.. Hanna Montana, says hang in their bud.
Haha.
Seriously this place should be uninhabited, it's like you're walking in a hot tub. Humidity so thick it lowers your visibility and clogs your lungs.
No wonder our politicians lose brain cells when they get here

.. Wonder what's going on of general interest, weatherwise, in the PNW.
Maybe I'll check "The Weather Forums".

My hottest temp of last summer was June 30th, so this could be it.

According to you... that is cold compared to your 3,000 foot elevation where dewpoints are in the low 80s all summer! A dewpoint of 74 is very low for you.

In non-east coast news, PDX with a max/min record this morning of 64. It'll be a good evening of thermometer watching to see if it can get counterfeited.

Nice one.

Dewpoints are essentially the same as back home...it's just 10 degrees hotter here, with more sunshine and concrete/asphalt..

Its 78.8 with a dewpoint of 66 in McHenry right now.
Heat index at your house is 81.
Heat index in DC is 109.
It ain't even close to being the same... and that is why you are suffering. And that is why your area is considered a cool haven in the summer for the people in DC.

Yeah it's significantly cooler up there, but dewpoints are usually within 2-3 degrees, sometimes higher at my place if winds are westerly.
Today there was an EML present...which was mixed down via earlier convection, while here in DC we had S winds and were capped:

Surely you expected no less, given the warm SST's we had.

Yes... the entire NE Pacific is well below normal.

Yeah... the holiday weekend looks great now. ....
And then it gets even warmer next week.
So how are the models lookin' for the 5th and 6th at this point then, Tim. ?

Interesting post on the Mt. Hood melt-out. I would like to the see the same data for Rainier and Baker, and see if the same trends are present.

For comparison... here is where began the month of June:
And here is where we begin the month of July:
As I said... the pattern in early June with a strong surface high offshore would dent the +PDO and the warm anomalies off our coast but if history was a guide it would be temporary and we would end up right back where we started.

Hope .....
... "springs eternal".
Live feed from JP (storm chaser) in the middle of ….. [nowhere.]
.. Will you ever get the "clue". ? (I wonder.)
... If again, .. I don't understand why you feel that you need to use this thread as a "general catch-all" for anything and everything that you find noteworthy and / or interesting weather-wise, when it's plainly been designated "Pacific NW July 2014 Discussion".
And with this, why you either whether won't or can't trust in the idea that people tuning in here—members (even if more sparse at this point.), guests, whomever—won't note or be able to find what you've had in mind to post where it would be, both more appropriately, and more in line with the way that the Staff here have set up different categories / main sub-forums, more toward the idea of working to differentiate (organize.) different main weather or climate themes.
It looks like Fred has taken the "New Content" element out of the main "Welcome" to the site message, main front page. Perhaps the idea (A link to it.) should be made more prominent there—in addition to and apart from the more simple top menu icon to the left. But just dropping in whatever here—certainly where considering what you decide to, quite often certainly only, if at all more remotely relating / related to the PNW—is ultimately counter-productive as I see it. …. And, with this, as others have suggested to you previously, certainly somewhat intrusive. / .. over the line more generally, even arrogant more essentially.
As I've worked to suggest to you in the past more myself, the more academic approach, if or where you might be "hoping" to communicate whatever, to whomever more from the PNW, and with thinking to perhaps, by posting whatever here, .. would be to post whatever, where more appropriate, and then drop in a link to it here. ….
— Then at least, whatever response to it, won't work to clutter up this thread. This, or either more otherwise, and if as with this set of "inserts" of yours above, to detract (potentially. ?) from peoples' interest more in what is or might be going on, in the Pacific Northwest.
.. If a bit lengthy (Of necessity. ?) .... "Hope", this is clear. @

hey Tim.
.. Not much going on. So we might as well look as this. (For fun.) .. $ Main focus here just below.
Here is the 'bad data' from yesterday morning for ... (7/5):
Here is the 12Z ECMWF from Friday for next Saturday (7/5):
.. Set against what actually transpired, where and with looking at the main initializations (t+000VT) since, for 12z daily.
Basically, if you check through what I'd been trying to have you look at—i.e. more in line with the more basic potential (at all.) where considering the broader circumstance where looking at the "odd" run, appreciated at the time as an "outlyer", or "bad" one, to have verified. .. Or, anything anywhere near to it, being my more specific meaning, both now and at the time, ...
http://theweatherforums.com/index.php?/topic/541-pacnw-june-2014-discussion/?p=29354
.. You'll see that what I'd said, has in fact taken place. Again, where looking at the over-all and more general potential. And in fact more than the run's not having accounted for main colder air's progressive "slowing" east, that I'd point to, it also apparently hadn't accounted for a / the steady expansion (movement and spread) of colder air, daily more southward. @
And so then, finally, both runs set with what actually transpired. ....
