Fascinating temperature gradient today.  72 in OLM while Portland is 85.  It's very apparent northern areas are being influenced by the trough digging down from BC while OR is still being influenced by the 4CH.

Only 75 in Kelso while it's 85 in PDX. 10 degree difference right now at 4pm.

9/7/19 was a beast. Fond memories of that storm. I've probably shared the story a million times just like Randy and his Nov 2006 surprise snow story.

Left work to watch it, huge CG's within a mile blasting all around me, many with near instant thunder. There were a few bolts close enough to briefly hear that "clicking" before the bang. @Phil has seen enough huge storms to know what I'm talking about. Those bolts were probably within a few blocks. Oh what I would do to see that again. :)

Yup that’s when you know it’s close.

Speaking of which, I almost got struck by lightning today. Lots of close positive strikes.

Atmosphere got overturned enough that it feels borderline nice outside!

That’s f*cking lame. Heatwave never really ended down there it’s been much nicer up here the last 3 days. 

Yeah....the Pacific high has had more influence up here.  This trough coming down will get everyone cool tomorrow.

It’s only gotten to 71 with full sunshine here today. 

The low of 53 this morning was a really nice surprise.  First sub 60 low in a while and it was way below.

Pretty simple... comes down to proximity to the water with weak onshore flow.

Just beat the rain on the ride home from work. Now sprinkling.

Still full sunny goodness here! 

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

Kind of funny how that cutoff low that delayed the big cooling is going to move inland next week and save us from getting another major heatwave.  Two decent troughs in less than a week assuming the one next week behaves as expected.  Pretty good by recent August standards.

Nice CAA going on in spite of still being full sunshine.  We need a lot more of this going forward this month.

Currently 66 and sunny. 

You didn't get to experience the true heat and humidity with the last one.  You got off easy.

Wowzers!  OLM had a really cool 73/45 range today.  Could we possibly have a shot at....

A little part of 1955 lives on with every day that isn't all time record hot.

Send it! We just put up misters on the patio so hopefully they’ll get some mileage. Also hope they are put to good use next January for ornamental ice accretions.

I almost lived at Stampede Pass for awhile too. 😱

Got video too! Heck I’ve posted videos of bolts < 100 yards from me on this forum maybe 5 times in the last 2 years? 😂
