Striking. Though as Tim has pointed out in many different ways, there are some issues with some of the Seattle area numbers.

Raining or not, this is really the nicest time of year.

The numbers say western OR and SW WA are waterlogged this year and particularly now after this recent major rain event. But that is just a logical view based on actual stats...and not a drought paranoia PTSD view.

After a drier than normal April, the region is anything, but water logged, but apparently you have no idea what to do on a wet day.

12Z GFS looks much drier next week than the 06Z run. Blessings for a water-logged region!

22F this morning. Finished the storm with 8" of snow which is my new record for May (since 2010). Squaw valley reporting 26" this morning!

Quite chilly out there.

A warmer world is also wetter!

Let's hope. Other Nino to Nina years like 2010, 1998, and 1983 all did the 60" business here. But honestly I'd love to break through that glass ceiling and just go straight for 70", Andrew.

MICRO drought.

So... I checked out Sequim up there. Sequim is actually +0.05 for the year. Right in line with UIL and not even drier than normal. It appears the extreme drought is isolated to only your backyard. Because its almost perfectly normal where you work and farther to your west at UIL.

This tweet aged amazingly well as Hispanics continue to flee the racist antisemitic elitists in the Democrat party.

I have farmer family and city folk family. I much prefer visiting the farmer family for many reasons. If I want sun, we'll go far south. The rain and humid air really helps with the lush green grass for things like sheep, cows, butter, and cheese. I guess the same could be said for most of northern Europe. My gripe with that climate is the lack of extremes. Might snow even less than Seattle there. You can always move and vote for the "animal first" party that actually exists in France. Very pro animal rights group. The benefit of a (pseudo) parliament - many different views you can vote for.

This doesn't even make sense in the current context. Right now we have Democrats screaming for the death of Jews.

Lets do a summary since its a rainy Sunday morning with not much else to do! 2024 departures: BLI +0.91 UIL -0.09 HQM +3.69 SEA WFO -0.32 SEA -3.65 (missing data) OLM -0.32 PDX +4.01 SLE +4.94 EUG +4.24 AST +5.24 Those PDX NWS area anomalies are impressive. SEA NWS area is closer to normal overall... but SEA really stands out as an outlier particularly given SEA WFO is very close to normal. The talk of it being extremely dry is a false narrative when looking at the actual numbers.

With the potential Nina coming, I feelz it strongly.

Starting in November all will be well in my weather world and I will be posting pictures like this once again!

Numbers on Chinese are increasing. It’s so difficult to leave the Rep. of China. interesting surge according to the Border Control In the first six months of fiscal year 2024, there have been more than 24,200 apprehensions, the data shows. What gives? This is a small army if it doubles in fiscal year 2024.

I was just thinking we are dew here for a majorly wet year. Battle Ground last hit 60" in 2017. Long term average there is 52".

It seems like the climate is rapidly changing in your neck of the woods, Randy.

Who’s paying for this? This isn’t some grass roots uprising.

Even in the city of Seattle there are discrepancies. SEA is -3.65 on the year and missing a couple rainy days... but SEA WFO is essentially right at normal for 2024. And Boeing Field definitely has rainfall sensor issues. SEA has had 13.52 inches for the year (missing data) and SEA WFO on the other side of BFI is at 15.24 inches. But somehow BFI has only recorded 7.4 inches right in between those stations. Clearly not right. But that would help paint a catastrophic red on the anomaly map over Seattle which takes into account all stations and add to the drought paranoia that runs wild on here.

Just in time for the 3 chilly Saints

Starting to stick now!
