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.

Ag Weather update yesterday talked about the warmth expanding westward...

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.

[TT-SEA]

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

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.    

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.

[TacomaWx]

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

Yes it’s horrible here. LA people should definitely stay in LA.

There've been a modest number over the decades. 2012, 2011, 1993, 1989, 1986, 1966, 1964, 1963, 1957, 1955, and 1954.

Yeah... people in LA shouldn't be talking about Seattle being a craphole.   But he did say LA is a mess too.

Considering the height anomaly it actually doesn't look to get all that hot here. We run 8-10F degrees cooler than the airport as well so it's not going to be anything close to record breaking at least up here.

I feel I never appreciated the fact it was a back to back job. Whole lotta dewness built up in those two months.

Another absolutely gorgeous day here with a high of 80F and a low of 44F. Still have yet to exceed 85F this summer. Just  summer perfection thus far this year. 

Looks to be some pretty widespread showers and thunderstorms Sunday and Monday which will hopefully continue to keep things lush and green and the fire season at bay.

Surprisingly, July 2017 is the only one since then to pull it off around here. Battle Ground topped out at 89 that month before the early August inferno.

77/56 day here. Marine layer hung on until noon or so, then bright sunshine. Really nice day.

At least you guys have the rain to wash the shi!t away, they have to have people go out with pressure washers every morning to clean the side walks.

Even after that two year sub-88 juggernaut, July has managed to hold its own quite well despite the emotionally-crippling aspects of 2013-2021. Only a couple bonafide runaway torches.

Early in my career I would travel to do network upgrades. The dress code at the company at that time was a white dress shirt with a suit and tie.  We had an office in Fountain Valley in Orange County that I visited a couple times.  

On my first visit my coworkers took me to lunch at a burger shack at Huntington Beach about ten minutes from the office. We sat in our suits next to Jeff Spicoli and friends with the ocean across the street. I was impressed and do get the appeal of socal.

July 2018 out of all years brought a record low (38) in Eugene for the entire month of July surprisingly.

I prefer four doors myself, just a tad more leg room.

I’ve never actually owned a Honda.

We did have an Accord as a rental a couple months ago though. Not too shabby.
