June 2022 - Summer Begins

[snow_wizard]

We desperately need more rain here.  My rose bush isn't flattened enough from the weight of all the water on the blooms.  We might as well go for the full on crushing and then have the flower petals beaten into the ground.  Then and only then will I be satisfied we have had enough water fall from the sky.

Dry weather will come.

Tim is that you?

Did it even rain in the Seattle area today? Wasn't it like sunny and 70 there yesterday?

[The Blob]

This afternoon was nice so we went to see the ships before they leave tomorrow.

Tim and I have almost become the same.  Very scary.

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.

I can only speak for myself.  so... ok.

It did rain here....not sure about Seattle proper.  Yesterday was very nice.

I don’t really think it’s been extremely bad especially as we’ve moved into the second half of May here. It’s definitely been leaning wet and cloudy but there has been some nice days mixed in too.

I know....I was just being melodramatic.  It actually appears my favorite summer pattern is coming up.

Some pretty wet GFS ensemble members popping up, but the operational and the GEM really dry things out, but it stays cool.

Minus EPO and minus PNA suggests relatively dry at least, but certainly cool.

Nice and dry here this weekend. 70 on Saturday and 65 today. 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

48F and pleasant out there. Some wet grass which is much-needed.

Snowing at the top of Gemini run at Stevens Pass. Sure, why not June?

[smerfylicious]

For all you summer lovers, here's it currently snowing at Alpental.

Rather brisk on the old walk this morning. 51 and breezy.

Only for those weak in spirit and acceptance, if people live in the moment more, all would be good.

Same thing could be said about people who complain about long periods of sunny and hot weather. 

[TT-SEA]

Pullman is at 2.93 inches for the month right now... which is +2.36 or 514% of normal.    And Pullman is +5.56 for the water year.

Tri-Cities is at 338% of normal for June... and +2 inches for the water year which is statistically significant because they only average about 7 inches a year.  

Spokane is also at 303% of normal for June now with much more coming today.

Sounds like a pretty dire drought situation in central and eastern WA.

Great news. Thanks for sharing.

59/51 day yesterday very cool for mid June. Morning rain then partly to mostly cloudy. Picked up another quarter inch or so putting me over 3” for the month. 
 

Mostly cloudy and a low of 49 this morning.

[Cascadia_Wx]

00z EPS dries us out a bit moving forward (typical climo after mid June) but keeps things fairly cool. Maybe a nice mix of sunshine and marine layer days.

[MossMan]

Also think this is the first time I have needed to wear jeans and a sweatshirt over here in mid June.  

[Phishy Wx]

Junuary with a vengeance....

Yellowstone river is running at historic levels this morning. Currently at 13.2ft near Gardiner which is nearly 2ft higher than the previous record set back in June 1918. The Gallatin river near me is at its highest level since 1974.

The northern Yellowstone entrance is blocked off since this bridge washed away.

Nah, the complaining from some about statistically moist periods is always worse than the other side.  Tangibly, this spring and early summer so far has been delightful, something for everyone.

That the bridge by Gardiner?!

Record rainfall at Roseburg yesterday. Also nice to see PDX and SLE's departures on the month down to about +1F. Still very possible many areas end up with a slightly below average June.

Yesterday was dry here. Not super-warm, but still a pleasant afternoon. Nice to see the more southerly trend in storm tracks persist. We have had more than enough rain up this way.

 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

It was 43 at home this morning. 0.05" of rain since midnight.

No this is (was?) the Carbella bridge about 17 miles north on Hwy 89. The Gardiner bridge sits nearly 100ft above the Yellowstone river, the whole state would probably wash away if the Yellowstone crested that high!

Will your raccoon bite me based on my weather preferences?

I was going to say... I thought that bridge was pretty high when we went through there in October, I didn't really remember much about it though.

The 12Z GFS is looking a little phallic this morning...  

[LowerGarfield]

It was cold last night. Had to turn on the heaters this am for the first time in a month or so. I had .19 inches of rain overnight, so in about 18 hours, we've had 1.07 since 1pm yesterday.
