TacomaWaWx Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 We had 0 minutes of +70 weather in 2011. Meanwhile looking at this month…should finish -3.4 below normal. Also +1.79” of precip. The positive precip anomalies the last 2 months definitely made up for the deficit in March. We will finish this spring +0.15” with 10.56” of rain. 3 Quote Tacoma WA elevation 300’ Monthly rainfall-3.56” Warm season rainfall-11.14” Max temp-88 +80 highs-2 +85 highs-2 +90 highs-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 Easy to understand why the jet is extending (poleward transport of AAM previously deposited in the tropics via torques) but still can’t recall very many of these events during the warm season under a falling AAM integral. Just a bizarre pattern all around. Mid-latitude wave propagation essentially stalls for a week while this is ongoing. 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...

A correction was long overdue. Average high is just about 70 now. A normal spring would have significantly more hours above 70 by the end of May just from the normal ebb and flow of patterns with warm and cool periods. This spring has been very slanted in the cold and wet direction. Good news is that spring ends today and the next one is likely to be much better... which will be easy to do. 1 2 Quote **REPORTED CONDITIONS AND ANOMALIES ARE NOT MEANT TO IMPLY ANYTHING ON A REGIONAL LEVEL UNLESS SPECIFICALLY STATED** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLI snowman Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 2 hours ago, Phil said: Heat stays largely suppressed to the south on the 12z EPS. Would be nice if this could continue through the month of June, like 1955 and 1948, both of which had decent troughing across much of the CONUS through early summer (though 1948 was hot in the West for 2-3 weeks). In fact, 1955 is the only year without a 70+ low here in June. Early June 1955 actually did have a freak heat wave in the PNW. Still the earliest 100+ reading on record for Seattle, with Downtown hitting 100 on 6/9. Of course the "extreme" cold and troughing of that year resumed very soon afterwards and didn't look back until another little heat spike in early September. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow drift Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 I expect a cooler and wetter than average June. I experienced Spokane's coldest one in 1991. I also experienced May 1984 and May 1996, which are the 2nd and 3rd coldest Mays on record. 21/31 May Record lows at KGEG were set in my lifetime. I experienced July 1986 and July 1993. They are Spokane's coldest Julys on record. I expect 60 degrees and drizzle on the 4th of July this year. We're due. It will likely be the coldest one since 2000. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
