I think that’s 62 or 63 days with measurable rain so far this spring. Farmers are definitely starting to worry. Crops are a good 3 weeks behind at this point and a lot of fields remain unworkable. Some flood preparations underway in parts of the interior. With so much snow remaining in the high elevations, it could be a quick melt if we get any warm weather in June. Much more dreary here than I thought it was going to be as well. Dry but it looks like it could rain any minute. Only 49 degrees as well. 1 Quote Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

SilverFallsAndrew Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Tim's mention of the 2011 fire season had me look up the 2012 fire season, which I knew was pretty bad... At the time it set the 100 year record for the worst fire season in the PNW. This followed a winter with high snowpack and a fairly wet spring. However, once things dried out, we had an incredibly long dry streak, there was also a lot of thunderstorm activity that summer. Then, 2013 was the worst fire season in Oregon since 1951. 2014 was another bad fire season, as was 2015. However, in 2016 wildfires in Oregon were down significantly, that was the least acreage burned since 2010. 2017 was another bad season with about 451K acres burned, and 2018 was twice as bad. 2019 was the quietest wildfire season in Oregon since 2004 with only 67K acres burned, then came the very bad fire seasons of 2020 and 2021, though it is important to note the 2020 season was not bad until the big blow up around Labor Day.

But the ECMWF is struggling almost as much with this pattern right now. It’s objectively indisputable that the ECMWF is scoring better than the GFS at 500mb. It’s not even remotely close. What’s interesting about the upcoming pattern evolution is that, while model guidance tends to struggle during these changes in AAM tendency during CCKW orbits thru the W-Hem, they’re actually quite predictable in many if not most cases with only a few EOFs the system state prefers to enter through and thereafter. Of course if there are a lot of destructively interfering responses it can muddy the picture, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here.

Its very rare for it to be wet all summer... even more so down there. So if cold/wet springs like 2011 and 2012 led to major fire seasons then its probably something that is pretty hard to avoid... and its part of a healthy ecosystem of course so that might be why its hard to avoid.

It is worth noting that the GFS started picking up on this evolution before the ECMWF/EPS. Not really. It’s just slightly more aggressive in transporting AAM from tropics. All in the timing. The large scale picture is essentially unchanged. Except there are seasonal changes in teleconnections to p7/8/1/2 orbits via inception of the ISM and insolation/etc, so the response to the jet retraction will likely be a large Central US ridge in early/mid June, with a NPAC/Aleutian ridge also likely.

The 10 year average from 2001-2010 was 312,000 acres a year. In the 2012-2021 period only 2016 and 2019 burned less than the 2001-2010 average, probably not a coincidence that 2016 and 19 were also our coolest summers since 2013. The fact we've had 9 consecutive dry springs, MAY also play a role. 2012 was skewed by a record breaking summer dry spell, and a massive range fire in SE Oregon...

Phil Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Here’s a hovmoller perspective of that CCKW in terms of velocity potential @ 200mb. Actually an extraordinarily clean wave, that completes the w2 circuit (typical of CCKWs) and brings the system back to a w1/canonical p8/1/2 MJO cycle (which is clearly beginning later in week-2). 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...

SilverFallsAndrew Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 This fire stuff is fascinating... Sorry I'm totally geeking out... Reading the 2021 report it is interesting because lightning activity was pretty low compared to average in June, July, and August. This Century the most lightning recorded in June was in 2004, which is interesting given that was the quietest fire season of the Century, so that could be interpreted that those were #1 likely wet storms, and #2 lightning in June is less likely to get fires going as it is early enough in the season. In that particular season the wet June probably outweighed the significant amount of lightning. The July with the most lightning this Century was 2012, and August it was 2013. Both of those were bad fire seasons. It looks like last season actually had the fewest strikes this century. The top 3 seasons for lightning strikes since 2000 are: 2013, 2014, 2012. The 10 year average for Oregon in the 2011-2020 period is about twice as high as the previous 10 year average. 662K acres a year compared to 312K acres a year in the 2001-2010 period. 3 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!

I was thinking of famous NBA players who wore each number. We would start, of course, with the Big "O". The look on his face matches the way I will feel about our first 90º+: Maybe Gus? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascadia_Wx Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 66/45 spread today. Mostly sunny skies with scattered cumulus early then higher clouds moving in late in the afternoon. Another really nice day. 2 Quote Summer grows while Winter goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doinko Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/pqr/paststorms/ This page was pretty interesting to read. One thing I found were snow totals from January 1950 (in Oregon): Portland Airport: 41.0 inches Downtown Portland: 32.9 inches Troutdale: 36.7 inches Hillsboro: 42.4 inches Molalla: 30.0 inches Forest Grove: 59.0 inches Oregon City: 34.0 inches Estacada: 31.0 inches McMinnville: 47.0 inches Salem: 32.8 inches Albany: 54.7 inches Eugene: 36.0 inches Roseburg: 28.0 inches Medford: 20.1 inches One interesting thing is the big difference in snow totals between Albany and Salem despite not being that far apart. Also, looks like Hillsboro did better than Downtown, the Airport, and a lot of the eastern suburbs. The past few years have had the eastern areas and the airport do a lot better than places like Hillsboro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
