  2. Phil posted 5 days ago about a "phantom" ULL forming over CA and implied it was wrong. Below is the new 12Z ECMWF loop for the next couple days... and that "phantom" ULL is forming right now over CA as it was shown earlier in the week.

  3. For anyone interested in solar activity, it certainly looks at this point like the sun is having a bit of a hard time getting out of bed after this last minimum. Possibly another 6 months before real activity returning to the disc. Never really seen such a slow start to a maximum before...even the Oulu gamma ray monitor is showing elevated levels and at this point last cycle we were in the negative reading for that.

  5. 78/51 day here with sun sun sun sun sun. Nice to see some convection building to the south and east, if not to just be reminded the atmosphere still has a pulse. This has easily been the most boring spring in memory in terms of any sort of interesting or notable non sunshine/drought related weather.

  10. Had a very nice 0.50" rain last night between 9-11 PM. No severe weather at all for my area. My relatives that are farmers were hoping for a nice rain as corn is just starting to poke through the surface. Many chances for rain and storms in the next week.

  11. The latest Euro has 80s with a dewpoint of 70º next weekend. I'd rather not jump right into July.

  12. I sure hope the Euro is right and brings the precip up this way over the weekend. I went to Menard's and picked up some weed and feed for my lawn. Does it seem like this year there are more dandelions and other weeds? It almost feels like its a never ending battle every single year. There's that imaginary block across the I-80 corridor... I'm really digging what the models are showing for mid/late next week...A/C's will be humming...mid/upper 80's???

  13. I’ve never seen things this dry this early in the season and not have a substantial wet period before real summer arrives. The rain is coming.

  15. I think Washington had a great display the otehr day, this was on my way into/and at work. I had to stop and pull over at the river. Was only the 2nd time I've seen anything other than a standard halo/sun dogs. No apologies about the logo haha, and Facebook really crapped on the quality too :0

  16. Yeah it’s been a blessing. About 6” of model rain today alone! The model trees are gonna love this.

  17. I think anyone from Washington who actually really reads and posts here consistently knows about the drought situation down there. It’s been going on the past few years now.

  19. Yeah... 2019 is a good example. A record dry March here but then we never had to water all summer. That is only time that has ever happened here for us. In fact each summer month in 2019 got progressively wetter and there was basically no fire season at all.

  20. We had our first day of diurnally-driven storms yesterday. Another day of that today with potential hail.

  21. I'm paying attn to the unofficial start to summer aka Memorial Day weekend and the Euro has been advertising an ill-timed cool down for some of us for several runs in a row. The Euro weeklies continue to show this trend followed by what I have been opined is for Summer heat to build at the tail end of May into June. The Upper MW will torch IMHO. Very dry soils, trough in the south, classic Summer Heat Dome in the works up that way. Early June Heat... @OKwx2k4, the next 45 days look quite stormy and damp/cool. You may not see what a typical summer usually brings down that way. Extremely wet pattern...hey, look at the bright side, at least things will be lush and green! If the wet pattern remains entrenched across the southern plains into NM, this is going to be a BIG clue for the Monsoon this year. I'm really hoping this will eventually nudge west in due time by July to incorporate AZ into the action. This would certainly benefit those in the drought stricken regions of NM/CO...

  22. Glancing at preliminary May weather data, temperatures are around average (+/-0.5F) in Western WA, and slightly above (+0.5 to 1.5) in Western OR. Uniform precip departure west of the cascades , with most areas running around 2/3 of normal. If this upcoming pattern depicted by the models holds, which it might not, a cooler/wetter than normal May could be in store for the lowlands (the cooler emphasized especially for Western WA given the neutral anomalies right now). Reeeeally rooting for this given the drought in place; plus we haven't had a cooler than average May since 2012(!).

  23. Gfs and the euro are looking pretty good next week. Hopefully it’s a start to a wet pattern sticks around for awhile.

  25. Already down to 50 here, onshore flow doing its thang!! Feels like it could be more of a mariner layer type summer here, been a few years since we had most days only have a couple hours of peak heating during the summer, lots to love and loathe with that pattern.

  27. 75 and sunny with a little breeze... perfection out there. Looks like we have to make some time for Lake Sammamish this weekend. The water temperature at the buoy in the middle of the lake is up to 64 now. It will probably be 66 or 67 by Sunday... I think we are ready for swimming and tubing now.

  28. Stray Amiibos towering over the mountains. I mean albinos and they are growing larger by the minute. They were just barely over the tops of the mountains an hour ago and now quite a bit larger and very widespread.

  32. 12Z ECMWF shows .17 at SEA and .21 at PDX through day 9. But there is lots of rain all around us so it might trend better. Far eastern WA and OR and northern ID gets tons of rain on this run.

  34. FWIW, I was (mostly) right about the excessive digging of the offshore trough by the GFS, and that stray Euro run.

  36. Lol people in western WA myself included track rainfall down in OR as well especially with the drought situation currently. I just don’t track as as closely as here at home.

  38. Last nights euro run seemed pretty similar to the previous...about 1” of rain throughput western OR with just a bit less in western WA. Gfs still way wetter but I’m thinking it’s overdoing rainfall a bit. Good odds of the PNW getting some nice rain totals next week.

  41. Spring has been utter crap this year with constant cooler than avg temps and endless marine layer. I really hope we see a hot Summer with frequent monsoonal intrusions and tropical cyclone remnants.
