That call and early winter was a fun stretch.

Sun angle seems to have gotten lower just within the last hour here.

See... Low sun angles.

With another 85+ high today, Astoria has now had three in a row. Second time in their history, the other being the August 1981 show.

Not necessarily. We can see heights well into the 580's pretty much any time of year. Late October 2003 featured 600dm heights just offshore prior to the big retrogession at the end of the month.

I think the broad point is that there isn't really any precedence for taking a hot summertime pattern, putting it in late October and making it notably cool. Obviously anomalies will be less pronounced, but it's still warm, relatively speaking. A few weeks later, once the transition to gap winds/inversions is established, that changes.

Hard to call +10 high temperatures cool/cold. PDX is also far more likely at that point to have issues decoupling compared to summertime offshore flow patterns. Frustration.

With heights well into the 580's and good mixing? Not likely.

Pretty much any strong subsidence pattern will be cooler than average about three months from now.

Lowest sun angles since at least 2008, possibly 1968.

...for all intensive purposes.

No... TIMING will tell!

Sun angle definitely has a different feel to it this year.

The lower heights are probably the biggest ?-mark inducer. Should still see pretty much full sunshine and a warm start however. Timing is everything!

We'll be here for moral support.

Sunday was preceded by a true reversal, though.

Tomorrow's kind of a tough call. Tonight's marine push isn't traditional. I'm thinking 83-84.

As of yet we have neither of those items on our property. Maybe in 2017...

52 here. And that's despite a new concrete pad we had poured earlier this month.

UHI cancel.

62.

How about no one is an outlier? One happy, big-a** anomalous family!

Yakima is the new public enemy airport #1.

Sure. Taking the average of several stations seems wise. Nothing groundbreaking there.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the region's anomalies match the region best.
