His daughter and 7 others died too though. Also it's the Lakers current superstar who supports totalitarian regimes in the name of social justice and said that the Rockets GM "wasn't educated". That's why I stopped watching. But this can be continued in the politics thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just very thick low and mid level clouds. I imagine that is going to be an unusually low solar radiation day around Seattle... ECMWF only show 56 that day. Even a rainy day should be able to hit 60 at this time of year. Probably too cold, Euro tends to under-mix marine layers.

Phishy Wx Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 looking forward to some action on Friday evening! Friday: Confidence is increasing that areas along the WA/ID border will see the best chance for strong to severe thunderstorms. A cutoff low will move towards the Oregon coast, spinning up moisture and energy into the area due to a southernly flow. MUCAPE values are forecasted to be between 1000 and 2000 J/kg which is significant for this area. Dew points Friday afternoon will also reach into the 60s with temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s, along with a significant amount of atmospheric shear. PWATs are also forecasted to be extremely high on Friday for this time of year with values showing between 1 to 1.5 inches. But what does that mean? Basically, that heavy to torrential rain will be a threat with any storm that forms. We will keep a close eye on Friday as if the ingredients continue to line up, we could see strong to severe storms that have a northernly track. The best timing for storms seems to be later than what normally occurs with the late afternoon into late evening showing the best potential. Areas along the Canadian border have a chance of thunderstorms but there is a limited amount of the energy needed to sustain strong to severe storms but heavy rain still remains a concern. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be some kind of CCKW/MJO reaching the West-Pacific. Looks brief, though. I’d wager against any significant and/or prolonged heat. And by mid/late July there’s a renewed bout of IO convection/West-Pacific subsidence that would favor another cycle of -PNA/troughing, should that come to fruition. 1 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...

They haven't even had precip on that day since 1986. I guess the closest would be the high of 62 on 7/4/1977 (which had 0.01" precip).

Meatyorologist Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 27 minutes ago, Skagit Weather said: Not completely true depending on your definition of cold and your location. For average summer high temperature OLM was basically just as cold in 2011 (and to a slightly lesser extent in 2010 and 2012) to 2001. All those summers were 2.5-3 degrees below average for highs. BLI average summer high temp was colder in 2008 than 2001 and actually even the infamous summer of 1954 only had high temps half a degree lower than 2008. For SEA the summer of 2001 had an average high temp 2 degrees colder than anything in the 2008, 2010-12 range, but that's really the only station where that is the case. Renton, Sand Point, PAE and basically every other station I glanced at in W WA has had a top 10 if not a top 5 coldest summer within the last two decades. Obviously the coast is not the I-5 corridor, but looking at NWS stations and basing on average high temperature, 2010 was actually Hoquiam's coldest summer on record (since 1953) and 2008 was Quillayute's coldest summer on record (since 1966). That is quite interesting... I had been meaning to compare other sites but never got around to it. It seems urbanization is killing off "cold summer" potential as nights grow increasingly warmer in the city. High temps are a better barometer (for lack of a better word) for representing the overall chilliness of a season nowadays, and that stat clearly shows a smoother, more believable upward trend over the decade, with historically significant cold in that department from late March onwards this year. Lows on the other hand have been on the cold side, but not quite so notable at KSEA. 1 Quote Weather stats for MBY Snowfall: -Total snowfall since joining: 50.25" -2018-19: 21" -2019-20: 2.5" -2020-21: 13" -2021-22: 8.75" -2022-23: 5.75" -2023-24*: 0.25" -Most recent snowfall: 0.25”; January 17th, 2024 -Largest snowfall (single storm): 8.5"; February 12-13, 2021 -Largest snow depth: 14"; 1:30am February 12th, 2019 Temperatures: -Warmest: 109F; June 28th, 2021 -Coldest: 13F; December 27th, 2021 -Phreeze Count 2023-24: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Lord... that is not the point. Neither are our normal summer weather. One extreme or the other. 3 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...
Omegaraptor Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Soils are now nearly record wet in NW Oregon. Drought concerns are basically nonexistent for most of OR and WA. That gradient around the OR/CA border is still pretty crazy though. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
