April 2019 Weather Discussion in the PNW

No, you were just having a little meltdown earlier. I made one post about it, but you didn’t like me pointing it out so first you resorted to lying about nonexistent PMs. Then when you realized that wasn’t going to get under my skin you just started sniping every unrelated post I made. As you are still doing. :lol:

 

 

No.   You just make really bad assumptions and can't keep them to yourself.    

 

And yet... you get really angry really fast when people make wrong assumptions about you.

Don't disappoint me today. Can't think of a better parting gift than recording a nice t'storm on camera before my Wilsonville visit starts tomorrow.

 

But please nothing between 04/20 and 05/04, or I'll need to have quite a talk with miss nature.

Are you moving to Wilsonville or just staying there for awhile?

Just calling it like I see it. Let it go.

Me too. Let it go.

 

And maybe keep your bad assumptions to yourself once in awhile.

 

Nothing I said was even remotely close to a meltdown or angry in any way. I was just clarifying for Kayla why some people are looking forward to a change. The amount of rain has nothing to do with it.

My ideal climate would have about 80” of rain with a wet winter - dry summer precip pattern. Mild winters and warm summers. Rain would more often be moderate to heavy than drizzly.

 

80” is a bit hard to achieve in the United States, but Dunsmuir, CA at 60” has an excellent climate with a wonderful rainy season.

I have a brother there and I'm just going for a couple weeks. May 4th is likely the day I'm coming back.

May the fourth be with you for some storms in that case!

 

Just so happens that one of my top 3 t'storms I had here occurred May 4th.

Plenty of foothill climates call my name. Closest in particular is Sandy, OR.

 

I think it would be too cold for you up there. It's a lot wetter than Portland's climate, but also quite a bit cooler.

 

I believe they have a lot of east wind exposure as well. Not much in the way of mountains between them and the gorge. You have to get a little further up the valley, like Brightwood or Welches, to be sheltered from the gap wind.

Seeing a few puffy clouds around here, but no real storms firing up yet. Maybe by 5-6pm we'll see.

I think the perfect climate for you is in the foothills on the downwind side of the Appalachians. Mountains and big lakes with loads of summer heat and sunshine, but also cold winters with crisp airmasses and persistent snow. No marine gunk or extended cloud cover in any season.

 

Seems like Tim paradise.

You always recommend that people on here move somewhere on the east coast.  :lol:

He trolled you and you fell head over heels for it. You know how this works.

They do not get east wind exposure from the gorge much at all. Much more here in Boring, and it's 10 fold in Gresham what it is in Sandy. They do get raging downslope winds, however.

I’m just basing it off of personal experience. Every time there has been a strong gorge wind and I’ve gone through Sandy it’s been gusty there too. Maybe that’s not true all the time.

Some red/yellow reflectivity on radar just west of me. Skies are looking darker. Bring it on!

The first cell I have been hearing has significantly weakened, though more activity is training behind it. 

 

7:19pm - now seeing flashing from this new storm to the SW.

Looks like this one will also significantly weaken as it exits the mountain terrain into the valley there.

We are already starting to get brown here. Another minisclule chance for some measurable rain over the weekend. Late March to the middle of April here are probably the most beautiful months of the spring after a rainy winter because everything is green and flowery precluding the browning of the hills and the May Gray, but the jacarandas sort of make up for it in May.

Closing in on .20" here and still raining. 54 degrees. This storm has pleasantly overachieved. 

 

The greening is going to go into overdrive next week with this rain being bookended by warmer weather.

I'm excited to see how much I have at home then. Will check later after I leave the hospital.
