On the 7th month of... July PNW 2022 (Preferance Wars)

[Cloud]

The surface temps the GFS shows for tomorrow is wrong though if cloudiness is in play tomorrow morning. Particularly for Tacoma.

ECMWF shows 92 at SEA tomorrow and it shows the marine layer clouds.  It was 5 degrees too cold for today.

The Dalles got to 110

[TacomaWx]

91 here…2nd +90 of the year.

94 here. 

We’ve got a slight NE breeze might’ve been the difference here versus over there. Wasn’t expecting you to be 3 degrees warmer though. 

[Cloud]

Bellingham, Seatac, and Olympia all have new daily record highs today.

GFS and ensembles getting consistent showing another extreme heat event in Italy and the Balkans in early August.

This heat wave was preceded by extreme heat there, and August 1981 was preceded by extreme heat there. Great sign!

I have a sensor hanging from the eves of the house so could be that there’s a couple degrees margin for error there vs a real weather station.

Enjoyed the day up at Sparks Lake today with my dog. Water temp was around 60-65 depending on depth, sat it the water with a few drinks. It was nice to get out of the heat down in town.

Looks like PDX will top out at 102 today. #no90sjuly

We were just up there last weekend! 

[Cascadia_Wx]

The 111 in The Dalles today is pretty absurd. That’s hotter than they ever got in August 1981. And only seven degrees cooler than their ridiculously crooked all time record high last June.

Quoting yourself is a bad look... like the edit disclaimer that appears on the bottom every post I make because I always go back and fix something.

He’s right though.

Glad I have a 6:30-2:30 work schedule this week since I work outdoors. Really understandable why siestas are a thing in parts of the world where this weather happens every single day.

Technically not in the 90s.  

[Cascadia_Wx]

Looks like Mark updated the 7-day to show the next three days in the 101-102 range

Let me know next time you swing through town. Usually busy on weekends but we could try and go on a local hike.

I will never understand it. We are witnessing an ecological disaster in real time. Like watching a slow motion train wreck.

I’m gonna be down there in that area in mid September super excited to go back. 

[MossMan]

Lovely day! Currently 88.

I will say, the amount of dead conifers once you go south of Roseburg is pretty astonishing. They aren’t all dead, but below 1500’ I would say 25-33% of them are. 

Wait till you see the Sierra around kings canyon. It blew my mind when I first saw it. 70% mortality on ridge line after ridge line for as far as you could see.

That should be good timing. Still summer like weather with more relief and less tourists. I’m out of town from the 11th-15th but if you’re here around that we should meet up.

I’m planning on being up at Paulina peak 7th-10th and then lava lake the 11th-13th.

Staying at Paulina lake campground? I haven’t been out there in awhile, used to go out every spring.

Tomorrow and Thursday are a big stretch, but we could see a bump on Friday.

Yup! Haven’t been there before. I went through central Oregon last September but didn’t check out that area so I’m very excited for it. Gonna go up to ochoco lake and the painted hills area for one day…roll through bend on the way to Paulina peak. Then go to the lava lake/bachelor area for a couple days then finish the trip with a couple nights down near crater lake. Should be an amazing 9 days. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

60 in Florence.

I thought it seemed high too. Possible he’s not doing the forecast today. I never keep track anymore.

[TT-SEA]

I wonder if summer will extend its stay for months like winter did this year.   I think Andrew had snow falling in May.

What a beautiful day.  A blessing from the heavens.

95 here in The Swamp! 

Wow.  Just wow.

Summer time...........

 

[Anti Marine Layer]

Looks like Portland was hotter than Phoenix.

Does anyone have "99 in the shade?"

I quit enjoying the SoCal mountains as I got older due to the lack of trees. This going up Hwy 18 to Big Bear

So jealous of Texas and Oklahoma. They are getting a real summer this year.

Sounds like a great trip. Love all those areas. Water level may be a bit low but worth checking out the hot springs at Paulina. I usually go in early June and laying in the pool of hot water is amazing, this picture is from 2016 I think.

Thanks for the tip I appreciate it!

[TacomaWx]

Still 90 degrees at 7:20. Doesn’t feel too bad in the shade with some beers and near the water though. Noticed there’s some haze possibly from up in BC. Should be a good enhancing the sunset tonight hopefully.

[Skagit Weather]

Peaked at 88F here, 8 degrees colder than last year and pretty in line with (or maybe a degree or two above) my average max temp for summer for the last 15 years or so. High temp was only an hour ago at 6:20 p.m. I'm always kind of amazed how late the temperature peaks this time of year.

[Deweydog]

Down to 82 in Kelso!

[The Blob]

Only 96 here

My brother and I checked out the big obsidian flow and then hiked along the lakeshore there a few years ago. Beautiful place. The central Oregon area has so much to offer.

You’re planning on going down in September too right?

Yeah. In Bend the 11th - 15th. Maybe we’ll get a beer somewhere if you’re close by.
