This thread will die in a couple of days because bust:

PDX:

Sun - 88

Mon - 91

Tue - 92

Wed - 90

Thu - 89

Fri - 89

I think PDX will get hotter than that, but I think this is being overblown.  The 500mb pattern never gets THAT impressive and surface gradients are onshore most of the time.

Mark Nelsen mentioned a chance of it being humid because of no surface offshore flow.

Those were based on runs from a couple days ago now. Obviously gonna do my real prediction Saturday night. The way the overnight runs turned out maybe close to 100 still (don’t think we see 100) …and we might even have to extend the contest unfortunately.

It was never going to hit 100 here with the upper level setup shown.  There is one or two days things look like they could get pretty toasty in that regard.

Yeah the models aren't showing a clear end to the heatwave yet which is worrying. Maybe Sunday to Sunday?

They are showing a clear end late next week / early next weekend with that shortwave, but I'm not happy about the trend of the ECMWF on duration.

BTW...this Sunday looks fine.

EPS looks great for the week after next.  I have to admit it looks like we might have 5 days of pretty hot weather.  I'm going 88 to 95 for SEA for Monday through Friday.  Maybe a tad cooler on Monday.

Here’s kinda where I’m at tonight…we will see where we’re at in 48 hours. 
 Tacoma 

7/24 87/60

7/25 90/61

7/26 94/64

7/27 96/65

7/28 94/65

7/26 95/66

7/27 97/66

7/28 95/66

7/29 92/65

Should our final forecasts include both SEA and PDX or just one of them? Also, should we include low temps? For PDX right now I'm thinking:

7/24: 92/60

7/24: 97/65

7/25: 98/65

7/26: 100/69

7/27: 100/70

7/28: 101/67

7/29: 97/66

7/30: 95/65

Are we actually grading this? If so I’ll have a full SEA/PDX forecast by the deadline.
