Well this really backfired.

True, but I will still write long winded manifestos every single chance I get!

Oh sweet, another excuse to blather on about our preferences!

Like Phishy says, let’s check back in in a couple weeks.

Them’s fightin words.

Pretty nice day. Cool start, then sunshine and somewhat hazy skies with some high clouds at times. 69/38 spread. One more well above average day tomorrow before a cooler and wetter pattern moves in for at least a little while.

Ended up with a low of 38 this morning. Looking forward to the wetter pattern coming later this week.

Apparently one run is just as good as it happening!

62/36 spread at VUO today. 61/39 spread here.

Last night was clearer than I expected though. Scored a low of 39. Today has been lovely with puffy clouds, cool breezes and sunbreaks. High of 59 so far. Will probably hit 60-61. Tonight could be on the chilly side again at least. Mid-week and beyond is starting to look ok for some appreciable rainfall

Someone slapped that station upside the head and made it start acting right proper. Was it you Andrew?

Guess I’ll do my write up on yesterday’s much maligned fropa. Ended up with a 70/48 day here yesterday when all was said and done. Mild night the night before last with all the east winds, had an overnight low of just 54. Sunny with gusty east winds the first part of the day with temps quickly rising to 70 by 1-2pm. Clouds were moving in in earnest by 3 or so with a sharp switch to gusty SSW winds. Had some spots of light rain and drizzle with the front but didn’t amount to much. Was in the lower 50s by sunset, cleared out in the evening with a midnight low of 48.

Portland has had exactly one since last April. January

Not really. But yes, lots of climate anxiety here.

The change between 1pm and 4pm was pretty fun. Would have been nice to have a little more precip with and a more robust cold pool in the wake of the front.

Beautiful morning at Rowena Crest. Got out there early to beat the crowds.

Eh. Today will go on the books as another very warm day. Tomorrow barely gets us to average then it’s back to more ridging. Followed by another “troughy” period that’s getting more toned down by the day. Today was fun, but it would be more exciting if it were a longer lasting crash to significantly colder or wet weather. Just my opinion.

Seems like alot’s been made of today’s front, but we’ve seen drops throughout the day like this multiple times during our more active springs

Always nice when your local station is behaving Andrew. PDX has been puking out 70 degree readings like nobody’s bizz since mid-March. I think today is #10 and we’re only 2/3 through April.

Gorgeous day. Was up in the Seattle area earlier. Giving my best friend and his wife a ride to Sea-Tac. They will be going to New York and DC this week. Great day to drive up I-5 with the mountains popping. Had enough time afterward to check out a nice park along the Green River near Kent before heading back south. Temps were in the mid-60s with breezy conditions and very dry air.

Extremely windy out there. Gusts 35-40. Feels chilly too with a temp of 58 and DPs in the 20s.

00z EPS looked pretty good overall. Would be nice if it would trend a little wetter.

Stayed windy all night here which is unusual for this time of year. Made for a very mild low of 52. Warmest of the year so far. Glad that front is coming through tomorrow because this ridging is starting to get stale.

Great looking Euro run tonight.
