June 2022 - Summer Begins

[Cloud]

BFI touched 90 at 2pm obs. First 90 of the summer!

[Cloud]

Looks like we may be getting the shift from the westerlies now as opposed to N winds we've been seeing.

Out of curiosity, what is the strongest nina in the period of record? I legitimately don't know.

1916-17, 1973-74, and 1988-89 all seem to be contenders.

Never seen a marine layer that cold. Is the ocean iced over yet?

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?

The blowing and drifting at PDX and at points a little further east made their measurements with that storm pretty worthless. I would say most of the metro had 6-10" on average, with the heaviest totals in SW Portland.

Only off of Orange County.

Could only managed a 15 in typically a 30-45 mins walk out there in this heat.  Got tired right quick.

Comparison between current SSTAs (top) and the same day in 1988 (bottom)...

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Looks like PDX was 97 at 2:50p.

96 at the hour with the WSW push beginning in earnest. I would say they are done.

[TT-SEA]

I thought Lake Sammamish water temp would get to 75 by the end of today... almost there.

You meant 28 lower than yesterday, not -28 F?

This might legitimately take the cake for the most unstable sounding I've ever seen here.

Yeah, kind of a joke at this point.

[Meatyorologist]

KSEA up to 89F, now 1F ahead of yesterday ‍

[TT-SEA]

18Z GFS continues the theme of a wet and chilly 4th... every run is showing it now.   Ironically its pretty nice on Sunday and again on Tuesday.   But the actual holiday seems destined to be cursed this year... which is probably fitting.    No 2011 type luck this year when it was sunny and 75-80 degrees on the 4th.

Looks like 2010 was the last year to have any precipitation at all on the 4th. Quite a long time to have to wait.

[BLI snowman]

Should be a thundery weekend ahead at least for the Cascades.

Unstable skies on the metro

[T-Town]

91 here. 86 with a westerly breeze at Shelton. It’s coming.

Looks like I was hotter than PDX yesterday (101 according to some stations nearby) but cooler today. Same with snow, sometimes I can have way more or way less. In 2016/2017 I had 7 inches of snow more than PDX and in 2018/2019 I had half the snow the NWS office had. Downtown Portland had 1.1 inches while PQR office had 7 inches of snow in 2018/2019 which is a sizable difference. I wonder how my location did in historical snow storms/weather events, since the microclimates around the area can really make a difference.

[Cloud]

Wind is also really picking up. BFI just clocked an 18mph gust. 

[T-Town]

Shelton down to 84. 

[Meatyorologist]

Marine push moving through the coastal Columbia gap.

[Cloud]

BFI touched 91.4. Gonna wait to see if this is official.

I found this station 5 miles SSW of me that had some historical snowfall data, some interesting information was there compared to the official place.
Dec 1972: 7.5 inches of snow, coldest temp was 3
Jan 1974: Min temp of 10
1978-1979: 8.5 inches of snow, coldest temp of 9
Jan 1980: Only 5 inches of snow
 

[T-Town]

Shelton now 82. 88 to 82 in 40 minutes.
