.

 

 

Not quite a week yet.    But its been seriously gloomy for a long time for summer.

 

At least there is a good chance of some afternoon sun the next two days before summer finally returns on Tuesday.

Glad to see you got some rain down there.

 

SEA got almost nothing of course... but there has been plenty of rain around the area.

I was going to mention that... you did really good with the call for the late May through mid June troughing but not good on the call for ridging afterwards.

 

It been fairly troughy up here since the last week of May.

That is what it showed.   I was not making it up.

 

Turned out to be wrong.   As you have said... this pattern is very stubborn and any change keeps getting pushed out.

12z ICON shows showers around fireworks time.

 

 

ECMWF also hinted at a little convection over the central Cascades on Wednesday evening.

 

The ICON has trended west and weaker with ULL since the 12Z run yesterday.   It was just as wet as the GFS yesterday morning.    It is much improved now.

It definitely has been trending to the SW. I little convection wouldn’t be too surprising with that setup. I remember one summer, late 90’s possibly, when an ULL spun off the coast for several days and we saw 4 consecutive warm sunny days followed by evening thunderstorms. An unprecedented feat for this area.

12Z GFS is just slightly farther to the south and west with the ULL on the 4th compared to its 00Z run and its a little warmer.   So the trend is still good.

 

Here is the 4th on the 12Z GFS:

And then precip from 5-11 p.m... some hints of a little convection.   Should be a warm evening.

It was early August 1999

Bozeman ended up with a -2F departure for June. Massive bust.

Sheets of heavy drizzle now!

 

Ground is saturated.   

 

Even without looking at the models... I would predict much drier and warmer weather this week here in my area.   That would be the normal ebb and flow here.

PDX ended up +2.2 for June. +1.7 at SEA. +1.4 at BLI.

 

If Tim and Mossman were cold this month I'd hate to see them on a month that was actually below average!

Not really about temperature... it's about sun.

 

June was pretty gloomy up here but pulled above normal by a couple warm spells.

 

We would complain way less about a sunny, cool month.

I love how you can speak for him now too!

 

It has been a sunnier than average month regionally as well.

We think alike and like most people around here.

 

And our perspective is not based on the region of course... but our own area.

 

I hope you enjoy our warm and sunny spell coming up. We are due up here. And we always share our warm and sunny weather with the region. ;)

I don't think this region has THAT many spoiled yuppies. Very vocal minority.

Wanting a little nice weather in the summer is not being spoiled. Its human nature.

 

We would have no complaints down there!

There have been five very warm and dry summers in a row here. Probably going on our sixth. You were due for a little late June/early July drizzle. Too bad your area makes up such a small part of the region.

 

And it's only 7/1. Our summers stretch well into late September these days. You will get plenty of warm and dry weather, and you have gotten lots and lots of it compared to our historical averages recently. Yet you still complain bitterly. That is the definition of spoiled.

Definitely not. Early spring weather today. Heavy drizzle and 58 currently.
