  1. GFS gone away from a torching in the day 10 range. Likely see a lot of model confusion in coming days as the western Pacific tropics get active.
  2. It's way off on it's own compared to the ensembles..
  3. The inability of the SW monsoon to activate a side effect of a retracted 4CH?
  4. I'd have to check prior Ninos but isn't there a history of decent arctic blasts into the NW before the end of the year?
  5. The moderation of the torch next weekend on the morning models is beautiful.
  6. That line between "much above normal" and "record driest" through SW Arizona is crazy. Some sort of drought region split there?
  7. We're in a look at the bright side mode, but while temps are in the upper 90s the models still want to drop the lows back into 50s at night in the suburbs...
  8. From this mornings AFD. It's a huge difference from just a decade ago when heat events were reliant on the placement of the thermal low and decent offshore flow. Onshore flow is expected to continue through the forecast period with periods of breezy northwesterly winds with gusts up to 20 mph in the afternoon and evening hours. These winds could exacerbate fire weather concerns, especially with holiday activities, though the overall pattern does not suggest high fire weather concerns. Those spending time outdoors should practice heat safety as well as fire safety. -HEC
  9. Summer torch recommences on the 06z around July 2nd
  10. When's the last time the continent had a July like that?
  11. Sometimes it seems like the NWS is making forecasting too hard. Like why bother mentioning the possibility of hitting 100? Current NBM deterministic guidance shows around 90 degrees for the interior valley, while the 50th percentile has low to mid 90s for Tuesday. NBM also continues to slightly back away from temperatures above 100 degrees. Currently there is around 10 percent chance of 100F at PDX, and 5 percent at KEUG for example. Temperatures cool slightly to the mid 80s to low 90s for Wednesday. Does not look like record breaking temperatures, though could be if the more extreme forecast comes verifies.
  12. Impressively suppressed ridging on both the GFS and CMC long term.
  13. A legitimate northwest rainstorm to saturate the ground before the next 6 weeks of dryness wouldn't be a bad thing.
  14. The California anomaly is wild when they're just now heading into an El Nino.
  15. That's a wild circulation. Flash flood watch makes sense when something fires up directly under the low and barely moves.
  16. Portland NWS lowered their criteria for excessive heat.
  17. 12z continues the trend of reduced 850s and the ridge center slightly further east.
  18. GFS looks a lot different with ridge and cut off low strength into Monday.
  19. Stayed sleet in Beaverton all night, but back to calm winds and we've jumped to 23.
  20. How does that work when 850s never drop below 0?
