June 2022 - Summer Begins

[NWbyNW]

The NOAA forecast discussion seems quite positive.  Cooler air coming faster than they expected and we could see temps drop pretty big in the afternoon/evening hours! They've also lowered the high temps slightly for some areas.  That cloud mass moving up the west coast is also ahead of schedule!  All aboard!

Even Tuesday will be one of those weirder summer days where clouds and showers increase throughout the day. Very well could have a noon high temperature. Or a midnight one if things don't cool off so quickly!

Yeah... Tuesday does look a bit unusual with cooling during the afternoon.

Will mean a warm night tho. KSEA will record a 57, book it

[Skagit Weather]

81/59 here today. Temperature is currently at 63F. It's remarkable how rare 60F+ lows are here. I usually only have a couple (if that) during the summer. Unclear whether tomorrow will be warmer or cooler than today. Maybe marine air will push in sooner, but if it doesn't then it could make it to the mid 80s.

Send help, the kids are still awake.

00Z ECMWF did not stick to its guns.    Looks similar to the GFS... and pretty wet Sunday into Monday.    Referring to western WA and not Oregon of course. 

[Deweydog]

Something about drinking in Bend….

Must be the altitude.

[Meatyorologist]

KSEA had a low of 67F yesterday morning. Good god.

Meanwhile, it got down to 56F here in the Meadowbrook Valley. Currently 63F despite temps at the airport and much of the rest of the city remaining at 71F.

An island of yellow amidst a sea of orange. Love this little microclimate.

73 here, starting to feel nice. 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Down to 61F. Much better!

[TT-SEA]

06Z GFS was comically bad for the 4th... all day rain.    The only such day in sight.  

[jakeinthevalley]

Lakeview, OR.......93-39 spread.

Not bad

[Meatyorologist]

Needles, CA yesterday recorded their first instance of precipitation on June 26th since records began in 1940, totaling 0.02"... after a high of 111F. Per NWS Seattle

[Meatyorologist]

KSEA managed to dip barely below the inversion line right after sunrise, crashing to  ~64F at 6am. Back up to 67F now.

[Meatyorologist]

LR 06z GFS looks wonderful for Utah and western CO. They need the rain.

[TT-SEA]

I see the station near my house got up to 95 yesterday.    North Bend also reached a high of 95.

Currently 68 up here and 58 in the valley... that must be the inversion @Meatyorologist mentioned.

Yup

[Meatyorologist]

Got down to 57F here. Will probably have a similar high to yesterday, which reached 91F here.

There is pollen on our car parked in the driveway.    Is it normal to have pollen at this time of year?   Seems strange to me.

Just took a tour of the garden.  Explosive growth of our peas and potatoes.   Also the tomatoes look great now and are growing fast.    Peas will reach top of trellis in a couple days at this rate and I can't remember ever seeing such large potato plants (foreground of second pic).

My allergies have been insane this week.

Let’s not forget… it was 104F in Seattle exactly 1 year ago today. Today’s gonna feel like a walk in the park!

I found out recently that the nasal sprays helps a lot with the allergies Tim. You can get the OTC ones… though it has a really strong alcohol smell to it, it certainly helps. Try that!  
 

Flonase.

Great looking garden! What do you use for soil/compost mix? And do you add any fertilizer?

I would agree with that. Nasal sprays definitely have helped my allergies in recent years and the occasional Zyrtec for an extra bad day.

Good ol south central OR / northeast CA high plateau. This stuff happens all the time there. Saw a 95/36 in Sunriver last year

[Guest administrator]

Kind of hoping for a serious heatwave. Well, not kind of, a lot of hope.

[Skagit Weather]

Pretty impressive temps swings overnight here. 59F at 2:30 but a northeasterly breeze kicked up at that time and the temperature was 70F by 3:30. Dropped back down before sunrise as the wind dropped.

[The Blob]

Already 83 here

[Phishy Wx]

suppose to be 92 today.  was 88 yesterday.  thinking about turning on AC but its still pretty comfortable in the main level of my home.  Only really hot in the upstairs Bonus Room so may be able to wait on AC.  got down to 51 last night with all the windows open and fans on I got pretty cold.

We bought in 5 yards of vegetable soil mix in April.

Gonna be sure to experience this one. Wow. In just 3 hours.

Only a 13F drop. Seems fairly normal and only 79F for a high.

What would you rather have.. a near 90s drop into the 60s or upper 70s into the 60s?

[Doinko]

I was looking at February 1995, and for some reason Downtown Portland recorded 10 inches of snow while the NWS recorded only 3.6 inches? Was there some error measuring or something? Or did the east metro not get much at all?

Interesting, I didn't see that kind of swing up here this time around.  Good thing it dropped down, it would suck to give the day at much of a headstart.

 

 

We are clouding up here in Bellingham, that said it is currently 78

[Cascadia_Wx]

Only got down to 66 overnight here, but today is running at a slightly cooler pace than yesterday despite that. Currently 78.
