Topped out at 84 yesterday, and finally cooled off to 56 overnight. Back up to 81 today, which is +4 compared to this time yesterday. This "little" girl joined our family Friday night, I went out this morning and picked up a kiddie pool for her to play in this afternoon. Looking forward to when she has all her vaccines and we can her down to some of the waterfront parks to play.

Beating the heat in the Silver Falls “backcountry.”

100°, we did it!! Absolutely zero wind currently!!

62F/34F day here yesterday and 36F this morning. 71F currently. Pretty perfect summer weather for the foreseeable future here.

Heatwaves are actually enjoyable when it’s just a quick three day spike and then back to comfortable weather.

Looks like PDX avoids 100 degrees, they're down to 98 now, with a max of 99 today.

Our roses are also now in full bloom mode. These were taken couple days ago. Im actually just more excited that we still have naturally green grass in late June without having to do any watering

Flowers have been happy recently. We are at 79F. Yesterday we topped out at 79F-80F. Today will be the same it seems. It's actually cooler feeling today with more of a cool breeze blowing in. It really helps bite the heat. Got a single fan running for all it's worth too.

I was looking at the forum thread for February 2014, and it's kind of funny how drastically everything changed run to run, from a major dry arctic outbreak and no snow to snow for the South Willamette Valley only to all sorts of different solutions even just a few days out. And no one expected a high of 23 degrees at Portland either. I ended up with around 8 inches during those storms.

Wow

Have you ever done the sunset dinner cruise at CDA? If not, you should.

Looks like most of the I-5 corridor north of Roseburg avoided the century mark today. A climate victory!

90 here. Had to bust out the Little AC That Could. It’s not icy cold inside but it definitely makes a difference.

Just another 30 hours before the relief returns. 87 here…closing in on 90 slowly.

Still a very warm 67F outside and 75F inside. Yuck! Nice sunset though.

Wind shifted from northerly to SSW and we dropped from 95F to 90F in like 15 mins.

Loved this tweet from Morgan yesterday and wholeheartedly agreed with it. It is what it is. Currently BFI is 84 while SEA briefly touched 90. We’re talking a 5-6 degrees diff.

99°

Surprised the trees could survive next to that glacial lake.

Massive improvement on the 12Z ECMWF for the 4th.

Picked up about 1 1/2" from the Fri nite-sat rain/storms. Today is very pleasant. Low 70s with a nice NW breeze

Just ~36 hours to go until relief

70 here, and I just noticed we had a 50° temp spread yesterday.

.27 inches fell this morning which I will gladly take. Great weather coming to start the week.

Aright, alright, alright...don't look now @Andie@OKwx2k4...but both the EURO/GFS op are showing a GOM feature trying to spin up your way!

Isn't it really amazing to see how nature can balance things in a hurry? My gosh, but NM has been getting inundated by Monsoonal rains this past month. Here is the latest Drought Monitor... This is what has transpired thus far over the last 30 days....it would have been unthinkable to see this transpire not long ago. What if, that after this Monsoon season, we witness the drought completely, or at the very least, reverse course. Can you imagine?

Nice looking Euro for the 4th

Today was pleasant. Went up to Moscow on the palouse for the market and some river fun at Hell's Gate SP in Lewiston. Got back home around 4 where we topped out about 78 or 79 at my location. Down to roughly 60 now. Tomorrow my son and I will sleep in my office where we run our portable AC on very warm days like the next two.

Lightning bugs going crazy here tonight. Haven’t seen this many in years. Thousands of them lighting up in the trees every second.

It's split into two camps, one that favors the occlusion band, and another that doesn't. The Euro and GFS mix things out and bring highs around 70, while the NAM, GEM/RGEM, and ICON wrap that occlusion band around, favoring highs in the low 60s with intermittent rainfall. My instincts tell me to blindly follow the Euro into oblivion, but it's not so simple. Occlusion bands are notoriously difficult to forecast, and meso models (including NAM and RGEM) tend to pick up on them a bit better than global scale models. I'm for now going to side with a mix between the two. I figure the Euro and GFS are underplaying this feature, while the meso models are also probably overvaluing its extent, and likely modeling the whole pattern transition and establishment a bit wrong compared to the other two big kahunas. I'll go with partly to mostly sunny and highs in the mid-upper 60s. For all the shit we give the Euro for consistently underestimating high temperatures, it may very well verify nicely on Wednesday. Just my two cents tho, and this is a complicated fcst with a 3 day lead time. Could be wrong in either direction. My previous post was addressing the reappearance of that occlusion feature after the GFS teased with it a few days ago. If it's reappearing now, there could be some validity to it. Or the GFS resolved some issue long ago w/ better data that the other models have yet to work out due to worse data/less resources.

I love talking about this kind of stuff so it's not a burden in the slightest And if there's anything I've learned over time, it's that I'm not nearly an expert by any means. Just starting out vector calc, literally the tinker toys of what I'll have to do in uni, and I feel like my eyes are melting. But it's very flattering

I don't know if my station ever hit 80F today or not, but I do know it hit 79F. So that may have been the high. I see other stations in Everett hit 82F. It is currently 68F. I wish it was cooling off faster. So pumped for that marine air tomorrow afternoon/evening! Sunset was okay tonight, not as good as last night in my humble opinion.

Down to 72, dropping off much quicker than last night.

55 and sunny at Newport! Sounds like HEAVEN!

Holy shitt, the NAM verified *13F* too warm on DP's at KSEA. That is an ungodly error. It's not even a boundary situation either, this is a 13F error with the antecedent airmass.

Looks like PDX maxed out at 99°F.

The models are actually showing some days with below normal 850s and mostly sunny skies coming up. Might sneak some lows in the 40s in there on some days. Nice!

Pdx stuck at 99. Ahhhhhh!!!!

It’s plastic. 88 beautiful degrees out.

Bozeman has reached summer perfection stage...

2019 had only 11 days hit >90 at KLMT. After the last couple years I think the northwest would need another summer like that.

Ensembles looking decent so far too

Up to 80 here with light offshore flow beginning to surface. At least it cooled off a little better overnight that I thought it might. Got down to 62.

Mark and his midweek 98 degree pipe dream… lol…

"The Hav's and Have Not's" of summery rains....parts of N & E IA did quite well and into N KS over the past 2 days... Nature seemingly is filling in the "holes" and giving S KS into C MO some rains overnight... @Clintonyou get anything? Nice to see the corn belt region of IL get pounded by some strong/severe storms...doesn't look like any big hail or damaging wind reports downstate...these are surely some timely rains where the drought conditions have creeped in of late. http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/current/mcview.phtml?prod=lotrad&java=script&mode=archive&frames=75&interval=10&year=2022&month=6&day=25&hour=19&minute=15

61 now!

6 months from now we will be stuffed with Christmas dinner and complaining about not having a white Christmas this year.

It was getting too hot so I had to go for a drive with the AC on in my car to cool off. I found these wildly different temps on my route. The microclimates are so awesome how they vary in such short distances.
