For now I'm going to pretend the GFS is onto something.

12Z GFS shows 99 degrees in Seattle next week.   Won't happen but if that is your dream run then its a good sign for some warm weather at least.

Can I get some puke emojis for the 12z ECMWF?

I was looking at the stuff later on.  Besides 99 means about 92.

Traps a wavenumber 6-8 pattern like last June. 😬 But the way it gets there is so different I continue to believe it’s wrong. Along with the majority of guidance.

Not a single analog w/ CCKW departing the EPAC & E-Hem low pass that evolves into a heatwave pattern there. At least going back to the 1970s.

There are a few cases with a strong ridge just offshore but no bonafide heatwaves. And every analogous case except one flipped cool immediately thereafter. 

Could easily be a case of brief heat followed by retrogression.

57F and cloudy/misty at 1 p.m. in mid July. Not something you see all the time although we'll probably pop up into the mid 60s by the end of the day.

I think Jesse has lost it.  Not sure how he thinks this summer has been terrible so far.  Granted I didn't like some of June, but heat wise it's been quite good so far.

My guess is that a more active storm track (-ENSO) combined with a roided 4CH (natural variability/agw/whatever) allows for maintained vorticity and moisture advection over the inland PNW. Eastern WA through NW WY is in that sweet spot.

probably, cause we seem to be right on the periphery of that where I sit just west of the ID border.

It actually feels a little chilly with shorts and a t-shirt still at 11am. I understand people complaining about warm summers, but this will be the third cloudy/cool day in a row down here. Pretty good. 
 

Most comfortable summer we have had in a while down here. 

I’ve enjoyed it so far. Past the halfway point and obviously it’s different up here but only 3 hot days so far this year. Of course the euro at face value is probably 3-4 +90 days here later this month which sucks but just gotta enjoy the comfy weather like today while it’s here.

Going to be a hefty La Niña this winter.

Westward moving +OLR/-VP200 low pass with descending +QBO and inclining solar cycle is the best possible setup to strengthen La Niña.

The CFS doesn’t even simulate a QBO. It’s such a dinosaur.

Larry Cosgrove continues to be against it for some reason.I guess my question is.Is he just being different just to be different or is he really seeing something that many do not.Strange that a great old school promet like Larry would be this far off the mark seeing wise 🤔

No way he is going to be right IMO.  There is absolutely no historical precedent for a Nino to come out of thin air this late.

Give today to the ECMWF.  The 12z GFS was spitting out an absurd 80.  There is no way it would have gotten that warm regardless.

It's almost as if, brace yourself, our summer climate has fundamentally changed in recent years. Torching is inevetable. Analogs don't work anymore.

I remembered back in the day Jim when Dave Tolleris and Larry Cosgrove got into it all the time those two could never agree on much of anything.I tend to agree with you but I still find it interesting that Cosgrove sees it so differently wish And I'm sure many knew what exackly it is that he seeing.

Trust me, I hope to god I am wrong, and that Phil's Kold August of the Century© verifies brilliantly.

But intuition and recent summer climo have proved different. In recent years -ENSO would mean a genuinely chilly summer. Now it doesn't matter... It feels like there are feedback loops present now that weren't there before which precede -ENSO climo and promote incessant ridging, no matter what.

If the day starts out socked in during the morning... the GFS will usually be wrong during the summer.    It overestimates mixing.    If the day starts out sunny... the GFS will usually be closer than the ECMWF which seems to assume the water of the Puget Sound is much colder than reality.

Anyways, it's running much cooler than I expected today. Clouds are much more stubborn. Sometimes ridging aloft can prevent sufficient mixing for marine layer erosion.

You’d have to show that the pattern would somehow respond differently now to the same stimuli than it did even a few years ago.

I don’t see any reason that would be the case.
