We hit 61 this morning, but it is down to 50 now. 0.30" of rain on the day. 

This SATANIC rainfall is a blessing Andrew.

I am pretty sure this is the first time I have ever been on I-90.

Right on!

Hmm not bad for almost June, I bet the sun breaks are putting in some work bringing those gusts to the surface.

Too bad it's such a gloomy day.   That view is beautiful when it's nice with the lake in the foreground and Rainier in the distance to the south.

Lived in Western Washington my entire life (45yrs) and I have never been up the Space Needle.

Baffin Island still shattering cold records for all of Canada.

It was gusting to 46mph in the last hour at EUG. Power is out a couple of blocks away and my internet is down. No casualties so far though.

SEA is sitting at 52 as of 4:30.  That is flat out impressive.  At least this isn't a warm gloomy situation.

Safe to say we are in an uber amplified regime right now.  Maybe the solar grand minimum is finally coming home to roost.

Glad we are on the north side of the low.  My yard doesn't need wind right now.

Feels like the opposite of amplified... seems very progressive with no sharpness to the troughs.   Hence we have rain almost every day.

Good old climate change

55/46 today…pretty chilly day. 0.07” today and 3.71” this month.

Rather interesting that you and SEA have been cooler than here a number of times this month.  I have 59/47 for the day.  I did have a 37 degree low last week which was pretty impressive though.

The climate is always changing, and has for millions of years.

[snow_wizard]

These have to be the absolute worst model runs I've seen for this time of year.  Just absurdly wet.  At least one of the days next weekend looks like a total loss at this point.

You have higher max temps usually but have colder nights. Coldest low here this month was 38 on 5/9…and just 25 freezes this cold season. Less than half of the freezes you got this season.

Yeah...I was referring to min temps especially.  Quite unusual how many have been chillier near the Sound.  In the winter my maxes are often lower than SEA, but during the warmer part of the year they can often be warmer.

Think a lot of it during the last 2 months has maybe just been us clearing out better overnight? I know that was the case of quite a few mornings when I ended up several degrees cooler.

Liquid sunshine!

At least we have another stretch of nice days in a couple days. It’s nothing like a couple weeks ago when it was relentless and there was no end in sight. Some thunderstorms would be nice though. With any luck we might have some in the pipeline next week.

[The Blob]

My rain gage has 3/4in in it. must be wet. As far as states I've been to, mostly south and southwest.

[TacomaWaWx]

I haven’t been to many states…need to see more. I’ve been to Washington and Oregon obviously…but also California, Idaho, Montana, Illinois, Texas, Louisiana and Hawaii.

Absolute rainfall bust today for Portland. .26” in the bank and maybe another .10” in the next 24 hours if we’re lucky.

Overall its hard to be disappointed about the last couple months though. Has been incredibly beneficial for the region.

Another WWA for the Oregon Cascades. 5-10” forecast with more above 6k. Ski season is going to go into July at this rate.

Climatology speaking, that is really wet for...everyone.

Apparently we really need more rain... or so I have read.

The pattern later in the week definitely looks favorable for convection.

00z GFS spawns **5** warm core low pressure centers over the NATL through D8. Absurd. Shut it down.
