Exactly. Except he prob takes Stevens, which is a much more enjoyable route imo. Going up and down blewett is like an extra 20 bucks these days.

Nice swirly in EWA. Don’t see this wide swath very often lifting straight up into the basin. 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Fun stuff headed into Spokane. 

[TacomaWaWx]

The drought monitor map is gonna look a lot better next week. 

[Meatyorologist]

Spokane might have a legitimate run at one of the coldest June days in history tomorrow. Highs in the mid 40s, lows around 40. Rain all day.

Seattle did it in April, tying a record from the 70s.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Down to 45 with some light showers still around 52/45 today, never got above 49 during daylight hours. 0.58" of rain in the bucket, 6.71" on the month. 

[Phishy Wx]

Sub 55 would be a record low high in Spokane for 6/13.  My WU app has me at 49 tomorrow for the high. lol wow

[Anti Marine Layer]

Warmer weather is in lockdown. Be sure to wear a mask when it finally comes.

PDX likes to always overachieve on high temps.

Cold day at KSEA. High of only 57°F, kind of an underperformance. CZ clouded things up all day.

Crazy.   And it might be close to 70 in the Tri-Cities at the same time.

No one over achieves on highs more than SLE. It's almost comical.

But isn't the average high in Tri-Cities like 109?

Evaporative cooling can do crazy things, especially at this time of year when the upper levels are cold.

Average high tomorrow in Tri-Cities is 82.  

And 72 in Spokane.  

[LowerGarfield]

Now at .88 of rain just since 1pm today. Very impressive for my location.

Yep Stevens for me! And for towing a boat I try to not be an A-Hole since it drives me crazy when people either tow like it’s their first time ever and hold up traffic, or they act like their driving a Corvette at a race track when in reality it’s a 1997 F-250 diesel they are towing with weaving and passing but nearly killing people in the process.

Whatever you central sound d-bag.

Rain is just north of here haven’t managed anything measurable yet. 

[GHweatherChris]

Tomorrow appears to be another really nice day to enjoy outside, might get the smokers out and get some meat on!!

[Kayla]

Lots of flooding issues here on our rivers and streams. The Gallatin river just down the road from us is currently in minor flood stage and is forecast to get worse tomorrow.  Looks like one more real wet day tomorrow before catching a much needed break in the rain.

Outside chance that I see some snow in the air tomorrow evening. Precip will be getting close to ending but the upper levels support it.

Also took us 3.5 hours to get home. Too many cucks with trailers going over the pass every weekend. Also all the work they did on 90 over the pass may have improved road quality and durability throughout the winters but I think it’s absolutely made traffic worse. 

Sounds like my every Sunday. From Gold Bar to Red Apple Market in Sultan, it goes from a 10 or so minute drive, to almost an hour. Pass traffic is the worst. Even worse when they don't know how roundabouts work.

That’s why I never come home from E.Wa on a Sunday, it gets horrific on 2. Couldn’t imagine living in that stretch and having to go anywhere especially on a Sunday!

A very nice day today.  Topped out at 60F and it was mostly overcast with some sun breaks.  But at around 7pm it started sprinkling and now it's raining.  I went from seeing the mountains, to the sky becoming gray, murky, and soggy.  Now the temperature is 52F! 5 of the next 7 days show rain.

[MossMan]

This is the first time I can ever remember being over in the Orondo area and having a general non T-Storm rainfall in June…And I have been coming over almost every June since 1990. Wet Deck!!

Looks like the convergence zone is sagging south. Could we get a rare mid June of all times c-zone?

Eh it's only bad on Sundays. Friday just take Ben Howard and enjoy the scenery as you skip all the pass traffic

They were awful here last week when it was warm. I was working in the yard getting eaten alive.

Rain has redeveloped.

Speak for yourself.  When you get as old as I am you may feel differently.  I have simply gotten tired of it.  I have an aunt who lived in Aberdeen and she had the same thing happen.  One year she decided she was done with it and moved to New Mexico.
