  1. Very different and interesting summer thus far. This bears no resemblence to recent summers and that will continue to be the case for a while longer. The ENSO situation is quite interesting also. It seems that tanked SOI and occasional WWBs over the tropical Pacific are having zero effect as surface and subsurface temperatures continue to drop. It's pretty funny to see the mets on Weatherbell touting the low SOI, but failing to realize it's meaningless at this point. I think there is simply no warm water left in the Western Pacific to keep a Nino going. Probably looking neutral or weak Nina this winter. The sun is in a very deep sleep right now. In the last 50 days there have only been a few days with tiny spots that rapidly disappear. The table is set for us this winter.

  2. A cool 74F with heavy drizzle. Late September at its finest.

  3. According to stats during a very questionable era of truth, supposedly the hottest ever globally. Either way, I know it was 2nd hottest here to 1936. Too hot.

  7. 103* Dewpoint 71* Care to join me on the lawn for a game of 'croak'-et? Blistering hot. 50% chance of rain. I've found a new definition of crazy.

  9. The lower dews have arrived in Cedar Rapids after a morning in the low 70s. We get a decent couple of days before the heat moves in.

  10. While the center of the state has been underwater, it's rained so little here that the grass is starting to brown up a bit.

  11. Low 90s and humidity cranking up in the 7 day with little if any storm chances. If its gonna be hot and humid I'd like to see some storms!

  12. I've had the convergence zone over my house a decent chunk of the evening and closing on 1.5" for the day. It absolutely poured from about 6:45-9pm, and cranked up again in the last 30 minutes. I have not seen rain like this in a looong time! Usually I am stuck at work with no windows so all I can do is listen. I am home today and its been fun to watch.

  14. Ended up with a high of 70F here, with some brief heavy showers passing through mid-afternoon. This is about as muggy as it gets in Victoria with the DP peaking at 65F earlier this evening. Still it's not enough humidity to be uncomfortable, would be nice to get this sort of weather more often in the summer months. Feels like summer in the UK.

  17. With 0.23” and counting, were up to 0.42” total for the event and 0.53” for the month. We only had 0.52” in May and 0.17” in June. Been a nice stretch of cooler wetter weather.

  18. Are you trolling or serious? It rarely gets above freezing at the summit of the ice sheet.

  19. If the earth spun the other way Portland would probably be a desert, and quite a bit hotter in the summer with much more frequent offshore flow/downsloping. Our summers are actually very representative of our latitude, winters however are not.

  21. We've dropped to 74* and Thunderstorms. That's a 30* shift. 60-70 mph winds 1500 lightning strikes in 15 minutes .....100 strikes/ minute. At one point however it was 103* with lightning and thunder......felt like the apocalypse! These are well developed storms, a lot of rain and lightning. More on the way. Crazy, - just crazy.

  22. We're FB friends. I've never hung out with Brian, but I used to hang with Erik a lot, but the 2016 election kind of fractured the "hated 8." But I have no personal issues with him. In my experience he is a good guy.

  24. Hottest day of the year: 94F/62F...DP's have been lowering slowly throughout the day so the Heat Index (95F) isn't too bad. It's been a great summery day with a nice southerly breeze. Looking forward to opening up the windows tomorrow and feeling what @St Paul is enjoying today.

  27. It’s hard to say but if I had a guess that is probably what’s going to end up happening. BLI brought it up the other day how there’s been backloaded summers like 2012 for example which didn’t see any real heat until early August and into mid September after a cooler than average July.

  28. 54 and cloudy this morning when I left the house. Picked up 0.32" of rain since yesterday evening.

  29. Then, week-2 a transition to more EHEM-based forcing occurs (still not a clean wavenumber) which would typically enhance the Aleutian High/western trough to some extent, but the AAM/wavetrain cycle looks somewhat less favorable for such a pattern. Interesting. Week-2 could go either way, I guess? I’m surprised the pattern isn’t warmer now, but could there be a warm interlude at some point? Delayed-and-shortened-but-not-denied warm-up? Would be the opposite of my initial prediction of the monthly pattern progression.

  30. This shows what I am talking about. Attached is my neighbor's weather station which I have been using and is also posted on the wunderground map. I have checked the other credible nearby stations and they show the same. That is just from this morning and does not include last night which I can confirm as it was raining most of the night. Again, I know it is semantics and most people don't care, it is just something I have been noticing lately but to be honest do not have a ton of data to back up other than some of the local weather stations. We also had almost an 1" of rain Sunday night into Monday.

  31. Interesting..the tropical circulation doesn’t scream “western troughing” at all to me. Warm pool forcing with an off-equator center (though it’s a wave-2 structure, which doesn’t run clean correlations all the time) would favor offshore troughing and a 4CH flex. Seems the structure of the extratropical circulation/AAM budget is driving this pattern as much as anything.

  32. We are in Washington County right now and it’s 63 and raining moderately. Lots of low clouds and mist too. Feels great. Hard to believe it’s almost mid-July.

  33. So I guess this is it for rain chances from this system? NWS point forecast dropped my rain chances this evening from 60% to 10% now. What a joke. Oh well, wasn’t really expecting much anyway, but still was hoping....!

  34. Only .30" here this morning. Pretty shocking to see western parts of the state underwater while we're left mostly dry.
