All Activity

Gorgeous day. Was up in the Seattle area earlier. Giving my best friend and his wife a ride to Sea-Tac. They will be going to New York and DC this week. Great day to drive up I-5 with the mountains popping. Had enough time afterward to check out a nice park along the Green River near Kent before heading back south. Temps were in the mid-60s with breezy conditions and very dry air.

Tim predicted a “very wet” weekend, but aside from some light showers this weekend looks mostly dry.

Probably looking at a moderate Nina according to most global models.

Looks like there were some thunderstorms in the desert this afternoon.

Or are we gonna have a 2nd year niño split flow hell winter?

Nino not crashing really hard yet. I am sure its coming though.

Yeah... temps are going to crash hard.

My Dad is 72 and still hasn’t retired. He easily could have years ago, but just enjoys staying busy.

I wish I could retire in my early 50s (two years from now) instead ill probably work another 15-20 years, oof!

Where is the southerly surge that precedes the onshore push?

The scum and refuse burnt off around 2 PM and it got warm for a few hours.

My kids friends B-Day party hangs in the balance, it’s all on you now!

I don't want to be blamed if it comes earlier... but this is what the ECMWF shows at 5 p.m.

It has been astoundingly dry the last few days.

I'm a bit late reporting but my weather station recorded 1.52" from this week's system. Pretty much right on with the models and forecast. Things are greening up nicely around the TC metro......although today was cold and windy with some snow showers. Only reached 37° today. Freeze Warning tonight! Yuck. I am more than ready for sustained spring weather.

54 currently with a 28 dewpoint, 62/24 day which is the same high temp as yesterdays 62/17 day. Every single day when we were gone got down into the 10s or 20s at night, except for April 14th which only got down to 37, and the day with the biggest diurnal spread was April 10th with a 72/16 day. Was looking at our temperature chart on the eclipse day, surprisingly the 26% coverage of the sun back home was enough to make the temperature stop going up, although it never really cooled down. Where we were in Arkansas experienced a 11 degree temp drop.

Congrats. You made it!

When do the first drops fly tomorrow?

I'm more or less focused on the temperature crash. Even if it doesn't rain the evaporative cooling from rain in the vicinity will cool things off quickly and substantially.

The warm dry offshore flow was able to make it to the today. Hoquiam was able to get to 68 like SEA. Down here Astoria and Tillamook made it up to 72. PDX got to 71 for a +8 high departure but well off the record pace of 89 set back 8 years ago. Another beautiful day across the region.

Next week weather is looking like straight garbage

Up to 66 now. Had a low of 34.

Finally got back from my big retirement/eclipse trip last night, feels great and weird to be retired now! Worked my a*s off from my mid 20s-low 50s, and the last few years I've been working some because I can and not because I need to, but now it's time to relax and retire. And now I have a lot of time for model riding! Got to see a lot of beautiful redrock canyons and snowy mountains in Utah/Wyoming on this trip. We had pretty great weather the whole time, only got hit by a storm while we were in Wyoming, and saw some epic thunderstorms the night following the eclipse.

I’m in the several shades in of green!

Currently 62 degrees with a DP of 29. RH is at 27%
