Phil Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 EPS brings a strong ridge into the western states after day 10. Heat looks to be centered on OregonIMO it looks more like a gradient pattern preceding a jet extension, as opposed to a “strong ridge”. Maybe it will morph into the ultimate karma-delivering pattern that roasts Jesse while leaving Tim/Farmboy in a deep, drizzly marine layer.

Front Ranger Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 I can verify that this warming trend is mirrored by my personal weather station in a rural area well away of any possible UHI influence.Yeah, I don't know what Phil is talking about. There's never been any reason to think EUG is affected by increased UHI like many other stations. Quote A forum for the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 That said, a solid ~ 40% of members have a monsterous ridge after D11. The other camp has flat ridging biased south and zonal flow. Very distinct camps. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds.

Phil Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 So why are the ECMWF and the GFS both showing a western mega ridge extending all the way out to 240 or 384 hours, respectively?I meant in terms of a lower frequency background state. I’ve been predicting a warm period in July for awhile, subseasonal timing issues aside.

I’ll grab the EUG data from NCDC. Definitely a faster warming trend there.

Phil Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Looks like I was wrong. The warming trend @ EUG fits the regional lower tropospheric trend. About 0.1*F/decade. My apologies. Meanwhile PDX’s trend looks to be tripled by UHI, at 0.3*F/decade.

BLI snowman Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 I’ll double check, but I’m pretty sure that’s within a measly 0.5 standard deviations of normal on the 1981-2010 bell curve. Maybe less @ PDX. I did the calculations a year or so ago..will dig them up. There’s been lots of development in the surrounding vicinity, though. Sort of like what’s happening around IAD here. The temperature trend @ EUG is much higher than most surrounding stations that were already urbanized. Again, I bookmarked this info somewhere so I’ll find it and get back to you. Not sure what airport you're thinking of. Eugene's airport is a few miles outside of town and still largely rural. There has been no significant development whatsoever there recently. And their lows are often the coolest of any I-5 station on calm, clear nights. Unaffected by UHI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seattleweatherguy Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Feels like mother nature is intentionally holding back the ridging, likely waiting for my arrival. No doubt she’s armed armed and ready, though. The potential for a heatwave is legit this month. The last two weeks of the month will have warm pool forcing timed perfectly with the dissipation of the interfering CCKW. Shouldn’t be a prolonged affair or background state, but a heat spike is certainly doable.How hot is this potentially? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frontal Snowsquall Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Bolded = complete malarkey. IMHO. Where is the logic in that? How do warm/cool summers ever happen, then? I’m not saying your forecast is necessarily wrong, but I’m having trouble understanding your reasoning. My guess is the hottest temperatures of the summer in the PNW/BC will occur during the third week of July, and that July will be only “hot” month of the summer, though September might give it a run for its money. It also wouldn’t shock me if August is cooler than June by a significant margin, relative to average.I'm not quite sure what you're trying to get at, so not going to get into much of a debate on this. All I'm saying is that after an extreme weather event you're going to get a slight relief from those conditions. It's not going to stay hot all summer long, you will see some normal weather in even the hottest summers. I actually agree with you that the hottest anomalies in the PNW will be in July but I think it will be the last 2 weeks of July. It might extend to the first week of August. August will be warmer than what we just saw this month relative to average though and I completely disagree with you about September. Early start to fall this year as I mentioned before.

You could say the 00z/12z produce “wobbles” that are erased by the 06z/18z runs.
