[SilverFallsAndrew]

Record low of 26 this morning, breaks their old record of 31 from 2013. K-Falls hit 30 breaking their record low of 32 from various years.

are you kidding this is the best part of the weather forum offseason just people trying to get Tim mad about the rain and him obliging with 40 replies every hour about it.

Glad I can provide entertainment at least!  

Just a 3-day dry, sunny period.     That is all.

The Timtertainment has been the best part of this pattern. Yeah I am not a huge fan of it either but I don’t make 20 posts every day regurgitating rainy day statistics.

First day here?

[MWG]

Was thinking of how mild this June has been but I went and looked last year and it was the same way and even with a bit more rain. Last year second half of June was brutal though probably that's why I was thinking this year feels a lot cooler.

ECMWF is the only model that knows what is going on... based on that I am now hoping for an actual pattern change around 6/24.    I won't post any more about rain statistics in the meantime.   Already established we are in record territory in terms of persistence.   And the next week is a given now.

Some year I would like to see Cedar Lake record 10" or more of rainfall in July or August. The general hilarity factor would be off the scale.

Maybe this year!

 

[TT-SEA]

No more rain stats.    

But still have to talk about the models... and the 12Z ECMWF shows something at the end of the run that I have not seen for a long time.

Skinny dipping in Cedar Lake is now on my bucket list.

I promise!   Justin vindicated me this morning by confirming its a record... and its about to be padded.

What’s a record?

Vinyl.

[TT-SEA]

@Phil  any chance that 1984 is analog coming up?

[TacomaWaWx]

Well the euro could get us over 3.5” this month if it verifies. Doesn’t look warm either. 

[TacomaWaWx]

58 and cloudy here…juneuary continues. Radar shows some rain moving in from the south.

For number of rainy days (.01" or more) from April 1 to May 31, it looks like Cedar Lake is at 56. That is a record for them, but 1984 is close with 53. June 1984 was also a wet month, so that spring would probably be the best comparison to this in terms of persistence out there, along with 2010.

Juneau-ary works as well.

12Z EPS at day 10...

 

[BLI snowman]

1984 had a nice early start to fall in September. Little brief warm up in early October then it was off to the the races.

[Phishy Wx]

we're up to a sizzling 63 and I'm getting worried I may have to put on shorts soon

Juneau has had more 70+ highs than Seattle so far this season.

[NWbyNW]

57F and overcast. Shorts weather! 

Forecast is looking pretty dry and sunny. I just want it to rain like crazy on Saturday so I can get out of having to go do something... 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

On my lunchtime walk. Feels warm. Maybe in the 70s?

66 at SLE. Lotsa sun

Strong sun (easy to get in June) plus lack of wind can make it feel a lot warmer than it actually is.

[FroYoBro]

All of the rain missed me to the west and north today. Getting a little warmer out there, but still mostly cloudy. Nice? Day?

July-September 1984 was pretty spectacular here overall.    Followed up by one of the driest years in history here.

Hmmmm and 1985 was a very cold year overall. Let’s do it!

Only 40 inches below normal for rainfall here in 1985.    And a pretty nice summer in there.  

[Deweydog]

Sky is getting bright AF.

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Light echoes moving in. Probably just virga, but would not be surprised to be using my rain poncho on the way home this evening.

I hope it snows next winter!!!

[Meatyorologist]

I feel like sunny afternoons would be a better stat to track than days with measurable precipitation. Would be 'more difficult' to do and it would have no recorded historical avg to compare it to but there's no better time to start than now.

[TacomaWaWx]

Starting to rain lightly here…we will see if it ends up being measurable or not.

KSEA maxed at 59°F around 1pm. Given increasing cloudcover and impending rain I'll wage that that'll be the high today. Around 4-7°F below what I expected.

Looks like we also probably maxed out at 59 here. 58 and wet ground here.
