Ah. Played that once in probably 2002 or 2003 with a good friend and his grandfather who died not too long after. One of my childhood golf courses where I spent many summers at camp etc closed down in mid aughts sometime. Was so weird to see it overgrown and abandoned. They did nothing with it. Tall chief RIP

If it was spring or summer when you played at Kayak you probably saw me in a hole digging up a irrigation mainline to fix one of so many leaks haha! Yeah I went and walked Kayak the summer after it shut down, it was surreal! Both pics are me standing on 7 green looking back at the fairway…Just 14 years apart.

Yes... the first half April before even the mid-point of meteorological spring is usually considered summer.  

Seattle has the most hot and humid summers in the country... so hopefully no summer this year.

Just got back from Pullman... light rain at home now.     The vegetation in far eastern WA is still just barely coming out of dormancy.    Central WA is much greener and the trees are farther along.    Its even more advanced here though... there was a huge difference in terms of spring progression in last 15 miles of that trip as we came down from Snoqualmie Pass.

Thursday will be very nice out. Seattle may very well be one of the warmest areas Eugene north. After that the "hammer" drops from the north.

So where is this rain and storm that was supposed to be here all day Sunday?  It's breezy and overcast, but nothing has happened yet.  It's been breezy since this morning. Radar is showing it's raining on me right now, but it isn't.  I also drove 10 miles away and it said it was raining, it also wasn't.

It'll still be summer, just maybe not weeks straight of 100's. 

We all have different perceptions on what summer is; a cold July in most places actually feels nice. I bet that translates to 80 and days in a row of thunderstorms over here.

Your area is usually squarely in the rain shadow in these AR set ups with SW flow... not a surprise that its drier up there.    Its going exactly as the models showed.

Yeah that was tongue in cheek. Pretty sure we’re going to roast this summer. But maybe we’ll get lucky and repeat 2008. 🤞 

Highs in the low 80s is as “cool” as it gets here in July unless there’s heavy precipitation that starts in the morning and lasts through midday. Which is rare.

All day sounds hard to achieve. But several courses from morning to night no problem. I'd on a rare occasion have a setup in K-Falls where a t'storm woke me up, another one 3-4 hours later, then one at dinner time, and one before I'm going to bed in the same day and still reached near forecast high temperature (maybe got to 88 and was supposed to be 92).

Yeah any sunshine and the temp will skyrocket. The real big severe days are often sunny/capped then erupt late in the day, around 4/5pm.

The days with lots of early convection tend towards more garden variety storms unless mid-level lapse rates are exceptionally steep (we often struggle with that).

The one thing you don’t want is to be sitting right under a ridge. Shuts down convection, and what little does develop has no shear to work with.

Man, two different offers on two different houses and lost out on both of them. I thought we were escaping the crazy housing market just a bit but it's just as bad over here. We went $16k over asking on one house and lost because the other offer went $33k over asking. Just stupid. It's been very stressful and challenging but we are trying to stay positive and keep going. Everything happens for a reason, right? That's what we are telling ourselves.

On a weather note, the same system affecting you guys now will bring wind, rain, and snow to South Dakota Tues-Thurs. It will be good to get more precip as most of SD and especially down into NE are experiencing drought conditions, some more extreme than others. Any little bit helps.

It’s still insane everywhere it sounds like. Also I just noticed that our house is now estimated to be worth over 400k from when we bought it 4yrs ago…INSANE!

Tomorrow could be pretty interesting weather wise. 45-50mph wind gusts and thunderstorm potential. Not to mention a good shot of rain and mountain snow.

It is somewhat interesting that we may get our strongest wind event of the season tomorrow. Definitely more interesting than April has been in awhile.

In terms of snow in April…I’ve only personally seen it here a couple times. Obviously there’s April 2008, but I also remember us getting wet 35 degree snow for several hours on 4/1/09. Then I also recall a couple years ago now either 2019 or 2020 we had some snow mixed in with the rain.

Not really all that impressive here. Still 50F and the occasional sprinkle. So vastly different even just a couple hundred miles to the south.
