Portland is actually wetter than Seattle on the 10-day precip map on the 00Z ECMWF.

And looking a little sooner, pretty impressive totals forecast for those in the north central part of WA. Maybe an inch or so in some places there.

It’s definitely important getting a lot of these fire prone areas a good soaking of rain. After this system moves through should keep any smoke storms at bay for atleast another few weeks…could still get some smoke from California but most of it in recent years has been BC.

Beautiful. The rocks in one of the shots look like a lava flow. I haven’t seen that west of the Cascades. 

Although just barely west of the Cascade crest there are quite a few lava flows/fields around Santiam Junction.

Your Sunriver pics have me thinking about a trip to central Oregon. It’s time.

I’m also thinking about going back towards the end of summer as well. 

We last went in mid-October and it was awesome. 30 at night and 70 and sunny during the day. Stayed in a house near downtown Bend. Good times.

I went there in mid September last year. Went down to the ochoco mountains and the painted hills…then cut back west through bend up near mount bachelor. Stayed in that area for a couple days then went down south to crater lake. Probably going to try to go for 10 days this time instead of 7.

If you spend enough time east of the cascades you'll experience a day that hits 28 in the morning and 80 in the afternoon. 

I dunno if that happens in Bend a lot but K-Falls had one like that a handful of times.

We camped near K Falls in September many years ago. Maybe Collier SP. Frosty in the morning and 80 degree days. This is probably 35 years ago and still a great memory.

September is probably the most consistent month in that area. On average, not a very smoky month either. 2020 and 2018 were just bad years for early Fall. 

Days on end of 80-85 and lows of 40-45, wall to wall sun. The larger spreads I've noticed tend to only happen in October.

I think the 00Z EPS is a little closer to the GFS at that same time.   It shows weak troughs in the same general area and a weak ridge in between.    

ecmwf-ensemble-avg-namer-z500_anom-7519200.png

There are several solution clusters, but most don’t look like the 00z GFS.

Should trend farther away from that with time.

Collier is a great park. A lot of it burned during the Labor Day Fires unfortunately. But not all of it, and they are already replanting.

Looks like most of the models show a decent swath of precip through central Oregon over the next couple days so maybe we won’t have as bad of a fire season this year.

Yeah I saw that it’s closed for camping but the website says hopefully reopening this year. I think Collier was the place we stayed where they raked the campsites between visitors. Not sure if that was official policy or just some over enthusiastic campground hosts but not something I’ve seen elsewhere.

Things could get pretty crazy here tomorrow. SPC has us under a marginal risk this afternoon for severe storms but all eyes are on tomorrow with now an enhanced risk for damaging hail and wind gusts exceeding 75mph. ~2500 J/kg MLCAPE and K-index of 50 is definitely going to get the job done. 

As much as I love big storms, it's days like tomorrow that make me really nervous as a home owner.😬

12Z ECMWF shows clouds breaking up during the afternoon on Monday with a high the low 70s... and the evening looks clear now.    Probably no rain that day.

12Z ECMWF also looks less showery through the upcoming week... particularly compared to the 12Z run yesterday.   Every day is warmer than the 00Z run which warmer than the 12Z run.

I had a 95/36 day last summer in Sunriver. Also had a freeze in July once but the high was only in the low 70s, a couple summers back. 

There is a slight but notable climate zone divide at Lava Butte Pass - to the north is quite a bit drier overall with dropping elevation going down to the Columbia River, while to the south is the high plateau which generally remains 4-5k elevation going south, generally wetter climate (enough to classify as just "continental" rather than semi-arid), and virtually identical climate extending southward a good distance into NE CA. And of course, insanely high diurnal ranges in summer.

From the Twin Lakes yesterday. Right off Cascade Lakes Highway (one of my favorite drives in Oregon). I wanted to drive the whole highway to the end see Crescent Lake but it doesn’t seem like they have kayak rentals there.

Fwiw I’m suspicious of how it drops that low straight south out of Alaska later in the run.

Little if any precedent for that in analogous circumstances. Looks like something is amiss there.

The official fire danger was still low when I was in Cle Elum last weekend.  Can't remember ever seeing it low this late in the season.  People are sure nervous after the last few years.  This year is a way different situation.

Not sure... control run looks similar though.

Yeah, all I’m saying is it just delays the fire season even further. Not saying we’re in a critical situation yet definitely in a much better spot than previous years.

There are valleys in the Wenatchee Mountains that get hard frosts in August with day time temps still making it into the low 80s or so.  A guy that owned a store in Liberty in the 1980s told me he recorded a low of 24 in August one of the years I was over there.
