He is always too slow.   We had our 3-day ridging period.   That is what he saw coming.

Who wants 105 degrees? 

A summer full days like today would probably make everyone happy.      

You think today is perfection.   I think today is perfection.    So where is the disconnect?

Well our next annual 21st century window of DEATH opens up at the very end of July and then lasts through most of August. So you won't really have to wait too long.

I'd think mostly newcomers complain when its not scorching. 

I noticed yesterday was 84/35 at KLMT. What I would do to have lows like that out here! 😇

This is not exactly true either.    I heard more complaining from my co-workers who were born and raised in the Seattle area than anyone else back in April and May and into the first half of June.    They know its not supposed to be that bad.

Well on a positive note could be a pretty quiet fire season in BC. California could be a problem later in the summer but fire season at the very least is getting delayed in our region even more with decent rain in the WA/OR cascades and some decent precip in central Oregon which still really needs it.

And of course Tuesday and Wednesday are beautiful and sunny up here on the 12Z ECMWF.

This weekend is really going to enforce the old saying about summer really starting on July 5th in Seattle.

The 3rd and 4th will be unusually dark, wet, and cold with thick mid level clouds on top of thick low clouds... the details look just about as nasty as it can get in early July.    Then the morning of the 5th will dawn sunny and dry.   😀

I expect models will continue to really struggle with placement, timing, and amounts of rain with Sunday/Monday's systems. They're quite unusual in that they can't be tracked across the Pacific, but will basically develop right on top of us. 

GFS is wrong.

Like I said a couple days ago... I would love to have the ECMWF and GFS be flipped.    There is no way the GFS will win this battle.

Solar radiation in Seattle on Sunday and Monday is going to be extremely low.   This is not showers and sun breaks.   I predict there will be a Cliff Mass post about the darkness on Tuesday.

I'm loving the stratus. A nice change from the sweltering weekend.

They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result.

This is the 3rd time I’ve predicted a prolonged warmup this spring/summer and each time it’s ended up being a few days then back to cool. 😂

Clearly something is different this year. The same intraseasonal cycles in the tropics that have roasted the PNW since 2013 have not done so in 2022.

I think there’ll be another one in mid-July. But I’m sure that’ll end up being a few days again as well.

The heatwave did bring June to above average in Portland at least, so we didn't break that streak of warm Junes, but maybe we can finally get a cool July/August.

Am I crazy for taking the under on temps late Jul-mid Aug? Because I don’t see any kind of heat signal during that timeframe. Like, zippo.

Though I suppose it’s possible models are wrong w/ handling the suppressed phase of the MJO thru the W-Hem in late July. But I don’t think they’re *that* wrong.

My favorite kind of summer day, nice and comfy.

Diffluent setups that produce broad scale lift are super efficient at saturating the whole column. Means dense, deep cloudcover and lots of precipitation. Very dim lighting.

Obviously every day of the Summer it would suck, but since it only happens a couple times, it's very nice. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that though, right? ;)

Its going to be very noticeable to everyone in Seattle on a holiday.    And I would bet $1,000 that there will be a Cliff Mass blog post about solar radiation on Tuesday.   There are decent rainy days with sun breaks and then there is what is going to happen on Sunday and Monday which will be about as dark as it gets here in the summer.     I can spot this easily on the ECMWF surface maps with multiple thick cloud layers.

The timing is obviously the huge issue this time.   Even you said the only day you really want it to be nice is on the 4th.   😀

Euro overall shows a very cool and wet start to July. Monday could be our wettest July day here at this location since 2019 or even 2014 potentially. I definitely approve since there’s still a good chance it’ll be dry enough for fireworks the evening of the 4th here in the south sound too.

I did! Though I'll also enjoy a rainy and chilly one. Kind of a letdown for outdoor activities like fireworks, but when you're hanging out with good friends and other important people in your life, it fails to matter much.
