I’ll take “things that won’t happen” for $5000.

That ULL backtracks over 1000 miles.  

Good.   I would prefer that didn't happen.   But it might be a sign of westward expanding 4CH like the EPS is hinting at.  

Or maybe it will be cold and raining in late July.   I can't guess what nature will do any more.

Pretty good luck to have avoided it for this long 

Working from home is probably why.

Ugghhh... seems like everyone has COVID again now.

I finally got it for the first time. Woke up with a fever on Saturday and a big headache. Those have gone already. Otherwise I feel fine

It's definitely time to admit that covid has made the transition to endemic cold.

The 4CH generally doesn’t migrate westward under emerging IO/E-Hem forcing/-dAAMt. More likely it stays put over the Plains.

If the MJO gets back into the WPAC it’s possible, but that won’t happen until August at the earliest, if it happens at all. And you’ll in MN by then anyway.

People only respond to posts if they're in this thread. I don't think anyone reads the other ones very much.

I’m going to be in Chicago for Labor Day Weekend. Wonder what the weather will be like there.

My hunch is it’ll go that route for awhile, then some nasty variant will emerge mid/late 2020s and put the world through hell again.

I know it’s not how pandemics usually work, but we’ve never had a coronavirus pandemic before, and the way this is mutating is nothing like influenza.

Camping in Ucluelet, BC the next few nights. We’d never been anywhere outside of Victoria on V.I. before and it’s a beautiful spot. Highs in the 60s and sun (perfect Jim summer weather) which can’t be counted on up here any time of year.

Can't wait. We have 4 1/2 more years of Tribulation to go. Only gets worse from here!

Perhaps people aren't responding in that thread because they do not want to see climate change debate. That is their decision. You are not entitled to a response.

You lucked out.  Pretty often in the fog bank out there this time of year.  Hope you enjoy your visit to the island.  Victoria is nice but the rest of the island is better.

No one responded to my post about Gary Payton jersey preferences in the preference wars thread.  I would like my membership fee refunded please.

Yeah, I agree that the general area there isn't typically one of the better radiational cooling spots.

1972 generally fared better for lows around the Portland area than 1983. Vancouver dropped to 0 after the first snowstorm on the 5th and then got down to -1 following the 2nd snowstorm on the 11th. And PDX even got into the single digits, which has only happened in one airmass since then (1989). 

Hillsboro also got to -2 with that. Looks like the station 1 NW of Beaverton had 4.5" with the first snowstorm and 3" with the second. 1983 had a colder high temp though, 20 on the 24th. It also recorded 0.11" of precip that day but snowfall data is missing. The temp at 8 am was 18 degrees so the 0 is likely wrong.

83/59 today in Tacoma. 

[TacomaWx]

Looks like some high clouds are lifting in from the south. Could be a pretty sunset tonight if the timing works out. 

[GHweatherChris]

Peaked at 91° here and 83° at KHQM.

[Anti Marine Layer]

 

The blessed southerly stratus surge should be reaching the Oregon coast tonight and Washington coast sometime tomorrow.

67 after a low of 59 here. Gonna be a nice couple days 0 clouds in sight anywhere. Was gonna just stay at home on my days off today and tomorrow but felt really guilty about it when I got up this morning and saw how nice it was outside so going camping tonight. 

I’m getting antsy to go enjoy some monsoon weather in the SW as well as visit Grand Falls while these storms are happening!  We shall see!?!?! 
Meanwhile it’s BBQ time and cocktails on the deck 

83*

Thank you! Heading to near Campbell River next then the Saanich Peninsula near Victoria. Do you think the drive up to Port Hardy is worth it? It would be cool to see the north end of the island, but it’s a long way from Campbell River and there doesn’t seem to be much up there.

I still haven’t had it. We are going to Leavenworth for a couple days this week and then I’m flying to California to visit a friend this weekend. I figure that should do it. 

I still have the tickle coughing attacks from my intimate moment with Covid  (40 days ago) 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Headed to Seaside til Friday. Anybody on the Oregon Coast feel free to come hang out.

Sometimes I am awe of the weather models.   There is a small patch of high clouds drifting by Portland and SW WA right now and I distinctly remember seeing that patch race by this evening on the ECMWF runs from like 3 or 4 days ago.   It stood out on the loop because there were no other clouds today.    The fact that we have weather models that can pinpoint the location of a little wisp of high clouds that far out is pretty amazing when you think about it.

Yeah I can see them to the SE of here. Hoping for a colorful sunset this evening looks like it should be.

That blows me away as well and I’ve thought about it a bunch!

110 in Austin yesterday. 115 in Phoenix today. The Sunbelt sure sucks in the summer.

Looking toasty for Tim’s MN trip.

When my husband was flown up here for an interview, they apologized for how hot it was. It was mid 80s in PDX. He told them it wasn't hot as he just left his job in Phoenix where it was 120.

Yeah... fully expect it.   Good news is that we are in a resort this time and will have all the amenities like good AC.

Ironically I’ll be in Tampa FL on that date, which is the only place not smothered in a red-orange hue.

Pretty pathetic that we can only get a one day heatwave this year.  Sucks!

84 in The Swamp now

expected more today

gotta dial back expectations

Sweet spot is mid 70s to low 80s and sunny.     Lots of that weather coming up.
