Better or wetter or both?

Much less wet. Yesterday’s run showed like 1.5” for Seattle and this one shows 0.1”.

[Timmy Supercell]

Ah, missed this by less than a day, took these 6/30/2021

Tim willed the rain away...again!

He might not be happy with the outcome of the next few days though afterwards. Instead of one big rain event and nice weather afterwards it’s a week of on and off rain showers which I’m willing to bet he probably likes even less.

Yeah... that has been working so well the last 3 months.

I mean, maybe a few showers but I'm willing to bet that it still doesn't amount to much. Maybe ~0.1-0.25" of rainfall over the next week unless you find yourself under a brief convective downpour.

A whole lot of complaining over a tenth of inch of rain that you have no control over but to each their own!

[Deweydog]

Devastating trends.

Hi, you must be new here.

[Phil]

OT but check out this cell exploding from nothing to 40,000ft+ in under 30mins.

Looks like that tonga eruption with the radiating outflow.

Looks like a local weather account did.

Guarantee Tim would rather get 1/2” of rain in a day than 5 days with 0.05”. Key word is PERSISTENT rainfall.

Undergrowth around here is a lot greener than it was during last summer’s drought. Feels a bit more like the mountains in southern Oregon with the generally greener look.

Yeah... the ECMWF is not really that bad for next week.    It shows plenty of sun even with a few more showers.    Accounting for its cool bias it probably means highs at least in the mid 70s.

And its sort of a moot point anyways because the 12Z EPS is not more troughy than its 00Z run... and in fact looks slightly warmer later next week.    The EPS is squarely in the goldilocks zone.   

[RentonHill]

In before @Phil omg purple trade burst

 

[TT-SEA]

Goldilocks weather here today.    Just a few clouds around the edges but totally sunny here since dawn.

That is absolute PNW summer perfection

Perfection... except for Sunday and Monday.   

Cool bias means add at least 3 degrees.    Doesn't get any more perfect than that.  

[RentonHill]

Last 3 EPS runs max temps...still split between torch and goldy at the end

 

[TT-SEA]

Here is the 12Z EPS for SEA... last day cropped off to avoid confusion.

Those blue days just keep marching in!    Lets get those in the past.   

[TT-SEA]

My sons left with the boat at 11 a.m. and said its absolutely perfect out there... no wind and not many other boats yet and the lake is flat so its perfect for wakeboarding.    Currently 76 in Issaquah and North Bend.   

Hopefully the EPS is right and we have many more days just like today ahead.  

[TT-SEA]

Work done... weekend begins.    I know how much @RentonHillTC loves the Ballard Hazy IPA.

 

[bainbridgekid]

Noticed these 4 cells looking East from my friend’s rooftop in Seattle yesterday evening and sure enough they all showed up perfectly on the radar at the same time. Cool to be able to see them all the way from Cle Elum and Leavenworth!

I've seen them a few times before but never that striking. Is there a Tonga connection?

[Phishy Wx]

what's the easiest way to immigrate to Canada?  the company I work for is Canadian based (offices in Toronto and Calgary)

after what's happen with the rogue Koch funded SCOTUS over the past week, this country's best days are behind it.  I'll be 'celebrating' this weekend with an upside down Flag.

Cheers!

You misspelled "preference" once again

I've actually been really enjoying Rainier the last several months. I'll probably never do Bud Light or Coors Light ever again. I'm just not an IPA guy. I will drink the occasional Bodi or Lucille, but i'll always end up back at the Rogers or JUtah if I want something more than Rainier. 

If I need immediate relief, my trusty boxed wine is never far. 

[TT-SEA]

Up to 77 in North Bend now.   

[KeyPeninsula_Wx]

71 and sunny. Hopeful for a little rain when we can get it but hard to be disappointed in plenty of days in the 70s and sunshine too.

My son bought a case of Rainier the other day when they had some friends over.    My kids are true WA natives.
