Marine layer looks pretty thick here this morning... not broken clouds like I predicted.    ECMWF insists it will be a little slower to clear today and only shows a high of 71 at SEA.

Yeah, I don’t know why those 500mb height anomaly maps are constantly posted. I prefer the spaghetti charts since they show more than just a cherry picked snapshot at a given frame.

 

The operational GFS was obviously a huge outlier compared to the GEFS in he long range. There’s no argument there. Not saying that’s what will happen, just talking about tonight’s run of course.

Both have value.

The maps don't cherry pick a single location and shows the big picture with the overall pattern.  But the chart shows all the members and the entire run in one snapshot for that single location.   The 500mb loop is nice because it shows the entire run... but still does not show how each member compares to the operational run which is nice.

Well... could be close to half if it does not clear up until late today.    Tomorrow will definitely be sunny though.

I really hope so. Looks pretty toasty for a week straight by PNW standards after tomorrow. Just hoping the models start showing the cooldown sooner I’d like it to be over by this time next week. 

In the winter time we want the cold spells to last forever and Tim is always posting about when it will be 40 and raining again.

Maybe we could get him to work on when it will be 68 with drizzle as we go into this scorching hot stretch?

Might work?

The humidity that is shown is going to be the real dagger for me.  No thanks.  Don't like it.

the forum would like you to start working your magic on the next 68 and drizzle day

kind of like you do in the winter when everyone is cheering for the cold and snow to last forever

you are awesome at posting up the first signs of 40 and rain while everyone grasps onto the last shred of an over running event

chop chop, get on it!  LOL!

I am sure there will be some marine layer days after next weekend.     Best guess would be next Monday - Wednesday.

The humidity is going to increase stress on people but luckily decrease stress on vegetation so there is an upside.

the humidity is going to be a real whopper

unfortunately this heat will probably be rough on the elderly and cooling stations that usually open probably won't because of covid concerns

Yeah... it sucks when it does not cool off effectively at night.   I could do without any of this and just have yesterday on a repeat loop.

This heatwave could set a record for 95+ days in a row at Portland. We could see two record setting heat waves in two years.

These are crazy La Nina summers. Would be weird if our next El Nino gives the northwest an average summer.

This is a stretch of 3 warm summers after a 'marginally' above average one in 2019 after 2 more hawt ones in 2018/2017..
Its like you can't buy a cool one. La Nina just needs to act normal is the problem.

How about 75 and sunny every day?

[TT-SEA]

Marine layer clouds are moving from NE to SW this morning... the opposite of yesterday and a sign of building high pressure.

Not sure about that... it looks like it will generally clear from north to south today.   Bellingham is sort of in the donut hole right now with broken clouds.

Yeah I thought about it after I posted. Donut hole weather here is more NW to SE flow I think.

Let's just look at things this way... We didn't have days back to back like today and yesterday at any point last July.

We did up here.   3 times in fact.   

July 7th and 8th... highs of 71 and 73 at SEA.

July 15th and 16th.. highs of 69 and 71 at SEA.

July 20th and 21st... highs of 72 and 72 at SEA.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

OMG now there is mist falling. WTF, plans in tatters! No seriously, nice to see. And next week isn't looking so scary, we've been here before, we can deal.

Low of 49°F is prob one of the coldest in the nation this AM.

Does this mean failed heatwave forecasts?

Brookings effect again this morning.

Got down to 56 this morning…last enjoyable day for awhile although tomorrow might not be too bad just slightly on the warm side.

I don’t think the covid concerns will actually be that bad…the state lifted all the indoor limitations during the heatwave last year but I don’t think there’s much of that going on this year.

COVID numbers are actually much higher this year. However, most people have moved on. My Dad has been jabbed 4 times, but has COVID, unfortunately the vaccine turned out to be ineffective at preventing the virus.
