There's no guarantee it continues throughout the summer. I should have stipulated the summer is indeed uncertain given recent trends. I was pretty much thinking overall for the next year. Usually when cool weather gets locked in with a Nina it takes a Nino to stop it. I think this year will be our best shot at a cool summer for the next few years. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

The west end of the ridge as viewed from North Bend is mostly deciduous trees which is the result of being clear cut in the 1980s. Those deciduous trees probably go up to 2K in elevation and I noticed earlier this week that the entire canopy is now green up there. I went to the state park and we are a bit ahead of where they are it seems. More direct sunlight here.

Pretty amazing run of wet days that will go for at least another week (to get to a month). Its usually good to get this out of the way early in the warm season. It never keeps up this pace. Even in 2010... 30 days was as long as it could go but that was mid May through mid June. Nice thing about this stetch... 3 of the 4 dry days have fallen on Sunday. We have gotten a decent amount of sun here despite the troughy pattern and rain most days. This time of year, I actually prefer deep troughs with the showers and sunbreaks vs. marine layer days or warm front drizzle. But I would not complain about a stronger ridge for a few days at this point either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
