3pm obs got SEA at 90. Also quite breezy out.  Still got an hour or so left if it didn’t already happened. 

Been at 90 for awhile now... but this happened last Thursday as well and the inter-hour observations didn't count due to rounding.    It's happening earlier today so maybe it will stick.

It's crazy because 32C is 89.6 and 33C is 91.4

There is an important 1.8F in between there including 90 degrees!

89.6 really should round up to 90 if one is reporting whole degrees. My math teacher would have made a red check mark in our rounding lesson if I had rounded 89.6 to 89.

It's called clown range for a reason.

Yikes…those fires in southern OR and northern CA are taking off. 

G18_sector_pnw_GEOCOLOR_24fr_20220830-1844.gif

Kind of amazing the fire in the Bull of the Woods Wilderness last summer was 2X bigger than the Rum Creek Fire is right now and no one was paying any attention to it given how many other large fires were going on. We had smoke off an on from that for weeks. It was basically burning unburned forest on the NE side of the Beachie Creek burn scar.

Yeah so far this seasons been pretty quiet…hopefully it stays that way but I’m starting to get a bit worried. I’m supposed to be camping not too far from that fire west of Waldo lake in a week from now might not go if the situation deteriorates.

I really think we would have escaped the summer of 2020 without any significant smoke if that clipper had not roared through on Labor Day and kicked off 60-80 mph east winds.    The 500mb pattern after that was very quiet and calm... which also left us buried in smoke at that point once all the fires started.

Only 88 on the 4 p.m. observation.   I don't trust this tweet!    I still think it could end up at 89 for a high.

It would’ve been just fine without that clipper. I doubt we see anything like that fire/smoke situation this year.

Not sure I trust it either. Usually the NWS understands about the rounding issues though so hopefully it holds.

I sense a retraction tweet coming if they didn't account for rounding!   Could be newbie there.   😀

Or maybe SEA can actually get to 90 on the hour at 5 p.m. and leave no doubt.

What's the reason for the mesowest page rounding to the nearest degree Celsius and then converting to Fahrenheit? That seems like kind of a mess.

Not quite, but it’s never too early for a little Earth Wind and Fire!

That song has had quite the resurgence.   My son said its played at every college party now and most of the kids know every word by heart.

September in particular can feature dry troughs and a strong onshore flow that still can burn off in the afternoon for a pleasant day. Harder to pull that off in October without some rainfall.

Been discussed many times on here, but in terms of temps and precip, September is basically just as much a summer month as June for most the PNW.

Just like June, it can be more of a seasonal transition month, or it can more closely resemble summer than any other season.

18z operational is an extreme warm outlier in the long range. Not saying its wrong though...
