The interesting thing about the pic is it leaves you wondering if they knew were going to die when they took it.  It almost looks like it.  Haunting.

They were just goofing around there... they shared that pic before the crash.  They did not know they were about to die there.   Hydroplaning in heavy rain and got hit by a semi.     One minute you are here and the next minute you are gone.

The GEFS and CMC solutions make a lot more sense to me w/re to the AL/TPV.

The GFS operational sticks out like a sore thumb. I think we’ve been here before. :rolleyes:

The GFS certainly hints that things may get nicer for week two.  The EPS also shows the EPO coming down substantially.  We shall see.

Nice through hr170, then goes nuts with the ridging. Would rather be good in the short range and bad in the long range than the other way around.

Aren't we to the time of year people want ridging though?  As for me I want a big fat GOA ridge with cool / fairly dry NW flow over the NW. We have had plenty of rain and mountain snow up here.  Same old story I guess.

Not all people.    Some would be happy with rain every day.

Horrible.  In that case you are most certainly right.  It is amazing how tenuous our existence really is.

There is no such time of year. 😡

But if I had to choose it would be spring.

Just mind blowing to me.  To me March and April can be almost unbearable if the winter gloom hangs on.  At least this year we had some big time below normal temps and some breaks to go with it.

For me colder and drier than normal about 90% of the time.  The other 10% can be cold and wet.

Lots of bird poop and moss in the last pic!     I am guessing this will bother Matt... since he expressed concern over Randy's dirt spilling a little over the edges of the tarp he laid down in the driveway.   😃

Troughing this time of year is around 60 and more sunny than not, with varying amounts of convective activity. Stellar, incredible weather. Fundamentally different than Nov-Mar troughing.

If you live near the water... not so much inland.   As I assume you know.  👍

I guess we have fundamentally different experiences between identical weather systems based on our climate. And, actually, I think you'd know your local microclimate better than I would. I'm sure you can read a basic regional weather chart and determine how the day will go around North Bend better than I can because you've been living there for a couple decades now.

Anything is preferable to a death ridge.

No convection, disappearing snow, wildfire smoke, dying vegetation, and heat stroke. 🤮 🤮

There is a sweet spot over Seattle during warm season troughing.    I wouldn't mind troughing as much if lived in Seattle.   Of course there are many other trade offs involved.

You guys call everything that is not cold troughing a death ridge.     It loses its meaning entirely.  😀

I hate concrete jungles. City noise, traffic, pollution, no stars, trees, or wildlife. Yuck.

Just not healthy or natural to have so many people crammed together like that, imo. NYC found that out the hard way in April 2020.

Regardless of the other issues... Seattle is consistently the sunniest and driest place in the area during warm season troughs.    I completely understand the different perspective of someone living there.     Bainbridge Island is also in that sweet spot.     And that is another world compared to Seattle.    I could handle living there.

I think you’d be in heaven out here during the summer. 😃 Seldom drops below 70°F, and the sun is too strong for low clouds to hold, even with onshore flow.

But obviously lots of people love living in big cities... NYC included.

Of course don't let that fact fool you, I am more partial than not to clouds. I would rather have 365 days of clouds than 356 days of sun. Neither is preferable of course...a healthy mix is good. In fact the happiest time of year for me is June through September, when we see the most sun.

Seattle still gets clouds and rain during warm season troughs... but the sun is much more reliable there.   Big difference.

Some midlevel convection embedded within this advancing line. Midlevel winds out of the SE alongside modeled instability sourced around 800mb or so supports this. Currently a cell drifting across the Sound, popped up quite quickly. Off chance of a one strike wonder in the area as this occluded front advances overhead.

Surprisingly windy here this morning with rain pounding against the front windows in November fashion.     We didn't have any wind with the system on Saturday morning.

I am guessing Seattle will be close to normal rainfall for all of May by Sunday.

Tomorrow looks quite gloomy and drizzly... the moisture and low clouds get stuck after this system passes.
