There is no additional benefit to putting more water on a sopping wet sponge. It doesn't change anything. If our vegetation prefers climo then some dry days would probably be beneficial. But we seem to just get is one extreme or the other. In the long run the more rain we get in the spring the better. Winter rain is heavier and has more of a tendency to just run off. Also there is a huge tangible difference between getting over an inch of rain and getting a few hundredths.

The entire eclipse will be over five hours long, starting at 9:32 p.m. EDT on Sunday, May 15, and lasting until 2:50 a.m. EDT on Monday, May 16. However, the total phase of the eclipse, when the moon changes color, will last only about an hour and a half, starting at 11:29 p.m. EDT and ending at 12:53 a.m. EDT. The middle of the eclipse will be the best time to look at the moon and will occur at 12:11 a.m. EDT.

What really matters for tropical circulation as it relates to ENSO/etc is differential heating (IE: where are SSTs warm/cold relative to other places). You can see a *relatively* warm off-equator NPAC in that image, in addition to a +SIOD, +SPMM, and -AMM. All of which are lacking this year. That’s basically the cold globe/post-eruption version of 2014. This year is more like an enhanced 2011 in the deep tropics. 2 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 And the retrogression back to classical -PNA doesn’t happen until after D10. This week is a subseasonal aberration from the seasonal base state and it’s still managing to end up on the cool/wet side. When the flow slows down and NPAC high builds back in, another anomalously chilly west coast airmass seems likely. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland had a lot of high 80s I think. They had 41 90+ days. I think it was a record. Also hit 100 in late July and 103 TWICE in August.

SilverFallsAndrew Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 The mid/late week trough isn't as wet on this run, but then a very wet system comes through Saturday night/Sunday morning. 1 Quote Snowfall Precip 2022-23: 95.0" 2022-23: 17.39" 2021-22: 52.6" 2021-22: 91.46" 2020-21: 12.0" 2020-21: 71.59" 2019-20: 23.5" 2019-20: 58.54" 2018-19: 63.5" 2018-19: 66.33" 2017-18: 30.3" 2017-18: 59.83" 2016-17: 49.2" 2016-17: 97.58" 2015-16: 11.75" 2015-16: 68.67" 2014-15: 3.5" 2013-14: 11.75" 2013-14: 62.30 2012-13: 16.75" 2012-13: 78.45 2011-12: 98.5" 2011-12: 92.67" It's always sunny at Winters Hill!

And that pattern does flip very quickly on both of those runs. This is just a couple days later on the EPS... When looking at these ensemble means keep in mind there’s likely going to be a rapid snap back from the extended jet, to a Niña-esque -PNA/NPAC ridge, a process that will not show up well at-range. The pattern is poised to become much less progressive by the end of the month into early June (and much more like your typical -ENSO low frequency pattern). We might go right into a Plains death ridge pattern during the first week of June. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the most 90 degree days, the 117 degrees reading, and the hottest summer on record. And Salem's climate records go back to the late 1800s! Last summer was crazy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Salem's climate records go back to the late 1800s! Last summer was crazy. In the Seattle area it was much more reasonable after the insane June heatwave. It will be most interesting to see if this summer can pull off a full 180 from last. Whatever happens it will at least get less gloomy /wet than what we've been seeing. That is inevitable from an historical perspective. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

That is inevitable from an historical perspective. Yeah the Puget Sound area was basically an oasis in a PNW blast furnace. It was ridiculously hot east of the Cascades too... As I said last night, I think the fact it wasn't as hot comparatively in Seattle, kind of makes it hard for Puget Sounders to relate to what other posters on this forum went through last summer. But even that aside, it's pretty astonishing how hot some of our recent summers have been August 2017 stands out as just being insane, July 2018 was very hot, though it didn't have extreme heat, 18 90+ days at SLE. August 2016 had some obscene heatwaves too. June/July 2015, even the summers of 2013 and 14 were very hot down here. Summer 2019 was not terrible though, SLE did somehow manage to hit 100 in late August and had a significant June heatwave, but overall it was only a warm summer. 2020 had a couple big heatwaves too, but was only a "warm" summer too.
