Tacoma donut hole... most places are cloudy.

Can we get a backyard pic?

Holy molasses. Almost certainly one of the strongest boreal summer trade surges on record in the satellite era if the healthier cluster verifies.

Any recent attempt warm the subsurface/ENSO is going to get obliterated by this.

Hopefully that means dry and pleasant from July-September.    Almost inevitable if we are following any semblance of normal weather cycles here.

Looks like our averages for the month so far are 62.6/47.3. Good for about a -1.5 departure month to date. Highs about 4 degrees below average, the lows about a degree or so above average due to all the cloud cover. 

I’ll have to check where we’re at when I get home but we’re probably also about -1.5. Might finish the month at or slightly above average which is pretty nice. 

Tacoma WA elevation 300’

Monthly rainfall-3.56”

Warm season rainfall-11.14”

Spent fathers day morning with the old man, went by discovery park. The main trail down to the water is too damaged by erosion due to the heavy rain this Spring and early summer. A small price to pay for general comfort and endless green.

Today is verifying warmer than any previous guidance due to weakened ridging aloft. Cap became less stable and the low levels have mixed happily. Still overcast and cool, but not drizzly and 55

66 here don’t think 70 is in the cards today. We will see if we can hit 80 before the end of the month…even if we do still our latest first +80 already in a decade as it is.

Small price to pay?   So our normal weather is that horrific?   🤔

Torching for weeks on end is horrific. Normal weather is nice in a vacuum; disappointing when in the context of above normal summers this last decade.

Torching and wet is fine for vegetation... like 2019.    Seattle hasn't even been dry over the last decade.    Our normal weather should be able to support our vegetation.   And it does.

It's a beautiful day at my location. Low sixties but very light breeze so it feels like 70 or so. Beautiful and I'm enjoying it.

ECMWF is all over the map as to how this pattern eventually breaks down.

This morning it had the low centered over Oregon.  12z has it coming in north of Washington.

Probably end up passing well to our north and just adds some cooling but no rain.  Fingers crossed.

It's not damaging unless it's 2015 or 2021 levels. Hell 2012 was probably way worse at the end of the year than 2019.

I just like the appearance of green, lush plant life. I know it's a factor of our climate and the vegetation is equipped for it, but the lower biosphere turning brown has always been a disappointment. Late Spring/early summer has always been my favorite part of the warm season because of the lush look to everything.

That's cool.  I like that lush look too.

And your area is is a good place for staying green year round. In the city at sea level surrounded by concrete and away from the water that is an impossibility, barring some 1857/1993 type summer.

Steep lapse rates in the mid levels and extremely high PWAT's. This would be one of the better July thunderstorm outbreaks of all time. Similar evolution to May 4 2017, which placed Seattle under a marginal risk.

18z GFS looks like many of the 12z EPS members, with the ULL cutting through the ridge.

I’m surprised (and pleased) to see the GFS isn’t trapping that ULL in the GOA. I remember last year that bias improved through the summer. Maybe it’s more of a spring/early summer issue.

Looks like maybe we peak around the low 90s in the valley next weekend and then crash hard. I don’t think an above average month is a lock... But we ll see.

Correct, but after last summer it would probably help.

FWIW, the reason most conifers don’t grow well here is because of the tropical-like summers.

I know what you're trying to say here but this is a terrible comparison. The humidity renders heat waves here and heat waves in the midatlantic completely unrecognizable. Even the inland NW where temps regularly get into the 90s have some pine tree growth, and hardly any deciduous growth.

Isn't the South covered in pine forests?

Those scraggly digger pines have no problem growing in very hot summer areas in inland northern/central California either.

Tim had mentioned the warm/wet 2019 being good for the trees. Was trying to say there’s a limit for how “beneficial” that is.

Of course it depends on the species. Plenty of Pines can tolerate that kind of weather, where-as Douglas Firs would have a much harder time.
