71 here…not bad. Nice little break before we go near 90 early next week. 

One or two days near 90 is par for the course in August.  It basically looks fine for the next couple of weeks.

Let's just lock this pattern in for the rest of the month.  What a difference from last week!

Won't lock in.

Yeah today was nice, low 70s here. SLE barely hit 80 after a low of 51. Good for a -5 departure. Looks like EUG was a crisp 47 this morning. Then there is PDX which had a low of 61. lol

Tonight should be the cool one for many places.

I'm sure we will spend time with the guys on the team, many of whom are from Latin America. Also Grand Rapids is about 60% white, 21% black, 15% Latino. Seems pretty diverse. 

I thought the goal was supposed to be for a color blind society.  At least that's what the left used to say.

Was very refreshing to have a summer day that felt normal.

Yeah... not going to be very diverse there either.  Not much you can do about it.   Should I not spend time in Issaquah and Minnesota?   We also go to Hawaii and Charleston and Florida and California and all are very diverse places.   So is the Seattle area.   Bringing up race is such a cheap way to troll.  Should be way below you.

I think he's just yanking your chain. There was only 1 photo of the people that went there. Kind of an anecdotal, situational thing.

Reminds me of when I was getting lots of Fall pictures in the area I used to live in, it gave the appearance they had more trees than anyone thought. I just chose nice streets to get the pictures. 

There was a common theme I noticed when eastern Oregon/Washington randomly came up in a conversation, that more of the northwest's racists live there, yet they've had a growing number of hispanics for decades. Those who jokes about Hillsboro's name (morphed with burrito) should look up Yakima's demographics on wikipedia.

DPs in the 40s for SEA now.  A totally delightful day.

That's the way I live my life. These days it takes tremendous effort to seek out exclusively white spaces. 

 

I agree. 100% of his posts have a troll component. 

I have lived in very white areas my whole life.  It just happened that way.  Interestingly the job I've had for the last year has more minorities than whites though.

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

Very true.  Overpowering the 4CH has gotten to be quite the challenge this century.  Even this time it took a sustained -4 PNA to just get the extreme NW part of the country cooled off.

He has apparently been spending an inordinate of time on the schitter on this trip, or he could just be the archaic meaning of inordinate, I go with both.

Not sure if someone tracks the demographic, but I suspect weather weenies are OVERWHELMINGLY pale skinned.

It's just interesting because I continue to be impressed with the amazing diversity of our country, and the rich tapestry of cultures and perspectives I continually am blessed to experience. Yet, you continue to exist in exclusively white spaces. Even in a state like Minnesota with a rich immigrant population. And the picture you posted was extremely crowded with people packed in like "sardines."

I suspect you are just joking, but I’m not sure. 

Northern Minnesota is very white. He can’t help it that his family lives in that location.

Mid-high 60s at 1pm was very nice

Was just about to start hiding posts back to when Andrew derailed the topic.    Meaty beat me to it.

[Meatyorologist]

If I hid your posts it doesn't necessarily mean I disagreed. Just sanitizing this page of whatever BS just transpired.

[TacomaWx]

Not sure why what I said would need that treatment it was just a joke I’m sure Tim wasn’t even offended

Literally anything replying or referencing that.... "conversation" ..... was hidden. Again, even if it was innocuous. I actually found it funny btw. Seriously just sanitizing rn

[GHweatherChris]

Ya, not sure why my reply to Tim got deleted, if you don't want people to read what you say don't even type it in the first place.  Also, you know what nevermind.... whatever I want to say now will just get me in trouble.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Just as long as I get to keep all the positive reactions I got.

Yes you Andrew. 

Meaty said I was in such a funk lately.  So I posted a couple pics of where I was at the time.   You turned it into something much different.

Had a flash flood warning last nite in Phoenix. Nice rainstorm and light show. Finally clearing up now

Not my point, there are some individuals that quote unquote are in charge now with control they should not have and it was almost flexed by an offended individual but you stepped in first.  Personally, I do not have issue with you, you do good most of the time.  But honestly, I didn't see anything wrong with a very clear and well thought out observation someone had.

Sure Andrew.   Race was the real topic.  

[Meatyorologist]

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.

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.

[The Blob]

Nice day out.

[Tyler Mode]

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.

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.

[Doiinko]

Around 76/56 here from some stations nearby.

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

Today was really gorgeous. 75/58 with some morning clouds and light drizzle giving way to blue skies by early afternoon.

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

Mariners begin a much easier part of their schedule now... going to be a fun 2 months.

Should be in the 80s for the Seattle area this weekend.  

[TacomaWx]

65 here nice evening. Gfs seems to not like our precip chances as much as the euro and cmc do next week. 

[TacomaWx]

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.
