I was just looking at some of the Special weather statements and AFDs from December 2008, and it seems like the big storm was kind of messy. Reports of 16" of snow near the West Hills/Beaverton/Tualatin with 0.5" of ice, just with that one storm. And another 3.5-4" with the Arctic front on the 14th in the west metro and a bit with the event around Christmas.

SNOWFALL REPORTS THIS MONTH HAVE VARIED WIDELY ACROSS LOWER ELEVATIONS THE PORTLAND METRO AREA... RANGING FROM AS LOW AS 12-15 INCHES DOWNTOWN TO AS MUCH AS 25 INCHES IN OUTLYING AREAS... PARTICULARLY ON THE SOUTH AND WEST SIDE OF TOWN.

 

The SW metro did good at least! Camas apparently also had 22" with the big storm.

My balcony room at the Cosmo in Vegas is going off right now. so much lightning! 

 

Awesome photos!  I've never seen cooler lightning then when I've been in Vegas!  Up high in those hotel rooms and looking out, seeing the lightning, it's so cool!

Remember that rainy season?    It doesn't have to rain a drop until October and SEA would still end up way above normal for rainfall for the water year.    SEA also went 2 months this spring with almost every day being colder than normal.

I would be ecstatic if it poured one day a week until rainy season.

I was too warm today for PDX and too cold yesterday. Let's see how warm Thursday/Friday/Saturday get now

KPTV and KGW both going with 101 tomorrow. I'm surprised KPTV is going 101 again but Mark is on vacation so it's Jeff's forecast though. He went 101 today but it was 5 degrees too warm.

Yeah I'd guess 101 is a bit warm for tomorrow but Sat/Sun look a bit low on KGWs, based on current models

Well... I have to admit I downplayed this heatwave more than I should have.  Fron an intensity standpoint it's nothing extraordinary, but the duration is up there with the greats.  I guess I was taking some solace in the fact we had nice cool weather just before it and we will have a big crash coming out of it.  That doesn't take anything away from one hell of uncomfortable week we are enduring.

Down to 73 in Shelton 79 here. The cooler air should probably work in around midnight roughly the same time as last night. 

Some places have really escaped this.  Shelton is getting nice relief in the evenings and places downwind of the Strait are getting off super easy.  Kind of a rare onshore flow heatwave.

Idk about that buddy, I've been pretty comfortable this week. If you need a cool-down you're invited! Also if you need a recommendation for AC/heat pump install let me know!

Should be able to at least tie the record number of 95+ days in a row as Friday and Saturday seem like ~100 (or perhaps slightly more). Curious as to why those have uptrended over the last couple days

There are few things worse than being in the middle of a lengthy spell of hot weather like this and still having no clear idea of when it will end.

Burning alive inside a Prius MIGHT be one. A friend of ours witnessed that today over on MacArthur. Sounds like it was drunk driver related as opposed to heatwave related though.

In the midst of an uncomfortable and dangerous and lengthy hot spell, I can assure you "I hope it doesn't drizzle soon" isn't a normal thought.

35th Street, the street I live on, is lined with Ash Trees. They are so beautiful in the Summer when they grow densely green, and during the fall when they develop irregular stochastic color patterns.

Next week is looking excellent.  Good model trends on that tonight.  Even the EPS has sustained 6000+ height developing offshore now.  Unheard of.  The only instances of 6000 heights I can remember are very fleeting.

BTW...I think Monday is going to go more toward the GFS than the ECMWF.

That back and forth with Jared wasn't serious.  I would probably pay money to throw in a drizzly cool day right now.  I don't like uncomfortable heat either.   

If I had my way... it would be 78 and sunny most every day in the summer.

FWIW... the 00Z EPS and control run also delayed longer like the the ECMWF.   

Both also show it turning warm again in the long range.

Good agreement between the 00z GEFS, GEPS and EPS on the longer range pattern at days 11-15. A Bering Sea ridge and also a Plains/Midwest ridge. This should give us more seasonal weather through the first half of August.

That's good to hear, maybe we can finally manage a below average one if we are lucky!
