  1. Lots of overperforming temps down in the state you don’t consider part of the region, though. PDX hit 83, most forecasts had them around 80.
  2. One scenario that could really help the region out is what some people here live in absolute fear and dread of. A summer trough parking itself directly over the PNW for 3-4+ days with stratiform rain and drizzle at times. The problem is baking under ridging and warm anomalies for months/weeks then getting these glancing blows from weak troughs that aren’t even able to fully move through the region. Just enough to stir things up without any of the benefits.
  3. Big step back on the 00z Euro/EPS compared to the 12z run. That was probably our high water mark for midsummer.
  4. The overperforming monsoon season to date down in the SW is one of the few pieces of good news on the weather front that I have managed to glean lately. It's an important one.
  5. The persistent warmth down south coupled with your penchant for exaggeration is going to result in a pretty crooked number come the end of September.
  6. 86 sure is a popular high for PDX lately. Still sitting at one 90 on the month for them, top end of 88 here. That could last at least another 5-7 days judging by the models. It’s the little things.
  7. Really nice looking 12z Euro and EPS runs. Let’s hope we can see things get gradually watered down in the coming days.
  8. Climatology didn’t seem to matter too much when we were struggling to get a drop of rain all spring, and hitting highs 40 degrees above average at the end of June. Heaven forbid we ever see anything even approaching the other side of the coin though. Might need a light jacket
  9. Why don’t you just go away for awhile. There must be some Colorado weather forums.
  10. Appears to be a new smoke plume in the Oregon Cascades south of Detroit Lake this afternoon. Hopefully it’s in the middle Santiam Wilderness. Would be pretty neat if we could lose every acre of old growth in the western Cascades of Oregon to fire or drought by the end of this season. Got a nice head start last year.
  11. PNW troughing force field in full effect on the 12z Euro through day 10. Wont be too long before we’ve burned through all of our averagish weather points and are due for another regional heat event.
  12. Thank GOD. The trough is weakening on the Euro. I was pissing my pants every hour on the hour for a minute there worrying it might actually rain. #stolensummer
  13. I’m still here ain’t I? I don’t think I’ve ever whined about being downvoted, and I’ve gotten plenty, many deserved.
  14. Stop making things accurate/personal!!!!
  15. Similar sentiment here (with a few well deserved exceptions) Glad you decided to come back.
  16. I don’t know if the fall “green up?” will do a whole lot. Like I said we won’t know the true toll until this spring. At that point we will have a good idea of what will come back for another season and what will just stay dead. I fear a lot of things just might not come back at all considered the awful timing of the event following a record dry spring and hitting at a point where many plants and trees were already at the pinnacle of heat/drought stress after the last several years. Could change the look of the region pretty noticeably.
  17. There have been a few others (TacomaWx, etc) and I really can’t blame them.
  18. The impact on vegetation tells that story pretty clearly. I am continually amazed how widespread it is.
