Maybe arriving a few days early! I usually have a slow bias. :lol: 

And I hate the +TNH regime with a f**king passion. Just a relentless humidity pump here. I’d rather have a hot/dry pattern than that crap again.

I was hoping we'd avoid the 90s, but as long as it's not long lived I'm fine. I prefer the 70s/low 80s, but let's see what happens!

As long as it isn’t like that the whole summer we will be fine. Gives other parts of the country a break from the heat for a little while. Easy to forget that other parts of the country roast for us to stay cool a lot of times. I’m sure eventually the western troughing will return later in July like you think it will. 

Yeah that's true, the rest of the country bakes while we have had cooler weather, nice to see them get a break

Current Soil Moisture shows some good moisture in the eastern half of WA/OR as well which is nice, the drought monitor has consistently been lowering the drought situation there which is really good to see. Let's hope next winter gives California some much needed precip though

It’s sucked in the Plains/Deep South but has actually been relatively comfortable here thanks to the lower dewpoints. Ridging over the Plains puts us in NW flow more frequently.

If that flips to troughing we end up with SW flow instead. That stupid +TNH pattern is why 8/10 of our hottest summers on record have happened since 2010.

It was gonna torch at least once this summer. That we knew. Let's keep it more limited and weaker than previous years, and respond with troughing.

So my Everett station seems to be having an issue.  It's apparently 0F degrees and cloudy. :D Real temp is 56F.

The 7 day forecast is ok.  Thankfully it doesn't look too hot.  Sad to see so much sunshine.  Hope the clouds stay to some degree.  I already miss the rain.  But it was a good stretch we had.  :)

HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

It hasn't happened yet.  Looks like pretty pedestrian stuff.

Finally this looks about normal.  Been reading the complaining here for weeks about this spring but it hasnt been unpleasant.  Growing has sucked but that looks to improve soon, except for the increase in rabbits this year.  This is still way preferable to almost anywhere in the country.  I am a 2005 transplant and this seems like those first few springs. Summer around the 4th of July.  Got a party planned for the brand new deck on the weekend of the Fourth.  It ought to be awesome.

It has been.  Prove that I'm wrong.

I guess one good illustration of what a bummer spring this was can be seen with the progress my neighbor has made on building his raised garden.  He was all gung ho in March and was making great progress for a while.  For the last month the half completed project has just sat there growing mold and mildew.  It just isn't fun working on projects like that with shitty weather.

The 00Z ECMWF crashed the warmth pretty fast... with another ULL forming by next Sunday.   And the 00Z control run showed the same thing.     The 06Z runs of the EPS and control run go out through 144 hours and are both solid with the ridge at the end though.    But it is a situation ripe for ULL development so it could work out that way.   Minor details will have a large impact on temps coming up and nothing is set in stone.

Unfortunate our nightmare summer has to come at some point. 
 

It’s like death. You know it’s coming, but you are never completely prepared.

Currently raining and 47.

Got down to 51 here this morning. Euro shows one day hitting 77 here and that’s it…then a little rain at the end of the run. Not much of a warm up  there but overall should be some nicer days in there approaching climo for this time of year. 

Tacoma WA elevation 300’

Monthly rainfall-3.56”

Warm season rainfall-11.14”

Max temp-88

Drizzle and 49 degrees. 
.03” so far on the day, 4.84” for the month, 33.60” for the year. 

Summer weather that is the same as winter weather... sounds like a nightmare to me.    Someone should move to the Aleutian Islands where that is climo.   ;)

The ECMWF will have a cool bias in this situation... so you can add 3-5 degrees to most days.      The GFS is the opposite on sunny days.

Even adding 3-5 degrees it really isn’t that big of a warm up though. It’d be our first stretch of a bit above average weather in a long time…which we’re overdue for.

Yeah... telling people they don't actually enjoy something is sort of silly.    I have no doubt that some people would like it to be cloudy and raining every day.

We all know where you stand on the recent weather but atleast you don’t tell people they shouldn’t enjoy it.

The ECMWF definitely wants that ULL to start crashing the party about the 28th or 29th.  If the timing were to speed up then perhaps we get back to building higher heights for the 4th of July.

GFS is off in it's own world and has the low centered over Minnesota.

It's all in how you look at it.  What have you suffered from it?  Much better than intense heat and dry.  Look at the forest.  Lush.

There have been plenty of nice days, with many more on the way.

The sunniest year in both July and August was 1984... which happened to be the most persistently rainy April - June period ever in my area until 2022 took the crown.  Looks like it was a quite a flip in that year... hoping for something similar this year. 

Also interesting that the sunniest July and August was back in the mid 80s and not during any of the recent summers.   And the sunniest year was 1987.    Maybe the 80s weren't so gloomy around here after all. 

That PDX sunshine hour data ended in 1995.

Looked more deeply into that 1984 analog yesterday. If you account for the SST warming since then it’s actually a pretty clear +PDO/+PMM type Niña, kind of like 2017 and 2005 in the Pacific (which is reflected in the reanalysis of streamfunction and VP200). Of course the Atlantic was totally different in 1984, such a far gone era.

So not a great match to 2022. But will remember that year for the next extended IPWP Niña (which tend to occur on the downswing of the solar cycle).
