August 2019 Weather Discussion for the PNW

[TT-SEA]

12Z GFS is even farther offshore with the ULL for next weekend compared to its 00Z run.

 

It shows an ideal holiday weekend for summer activities.    But I still don't trust it.    I suspect later runs will start showing a trough coming in from the north.

All summer activities can be done in the summer in any weather, it doesn't have to be a certain kind of weather.

[ShawniganLake]

Just a few patches of low cloud here.

Do you have plans to trend east?

OK Chris.

 

Technically... we could go boating and swimming in January too.

 

However... ideally its best when its sunny and in the 80s.

I did book a reservation... which is likely why the models are trending better now.  We should thank Andrew for reminding me. 

 

If it is as nice as the 12Z GFS shows then we will definitely be cancelling.

The fact you book reservations elsewhere for every summer holiday says it all. You need to move, dude.

[TT-SEA]

Turned into a surprisingly nice morning here...

Not every summer holiday.  And we don't actually need to use the reservations very often.   But we definitely take advantage of our location and close proximity to more reliably sunny weather when necessary.    Its a really nice benefit here.  It makes living here even more enjoyable... so many options.  

[TT-SEA]

12Z ECMWF is not going to be so favorable

[Deweydog]

Run for your resort-loving lives!!!!

[TigerWoodsLibido]

75F and gorgeous. Best summer weather on earth.

On the bright side, the models seem to have converged on the idea that we only see 2-3 days above 90 this week.

There aren't many places that have more reliably nice summer weather than the PNW. Not sure how moving would help him.

I really think the only solution is for one of us to kill him.

 

Not it!

I was thinking that as well. And with the option to jump over the mountains quickly... its even better.

[El_Nina]

The special in other parts of the country look like PNW.

[TacomaWaWx]

Looks pretty breezy for some parts of the Puget Sound on Tuesday. Warm north breeze along the water and temps in the 80s on Tuesday and Wednesday. Looks like back to normal by the weekend.

[TacomaWaWx]

Pretty breezy day here again today on banks lake. Yesterday was as well. Overall the weather here has been breezier, cloudier and cooler than I thought it’d be, besides last weekend which was hot.

[MossMan]

Partly cloudy, breezy, and 63 here at the top of Snoqualmie Pass.

And wow! 98% of the time when I travel for work I am hitting the pass at about 5am during a weekday so it’s me and semi’s. I much prefer that! Weekend warriors in full force on a Sunday afternoon ...Lots and lots of distracted drivers!

[TT-SEA]

Gorgeous day.

 

Too bad Fred Couples blew his seemingly insurmountable lead.

[Deweydog]

F*ck Fred and f*ck this climate.

[MossMan]

F*ck Fred and f*ck this climate.

Sounds like you hate this climate and need to move.

 

That’s the go to on the forum these days...right?

[Blizzard777]

Unfortunately I missed today’s game driving back north in heavy traffic. I also could of blown the insurmountable lead in one hole!

[MossMan]

Unfortunately you can count me among the distracted driver group. We were coming back from a weekend trip to Moses Lake and saw the upcoming traffic jam on Maps so we decided to take a parallel road after Cle Elum to go around some of it. I was so focused on scarfing down a $5 lunch from DQ that I didn't realize I was going 51mph in a 35mph zone. A nice Sheriff, a respectful conversation, and some pure luck lead to me getting off on a speeding ticket. Not a mile down the road another cop had pulled someone else over. I'm thinking a lot of people were doing what we were doing and they had an eventful day on that road.

 

Anyways, yeah, I can attest to the pass being unusually bad today. I can only imagine how it's going to be next weekend.

I heard the traffic was horrific through Cle Elum, the person I was meeting at the pass was delayed nearly an hour due to it. Glad you got out of the ticket!!

I was stuck on I-90 at Easton for two hours the other day.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Western Washington = underrated (Especially by those who cannot handle drizzle.)

Eastern Washington = overrated

[ShawniganLake]

Just noticed that Friday was the first day with a high below 70 here since July 7th. Sure has been another sunny warm summer

Helps if you live in a place virtually immune from the marine layer.

 

I will say that the last 5 weeks have been a much more normal mix of sunny and cloudy days around here for summer.

[TT-SEA]

Models are all more progressive now for the weekend.

 

Going to hold onto that reservation in overrated sunshine and warmth for now.

You caught one Shawnigan!!

[El_Nina]

47 and clear here as the sun rises. I bet the marine layer moves in in a couple hours again.

Not today... there is no marine layer to move in.

Yay more full sun for the plants!

[Blizzard777]

Morning dew on outside furniture = wet backside!

57* and sunny morning

[SilverFallsAndrew]

46 this morning. Very pleasant. Fall is coming. ,

[Timmy Supercell]

Surprised Klamath Falls hasn't had 37-40 yet, which I have seen in this area in late August before a couple times. About 49 this morning.

[Dave]

It feels like it might get warm today.

[MossMan]

40’s this AM.
