August 2022 PNW Observations and Discussion - 1956 Redux!1!!1!

[Chewbacca Defense]

Didn't dip below 70 here until about 4:30 this morning.  I stepped outside this morning to some very light rain, but just a few drops before it stopped.

Currently 69

Based on the radar... it looks like its dumping rain down there and in Seattle.    Really unfortunate we could not score a significant rain event from all this monsoonal moisture.    It will all be pushed off to the east by later this afternoon.

Just raining lightly. Just heard some thunder though. Wasn’t expecting that.

Nest cam back home confirms some wet fell but no accumulation in the bucket

66* Federal Way

Thunder!

[TacomaWx]

65 currently with a 90% wet deck. 

[TacomaWx]

Wouldn’t be surprised if some of these cells to the south and SW produced some more lightning. We did manage a low of 64 this morning though still raining. 

[MossMan]

Hearing lots of lightning on the am radio driving to work just now!

Finally have some lift now with that ULL rotating through offshore... looks like there is lots of development to the south as well.

The sound of lightning is thunder.

Sky looks convective still been raining for over an hour now phat drops currently. 

[TT-SEA]

On the satellite you can see the moisture getting squeezed and lifted with SE and SW flow converging.

Lightning emits more than visible light; it emits radio waves as well. The sound Mossman is hearing is the sound his radio receiver makes when it receives those waves. Has to be on the AM band because the waves have a huge bandwidth and thus do not have any frequency component in the receiver bandpass, only an amplitude one.

Very nice morning.  This is a pleasant surprise. Looks like more moisture is popping up down South also with some stronger showers showing up.  I hope it keeps going a while. I am liking that the moisture is forming farther West than earlier.  It looked it was over and had gone East for a while.

65 here currently.  House wide open.

[Phil]

Need a Yellowstone super-eruption ASAP.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Nice day.

Looks like another cell is heading this way. Hasn’t been any lightning in the past hour or so but we will see.

There are other ways to remove yourself from the planet more quickly... rather than waiting for nature to kill every living thing.

Gorgeous sunset on Wednesday night. #Nofilter

[TacomaWx]

Picked up 0.09” this morning. Up to 0.21” for august and we also broke a 9 day dry streak. Very nice surprise should be some more rain here soon. 

[Randyc321]

OT question

Anyone fished at Ozette lake in late Summer?  I will be spending some time there week after next and hope to drop a line or two.

Nice!  

Way more rain this month than out here.  

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Was talking to IBRChris yesterday about where are averages our headed. He thinks SLE could average around 90 for a daytime high in July/August by the end of the century. Makes sense, their daily averages should peak around 87-88 for the 2001-2030 period. We are basically seeing what our climate would look like with no marine influence in the summer.

Wish the rain was more regional we’ve just been in a lucky spot so far this month.

No filters here either…Truly a gray day. 

[TacomaWx]

Looks like there’s a pretty decent storm on southern Vancouver island. 

[Cloud]

Wet out there this morning and feeling quite humid still.

Very cloudy at home, but partly sunny down in Salem. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

We only hit 79 yesterday and it drizzled almost the entire day. The low of 66 was close to if not one of the warmest in the modern era for our location. 

[TT-SEA]

12Z GFS is much warmer and drier for next weekend compared to its 00Z run.  

[Winterdog]

Delightful night with a low of 68.  69 now with 89% humidity and a touch of drizzle.  Loving the models; lets continue this crap through September. 

[YahRaEl]

65° some sprinkles/drizzle here in Belltown Seattle Neighborhood

One thing about these warm summers we’ve been experiencing is September overall hasn’t been torching in many of these years when it’s hot in July/august. 

[Phil]

Demise of the warm season circulation starts in 1 week!

 

[TacomaWx]

Radar looks pretty decent to the south of here.

June is not part of summer?

Gawd!  Raining again!  Is there no end to this?
