Rainer tastes like weird water to me lol 

It does, but man does it hit the spot after a soccer match on a hot day!

Japans getting their June 2021 equivalent heatwave now might be someone’s turn in North America next.

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. 

I drink hazy IPA pretty much exclusively now, but can definitely enjoy some ice cold Rainier or PBR on a hot day.

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

Possibly given all that H2O injected into the upper atmosphere.

Not certain, though.

The edge is perfect place to be... heavenly.    Not too wet or cloudy and not too hot.

Why would you get rid of one of the colder days?

Because on that chart it shows the high through 5 a.m. on the last day on the 12Z runs.

Wtf?  You went through the trouble of cropping the image because you’re afraid people won’t understand the difference between 12z and 00z?

Lololol.

I always do that.   Someone always mentions it or asks... easier to just crop it before posting.

Not quite to Jim-picking-leaves-off-trees levels, but still hilarious.

Two negative interactions today made me feel a little defensive of Seattle.     Had a meeting this morning with someone in LA and another person in Chicago.   And LA person mentions that he was born in Chicago and said he was sad to see what it has become.   Then I mention that I am in the Seattle area and the LA person said he was just up here and he was shocked at "what a craphole" it has become.   I wanted to talk about the new mayor cleaning things up but didn't want to get into a political discussion .

Then an hour later I am in a meeting with people at a winery in Napa and someone says they will be in Seattle for a wedding this weekend and I said it might rain.   To which he replied "oh my God the weather up there is so horrible.  Typical Washington sh*t".     I wanted to say that summers are usually really nice up here and rain on the 4th is pretty rare.   But didn't want to get into a weather discussion. 

Made me feel a little protective of my adopted home though.

Not hilarious.   I said I was going to start doing it like a year ago after explaining for the 50th time.

See, this is why I can’t get invested. Ever.

Shows 110°F now. We cannot have nice things.

When was the last time PDX didnt hit 90 in July? 

[snow_wizard]

I would gladly take the 10 day ECMWF at face value.  Absolutely gorgeous trough digging in from Canada.

It has got to be super rare.  It seems like it takes nothing at all for them to hit 90 in July or August.

I presume you meant eastward.  At any rate probably temporary.

No... westward with the high pressure.   He also talked about the warmer water moving eastward.

There’s a negative five million percent chance we evolve into any kind of +PMM/warm horseshoe pattern. Ain’t happening.

Hard to do when basically the entire North Pacific is warm.

No... westward.   And not necessarily all the way out here.    

Oh I thought you were referring to NPAC SSTAs.

And not for any significant duration, no. That WPAC MJO keeps getting neutered upon approach, with re-emergence of IO convection/-dAAMt in late July/August.

That’s not a warm-west pattern until late August, verbatim. The next 2-3 weeks are the the warm window.

[Phil]

Folks in the Rockies/Plains are gonna f**king roast, though.

And later on the Midwest/Great Lakes will join them.

[Phil]

@TT-SEA Those Charleston waters much be REALLY warm.

More improvement on the 4th on the 18Z ECMWF...

It’s funny that the LA person would crap all over Seattle, then say “they don’t want to get political.” Can’t have it both ways!

As much as I don’t like what Seattle has become in a lot of ways, I also get defensive when people from outside the area $hit on it. It’s like the Mariners: we can criticize them as much as we want, but no outsiders had better do it!

What’s the precip totals for Sunday Monday looking like? 

[Meatyorologist]

I love my city. It has its very real and annoying problems but I'd argue it's overall a much better city than most cities in this country and many in the world.

73/55 today. Wish all of our sunny summer days stayed this cool.
