My forecast was an ode to the Canadian and Tim and Alan Thicke's honor. It was based entirely upon it. It said no way to no way proclamations.

I am very worried. Light jacket usage may increase 15-20%.

I thought there was no way PDX sees 85-90? Historic AND impossible to predict!

No... Common sense tells us it's possible but not likely.

Common sense is a powerful but scarce resource.

The the fun irony will be when our area is ravaged by the Cascadia earthquake Memorial Day Weekend and we all die horrific deaths before this summer even starts. I think at this point we should be more focused on the potential and analogs for an apocalyptic earthquake/tsunami/marine push perfect storm.

100 this afternoon in Newport?

That's Celsius, not Fahrenheit.

PDX: 79/44 85/49 80/53 70/48 70/48

Oh fun! I guess I better look at the models...

It's rough living above 1,100 feet ASL.

Came off like he was wishing you into forum obscurity.

We went to Five Guys this evening and the fries were a little overcooked. Any thoughts on what this might mean for summer?

Ouch!

Seemed like a good possibility it would with the basin cooling as it had. March/April could be back up around 2.

The blob is more powerful and all knowing than god.

Those toasty 53 degree waters are gonna work their magic.

You post more than anyone while you're on vacation by far, dingle dork.

How's this, summer will be warmer than it is right now. I don't have much of an opinion right now and generally don't get much of a feel for summer all that often. I suspect it's by far the most difficult season to predict for the fact wavelengths are so short, forcing so weak and the fact our area is so susceptible to significant swings based on fairly subtle changes to the 500mb pattern. I'll take stab at it in a few weeks for fun.

85 or 86 on Thursday wouldn't surprise me one bit at this point. That would put the event in pretty rarified air.

Y'all better start toeing the line with your recreational activities.

Soooooooooooo.... what have we learned???

I don't see a significantly cool period being very likely, at least one that would last for a significant period of time.

It can get cold any time it sees fit, which is a good way to look at it considering there isn't a D**n thing I can do about it. Like I tell my kids, put on sweater.
