Last year there weren't any very notable t'storms before I left southern Oregon. I'd say the last pretty good one happened 8/5/2020 over in KFalls. 

So that was a double downer for 2021, a record warm summer and a lackluster convective year to top it off.

Dire situation in WA state in terms of snowpack and water supply...   ;)

I'm pretty sure the peak in snowpack (at least in Oregon) was higher last year than this year, but it all melted fast.

Maybe on Mount Hood.. in Jan/Feb '21. 

If you compared Springtime moisture to last year it easily beats it, even though mid-late Winter was drier than 2015. Miraculously this Spring happened to be the snowiest since 1933 over by Crater Lake and Klamath Falls.

SLE' s heat island expansion since the 80s is very noticeable. They used to be a pretty reliable spot for radiational cooling, so it's tough to compare to today.

March's warmth also did a lot to minimize meteorological spring's overall anomalies, for just April/May it was fairly impressive across the majority of the region.

 

There has also been an N-S gradient in the below normal departures.

It's called clown range for a reason.

Pretty sure nobody’s been sounding the alarm on drought since September 2021 in western WA.

It could actually become dire if we get a sudden, early heat wave.

At this stage, a run of dry weather with normal temperatures to get it melting (but not too quickly) is what we need.

I assume you mean with flooding... and you could be right.    But there is really nothing in the models that would indicate any heat at all.  

In fact... there does not even appear to be more than 1-2 days of dry weather in sight which is getting pretty strange at this point.

No heat… yet. I have lived in various parts of the PNW for 30+ years now. Not once has there been a summer without a heat wave. As such, I feel safe saying we will have at least one heat wave this summer. If it happens when there is still an abnormally high amount of snow in the mountains, there will be trouble.

Because it interrupted the ENSO cycle and led to a Nina?    Maybe so.   

But even a Nina does not mean rain this persistent here.   To be fair... this is based on the assumption that it will rain almost every day for the next 2 weeks which is what the ECMWF and EPS are showing.    That would be a 2.5 month stretch (75 days) with rain almost every day here and that is exceedingly rare even in the fall and winter.    If we get a week of dry weather coming up then it paints a different and more typical Nina picture in which there are some meaningful dry periods even though its wet overall.   I just don't see that happening.

There was no heat wave in SW BC in 2011.  A couple days touched the mid to upper 80s if you went inland. But that’s about it.

I know what he's getting at. It was kind of like how my place was colder than most of the PNW but that doesn't necessarily mean its always cold outside the summer season. If there was no major temperature spread east of the cascades, that's a pretty kold spring.

Let's go through mid-June first before making that claim. I bet the 4th week of June gets something close to 90.

Totally agree... the first half of June is typically quite wet.     Too early to make claims about the entire summer.

1991 had a very chilly May and June but at the end of June it flipped to extremely nice. Summer basically lasted through mid October that year.

The other day I said it was the 11th coolest May here since 1895 according to the PRISM data. That was not based on the final May data, ended up being the 9th coolest.

After experiencing Junes 2011 and 2012, I thought it was perfectly normal to have graupel storms in June. Those were the only years I saw them that late. My personal latest cold core t'storm happened 6/5/2011.
