One of our own #wawx members is recovering from a pretty bad bout of Covid. He's been in the community for a decade plus now, I've talked with him on Twitter since I joined the platform. If any of you guys have an acct over there, go and wish him a speedy further recovery.

Hey all, I'm officially new to this forum but I've lurked around here every once in a few days since December 2021 to follow on the snow forecasts, and ever since I just generally lurked to follow the weather while learning things bit by bit.  I withheld on making an account because I don't have anything to contribute, I believe, and I wasn't sure how a newbie or an outsider would be treated. I have a very vague sense on how to read GFS or ECMWF maps but have no idea how to use them to pred

Well it looks slow in here so here are some pics from today. Lily lake trail overlooking fallen leaf lake towards the East shore of Tahoe. But first we had to be granted access by momma bear.

Kind of a bummer to see the ECMWF trend west with the storms tomorrow night at the last minute.  Still a fair shot for the Seattle area though.

Interestingly... the GFS shows 89 in Olympia tomorrow and the ECMWF shows 88.      

So they are actually in agreement for that area.

101? Pretty mild day for Lake Havasu in August…

Indeed. 110’s are more typical there. Also typical for it to not cool down much at night in the Colorado River Valley.

I remember one time long ago driving back from a family road trip to coastal California from New Mexico. Had the windows of the car open on the warm desert night because even though it was still in the 80’s Fahrenheit, the sun was down and the fresh air felt good. Then we started dropping down into Needles and it just got hotter and hotter. Had to roll up the windows and put the A/C back on. It was midnight and still well above 90˚F.

Was also baking hot in the middle of the night the one time I passed through Needles on the train in the summer.

Problem is, the ULL driving all this isn't swinging fully inland. That means the best lift will be confined to the coast and over the Ocean. Kind of unfortunate.

Is it raining there?   That band moved westward through my area and I don't think any of it reached the ground.

Its still approaching here, just to the South, but the SDOT cams look like Seattle is barely wet.

We shall see

Portland may be "in for it" soon, hopefully these survive to Seattle somewhat intact too!

The HRRR and the WRF GFS were the most insistent on some convection today morning I think, looks like they might be right!

Portland still forecast to reach 88 today.

Portland underperformed and only hit 88 yesterday so I guess this doesn't really count as a "heatwave" anymore because only 2 days were above 90 according to Mark Nelsen's definition. Still basically a heatwave in my opinion though.
