Another troll post. 

Hardly.  

Are you trolling when you say you look forward to a rainy weekend?     We get so few 80-degree weekends each year.    Maybe just a handful.   I enjoy every one of them and glad I won't miss this one.

A little drizzle this morning, the first precip of any kind in at least 11 years...

Looks like it was 2 weeks without precip in my area before this morning.

Crazy to think we used to have whole summers like today. 

It’s funny I was thinking the same thing driving home from work today. This used to be the default. Now it’s a “cool spell” wedged between a couple massive heatwaves.

I wouldn't call what's coming massive heat.  That cutoff low will bring it back down pretty quickly.

Looks quite nice for the foreseeable future.  On the warm side of normal but not miserably so.

Well based on the euro verifying through mid month…we would be at 19 +80 days and 11 +85 days. Through mid august of 2021 we were at 33 +80s and 13 +85s. Obviously we blew past the all time +90 record this year at my location but overall we are lagging behind 2021 for “warm days”.  I’m thinking we finish this year with 25 +80s, 11 +85s and 8 +90s.

Lol. I fully expect a nuclear blowtorch out here until proven otherwise. Especially during the autumn months. 

Larry Cosgrove is also hype up about the fall and winter so it will be interesting to see what happens dispite the mass disagreement between Larry and others his summer forecasts has been one of the most accurate that was made.Not sure what that means going for word 🤔 but will be interesting to see if he continues to be right despite it not making any since lol.It could be that he more of a old school type then a new school.Not to offend Larry but I think he stays in the old school ways to much and does not  give the newer forecasting enough credit but it is his right and it is fair enough.We are all stuck in our own  ways at something in life.it is not easy to  accept change.

Still absolutely nothing shown for the Atlantic.  Pretty weird with a multi year Nina going.

WILDFIRE UPDATE 

NEW Known Wildfires started today! 8/4/22 

Washington - 4 (Big slow down in new fires today, but sadly those fast moving brushfires from the other day are still spreading and causing them to be labeled as "large" fires in WA  So there are now four large fires in WA.  Prior to the heatwave, there was zero.  They are called the Williams Lake Fire, Stayman Fire, Vantage Highway Fire, and the new Cow Canyon Fire. The positive news is, while these are larger fires, they are all listed as having minimal impact and a low chance of becoming a big issue. Total fires dropped from 33 to 26. ) Total: 26

Oregon - 7 (Cooler weather helped damper OR fire growth, but there is still a lot.  Yesterday there were two major fires in the state, that number has jumped to five, all located within the Cascade Range or Eastern OR.  The large fires are the fast spreading Miller Road Fire in Wasco County, the Beech Creek Fire near John Day, the Willow Creek Fire near Ontario, which is finally slowing down, the new Cedar Creek Fire and Windigo Fire deep in the Cascade's  Fire crews are at both Cascade Range fires. Good and bad news along the OR-CA border.  The two massive fires are slowing down, but embers from those fires have created a brand new fast burning fire called the Smokey Fire deep in the Klamath's. The total has dropped from 60 to 50 thanks to effective firefighters.) Total: 50

Idaho - 0 (No new fires.  Two major fires still exist, the Moose Fire and Woodtick Fire in remote locations within the Bitterroot Range. Total drops from 4 to 3. ) Total: 3

British Columbia - 20 (Fires slowed slightly today due to cooler air.  Little progress has been made on any of the large fires in BC. There are currently six large fires, all located within the Kamloops and Southeast Districts.  The total amount of fires in the province remains at 62 thanks to smaller lightning induced fires burning out.) Total: 62 

SMOKE UPDATE

Smoke models show the majority of smoke blowing eastward, but possibly around August 5th, winds turn offshore and smoke could blow into the populated areas of the Puget Sound, Willamette Valley, and Lower Mainland.  Oregon's Jackson County and Klamath County remain under a poor air quality advisory due to the smoke from fires in California. A fire near Stayton that was producing smoke has been put out.  Eastern Oregon is going to be socked in by smoke aloft, and some low to mid-level smoke the closer you get to Klamath County. 

Smoke has led to moderate conditions in the Treasure Valley extending towards Ontario, Oregon.  All of Boise can expect this moderate to poor air for several days due to California wildfires.

Spokane and the Okananogan Valley of Washington will see moderate air quality.  Smoke from a fire in Ellensburg and outside of Spokane is hoaxing up the sky in Spokane County and rural counties to the west of it.

Smoke from the six major fires in BC is effecting mainly the regions the fires are located in, with smoke low to the ground, mid level, and aloft, as it gets trapped in the mountain valleys. The large fire near Penticton BC is causing dangerous air conditions around Penticton, but not Kelowna to the north as the smoke is flowing south into Washington's Okanogan Valley and mixing into the smoke that flows east to Spokane.  One can expect this smoke from BC to flow aloft over Idaho and Montana in the coming days.

I saw that Lind was evacuated and 10 structures lost, but then saw later they had it contained by end of the day.

I’m sure something will blow up right off the coast when I’m in Saint Simons next week. Seems to happen every other year.
