TT-SEA

That's strange. I would have just assumed that was a smudge on your lens.

00Z GFS, GEM, and ICON all show the system on Saturday. ECMWF will come around soon.

18Z GFS sticking to its guns with a ULL parked over the PNW next weekend. My sense is the ECMWF will cave to this scenario.

Just two more months until your trees start to bud. Getting closer!

Looks like a mid summer day at T-Mobile for the Mariners game. Better than the roof closed cold misery that will be tomorrow's game.

85 is too cold. 105 is better. 125 is ideal.

Deadly contrails appearing out here now as well. Probably spraying us all with another COVID vaccine.

Lots of restaurants in downtown Bellevue have their summer patios open now and they were packed yesterday evening.

Cottonwoods starting to take on the glossy green summer look here now. A couple weeks out from puffball mania.

Pre-frontal sunny days are classic conditions for contrails. It's science not conspiracy.

Not much different than previous runs. ECMWF does run cool so probably close to normal overall which is very nice at this time of year with plenty of sun. He was just trolling of course. I posted a strong troughing signal on the 00Z EPS and also talked about the GFS being quite wet next weekend. He is one with the anxiety issues... just projecting of course.

Indeed... will be doing that at some point this afternoon.

ECMWF and EPS definitely still drier than normal. Lots of sunny days on the ECMWF.

Had to stop on way home from Bellevue. We were rushing because it's so nice out.

Costco Issaquah parking lot... no snow piles to report.

Rain both days next weekend. Previous runs were dry. I was only talking about next weekend.

12Z GFS is very wet next weekend down there. Totally different than previous runs.

Looks like an area that is supposed to burn naturally... and frequently.

No... but good question. My son does and he might go to Charleston for work. I am tagging along with my wife for a conference.

Live view this morning from a hotel in Bellevue... we had to use free points that were about to expire so did dinner and bowling night with the kids. Heading to Charleston in a few days so stayed very local this time. Unlike all you rich 1% people traveling all over the country on your own dime for a 4-minute eclipse... Charleston is an annual tag long business trip at no expense to us.

I do that all the time... just looking for strong signals either way. Take it as it comes Andrew. We are only here for a short while.

Pretty strong troughy signal on the 00Z EPS towards the end of the run.

00Z ECMWF looks much less troughy later in the run than it's 12Z run. Nice when things trend the good way. Monday is solidly cloudy and chilly... Tuesday ends up quite sunny but still chilly. Then looks like a pretty nice run of sunny, pleasant weather.

Interesting. Maybe colder nights out there? This was 4 days ago in North Bend. Quite a bit farther along now.

Global warming has stopped! Or maybe slowed down. Either way today was huge win.
