July 2018 Weather in the Pacific Northwest


Recommended Posts

We will be heading to Montana just over week from today, FWIW. So expect the clipper system out there to fall apart and be replaced by triple digits. Sorry Kayla.

 

I'll know who to blame then!

 

Headed to Kalispell?

PDX hasn't had a 70 degree low in what feels like forever...

Three years. Probably reasonable to expect about a once a decade return rate looking at long term climo. 2006, 2009 and 2015 blew through our quota until the 2040s.

 

Or in other words, we’re Dew!!!

Feels like 300 years! We haven't even come close since then!

August is easily our hottest and driest month these days. This mid-July stuff is probably just the appetizer

 

That's the direction I leaned in the forecast contest.  :ph34r:

 

Ironically, August is the one summer month even UHI-afflicted SEA has been unable to set a new warm record in recent years.

A forum for the end of the world.

Downtown Portland had a 70 degree low early last September. New warm benchmark for the month, records since 1870.

 

Easy to think we are always dew for more warmth when you conveniently forget about all of the warmth we have seen lately. ;)

Yuppers, thunderstorms have been occurring here for sure. Went shopping and there is a nearly stationary t'storm that has been parked a bit to my WNW just about the whole time we were out of the house. Rumbles every minute or so. No loud booms, I guess because these might be a bit elevated.

Yeah my grass is already fried.  I've had lots of stuff going on the past 2 months and haven't been able to stay on top of watering.  There are 2 sections of my back yard that get lots of shade, and they are green and healthy but the rest is brown (or at least 90% brown).  The front and side yards are pretty much done in as well.  Trying to decide if I should try to bring it back, or if I just let it go until the rains pick up again in the fall....it will probably take a lot of resources to try to get it back, but I like having a nice green lawn in the summer....

 

A nice green lawn is really nice to have. Forget about walking barefoot on a dry crunchy lawn - ouch!

I have chickens and they love the green grass. They were stuck eating the weeds mid to late last summer. All the grass was toast.

I’m no chicken expert but I would imagine they’d prefer toast to grass.

I don't know if this has already been posted but FWIW, here are the latest EURO Seasonals for August and September. Only posting these 2 months because the longer it goes out the less accurate it becomes. Also take these with a grain of salt but it shows a western ridge pretty much through September as the general pattern. us_season-en-087-0_modezseason_2018070100_1_5436_528.pngus_season-en-087-0_modezseason_2018070100_2_5436_528.png

Depends on the type of grass.

Shot of cool, dry Canadian air into the PNW and northern Rockies. Midsummer frost east of the Cascades and some outlying upper 30s even on the west side if I recall.

models seems to be leaning towards a long term ridge position in the gulf so potential is there.

Never once said that.

 

Matt and I were just noting that the pattern has similarities. Even if it did verify the west side would only see upper 30s in wind sheltered cold pockets. Probably around 50 at best in your well-mixed location.

 

Hopefully it trends warmer regardless!

You had no problem posting all of the the summer maps back in April. Hmm..I wonder why.

 

FWIW, that August projection will probably bust. Too much faux coupling to SSTs. I think September might verify decently, though.

Whew... was heading out to cover up the garden now just to be safe!

Signs of the #augusticebox on the 18z!

 

I'm curious what your guys' definitions of #IceBox is. If it's #no90's then maybe. Still, can be a warm month if there's a bunch of mid upper 80's.

Waters off of our coast look much warmer.

Hard to imagine you guys have much left in the warm anomaly fuel tanks. Been an impressive half-decade in that regard.
