Good thing no one in real life likes rain and cool weather anyway

I like rain and warm weather, like Hawaii or the monsoon

Nowhere for water to go when you're below sea level.  Things are seriously F'd up this summer to say the least.

It’s the peak of monsoon season.

[snow_wizard]

Wow!  Yesterday Shelton had fog and low clouds in the morning and then hit 99.  Yuck!

It's unusually robust this year.  Vegas for instance usually doesn't get the action they have seen this year.  Pretty hard to make the case the big picture isn't as I said.

I don’t think it’s been all the unusually robust so far. Maybe on the wetter side of normal for some spots but others are running deficits it seems. As normal, it’s hit or miss.

Hopefully it bumps up lake mead a bit.

I think Lake Mead is mainly fed and supported by snowmelt. Maybe these monsoons can help slow the lake's seasonal decline?

I think the only positive impact is indirect. Short term reduction in consumption for irrigation, etc.

Down to 78F DP 62F so we should be able to get the windows open and properly cool the house down. What a fuckkin' 8 days...

[TT-SEA]

GFS shows PDX flirting with 100 next weekend again.    Ugghhhh.

[snow_wizard]

The 0z GFS has MUCH cooler 850s on Thursday than last night's 0z did.  Nice to see!

At least it was only 6 days of hell here.  As somebody else said....what a long week.

Nice to see how much the dp has dropped today.  Should cool off a bit faster this evening.

Temps definitely dropping faster here tonight.

Oh boy!  This runs shows clear skies and lows dropping into the 40s on Thursday night.  Sounds like pure bliss!

[Anti Marine Layer]

It'll be August in a few hours. What will the August thread be called?

[snow_wizard]

I'll be absolutely shocked if that cutoff low stays out there as long as the GFS is showing.  That is going to give the models some fits I'm thinking.

Good question.  I've really grown to dislike that month is recent years.

Making up for the non-existent monsoon season of 2020.

[snow_wizard]

Kind of mind blowing October is only 2 months out now.  Time goes so fast.

From what I understand last year had a pretty good monsoon also.

91/61 today, currently 74.  Have I mentioned I am looking forward to things cooling off for a bit?

[MossMan]

Carbon copy of yesterday though it’s a little cooler tonight than last night.

92/59 on the day.

Currently 62. 
What an amazing stretch of weather this has been!!

Looks like the 6000 heights over the GOA have actually verified.  If not for that cutoff low we would probably be going into a really abnormal cool period this week.

[snow_wizard]

To further explain my last post...Such an intense GOA block would normally have a very deep and cold downstream trough over the NW.  We've all seen cutoff lows off the coast mess up cold patterns in the winter.  Same thing.

The KPTV forecast fire smoke forecast keeps the smoke east of the Cascades. I hope it's correct.

No doubt it will.  Where do you think all of the power will come from when we are all ordered to drive electric cars?

Where I live, it's the dams. I'm otherwise a Dem but agree with the locals on the importance of dams esp with electrical needs and commerce for the Snake River region. The dam breeching is the one topic roundly hated from Walla Walla to Lewiston.

Anyway, saw some smoke to the east before sunset. Not sure how it is at the moment. Fall will be here before we know it.

[Meatyorologist]

Looking forward to Thursday. Should be a cool and mostly cloudy day finally.

[Cascadia_Wx]

Bye July. Was actually a relatively “normal” feeling and pleasant summer month until the last week at which point everything went to hell. Par for the course for any summer month these days.
