Side note... even SEA had rain on 15 days in July 1993 and had a departure of -6.0 with an average high of only 68.    

Cool. Sounds like it was majority dry and quite pleasant.

Looks kinda wet in Oregon this morning.

Looks like a very heavy band of rain across Linn County moving into southern Marion County. EUG has picked up 0.20" so far this morning. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Roseburg up to 0.43" on the day.

I wouldn’t be surprised if tiger gets more rain than me this month…he had more in April and May than I did.

I’m hoping to get a couple good doses of rain before we dry out…has been super wet sea-tac getting to 4” would be pretty incredible. Don’t know if they will considering we’re in mid June now but we will see.

That's some thick stuff there. All the way down to Redding, CA.

Could be the last real rain for far north CA until November. Hope they’re enjoying it while it lasts.

[MR.SNOWMIZER]

Everything looking good on forum.  4.35 in of rain so far this June.

It does look like the center of the county will bake this year. I saw a stat yesterday. DFW averages 20 100+ days a summer, but have not hit that mark in 7 years. They are due. 

That goes to show how our warmer summers lately haven't totally been from global warming or whatever you want to call it.  Much if it has to do with recent patterns and the distribution of the heat.

[TT-SEA]

Now the GEM is trending deeper with the trough and close to cutting off later in the week... which would be a little warmer and drier scenario up here.

The only reason I'm somewhat on board is because it's about to end and the history of what very wet springs lead to is pretty intriguing.  I'm sick to death of gloom and rain though.

[TT-SEA]

52 and drizzling at SEA at almost 11 a.m. on this summer day.      At least its still dry out here.

GFS ensembles are pretty locked in for the 18-19th. Then it's a warm outlier by the 20th. Either way shouldn't be too wet.

Pretty impressive rain shield across NW Oregon now. Closing in on 1/4" of rain and still hanging around 47. Could have a midnight high today, it was 52 at 12am. 

[snow_wizard]

It looks like next Sunday is when things will finally really be getting better to stay.

I am pleased the cold air has finally arrived.

Pretty hard to ignore how similar this is to 1984.  I still remember it being pretty ugly in May and June that year.  We then went on to have a great summer, cold fall / winter, and a very dry / cold 1985.

[Deweydog]

Ugh.

Just when it gets cold enough to snow, we can’t seem to get the moisture. This winter blows…

[SilverFallsAndrew]

6-hour rainfall

Roseburg 0.66"

Medford 0.37"

Ontario 0.32"

EUG 0.29"

And even a "wet" July around here will feature 24 dry days and an inch of rain.

There's always Christmas in July to watch on the Hallmark Channel, should it stay cool and rainy.

71 degree goodness! The Columbia is COLD though!

Nice aquasox. I just picked up a pair last week for summer. Lol

[TigerWoodsLibido]

54F with some moderate rain. 0.35" so far today and 2.68" for the month. Hopefully this keeps helping us stave off fire concerns.

So I’m at work and a customer pulled out a gun and shot out a thief’s tires with a handgun in the parking lot while trying to steal stuff literally right next to me.

Wowzers. At least they didn’t shoot the perp, that might have been overkill.

Yup.   A nice measured response.

[snow_wizard]

Looking like the ECMWF is going for a pretty decent dry cold front at the end of the run.  Such an outcome wouldn't be far fetched with PNA and EPO both going minus.  Proof may be coming that we can have enjoyable weather with below normal temps during the summer.

In general I think some solid cold mins are pretty likely in the coming days.

Looks like a cool birthday for me, possibly the first ever. 

[T-Town]

58 degrees. Good day to burn that old pallet that’s been sitting in the garage.

That heat dome is giving me a close shave.

Might be some hints of the high retrograding westward on the 12Z EPS... maybe in time for a little warmer weather in early July?

I’ve noticed guidance trying to retrograde it but keeps pushing it back. Suspect the end result will be a trough-split that subsequently progrades.

My wife shops at that Fred Meyers but she’s never shot anyones tires. At least that I know of.

Not sure how long it could have been getting pushed back.   The models have not really showed anything like that at all until the last couple of days and the last 3 runs of the EPS have shown the same progression at the same time.

NWS just called and asked for a storm report. I advised it has been raining quite steadily in my location the last hour but only .20 but did pass on my .70 from the other day.
