Unfortunately we can’t control how hate groups use certain symbols.

Did you also know that “88” is a symbol used by neonazis? 

I mostly lurk here but it seems to me that Andrew was really stirring the pot because he is bored or something. 

 

Did not know that either.    After 20 years... you would think Andrew might PM me and tell me that emoji has some hidden dark meaning so I can change it.   Rather than launching into a 2 day personal attack that could not be farther from the truth.

Isle of Palms is very humid! @TT-SEA

We experienced about 4 hours of brutal humidity on Tuesday evening.    No one wanted to be outside.  It's been a long time since I have felt it that sticky and luckily it was gone almost as fast as it came on.   Wednesday was actually sort of chilly and windy.    I can honestly say I would hate to have that crap all summer.    It would ruin summer.

I really enjoyed today’s perfect weather! Quite the sky I was heading home from the lake house after loading up the jetski. Going to trend east for a few days!

Forum trip up to Banff for a shot at some mid August snow? 

Tim and Andrew can get massages together.

[The Blob]

69.

[MossMan]

Guess I missed some stuff on the forum today. Yikes. Anyway, 73/47 on the day.

.26” of liquid so far on the month. 

[Requiem]

Unfortunate things I seemed to have missed. On a more positive note this EURO run seems to have some nice thunder/lightning chances for NW OR on Tuesday-- followed by a potent wave of thunderstorms for W. WA on Thursday (bulk of it is too west for the Puget Sound this run). 

 

[snow_wizard]

Very decent ECMWF run tonight.  Warm for a few days then falls back to normal and even below.

But is it really? We have had 90" of precip this water year, if that is a dust bowl then it's not that bad. 

It's been kind of interesting up here.  Bone dry summers, but the other three seasons have been consistently normal to quite wet.

Yeah...At this point the ULL seems intent on moving up the coast too far west to give the Puget Sound area much of a shot.  Pretty rare for the coast to be ground zero for warm core action.

My favorite is the ok hand signal turning into the white power symbol.  Gets really tiring having insane leftists hijack our language.

No. This night has sucked already, even before I got online. Just another fucking shit cherry on this shit sundae

That sucks.  99% of the time things seem better after a good night's sleep.

Thanks Jim. You are very right. I am drunk and tired. Been a long week and a very strange and numbing night in many ways even outside of this forum.

Dude we need to hang again soon. Seriously... I can vouch for TWL he is cool as f*ck. 

Ditto. Andrew is really down to earth. I really hope to meet more of y'all one day.

00Z EPS still shows the trend upward like the 12Z run but is a little cooler overall.

Really unfortunate when sociopolitical agendas hijack our observation thread.

[Cascadia_Wx]

Clear and 55 this morning. Should be a decent diurnal swing today at very least. Hoping we can keep this heatwave at three days with some action on the back end. Tuesday looks iffy for 90 at this point with lots of HCS potential.

[Cascadia_Wx]

I know everywhere has warmed but it’s pretty insane how hard it’s gotten for PDX to fall below 60 in the mid summer, even during favorable set ups. The UHI or whatever is going on at that station is just a cherry on top for the background warming that is already occurring.

 

[Mr Marine Layer]

Good morning to all and happy second half of astronomical summer. Enjoy the weekend. 

Jesse is getting back to his old downvoting ways.

RED FLAG WARNING!

[snow_wizard]

Not a single 90 for SEA on the 6z after Tuesday.  That would probably mean no day in that period would even make 85.  Looks like this month will at least be reasonable.  Still a pretty hard to road to hoe for it to end up below normal though.  That having been said SEA was running close to -2 after yesterday for the month to date.

56 here Livingston MT.    Down from 95 earlier today in ND.

I just think it’s funny that with all the $hit that went down here last night, this is the one that gets 4 downvotes? Such an awful and offensive comment.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I am going to sign out for a while, not sure I want to be part of a community which tolerates this kind of thing. 

[hawkstwelve]

Mods are discussing what needs to be done about last night and where to hand down consequences. That being said, if this continues into this morning, it will be a lot easier for us - we won't be so nitpicky and will just start handing out temp bans left and right.

In other words, that is absolutely enough. Don't push it.

You are amazing.  For a few days you seem kind of positive, and then out comes the political crap.  

This is just as inflammatory as the entire "discussion" from last night.

Let the downvotes rain, I don't care.  I am tired of this place being political.  I am not leaving because it has been a shlt show from time to time for forever, but D**n.

Back in North Bend... beautiful morning.   Looks like got down to 50 last night. 

[GHweatherChris]

Got down to 44° again this morning here, should see at least a 40° temp spread today.

The GFS looks decent for the South Sound too.

Maybe take away that emoji if it causes issues. Then we may later have somebody using it purely out of sarcasm knowing a member or two won't like it being used.

That's something we can consider. I wasn't aware that symbol was co-opted by a racist crowd and I would strongly bet that anyone who has ever used it here never meant it with that connotation. But I could see the future troll angle so might be worth checking out removing it.

Ultimately, if any member has any concerns about any other member, slinging accusations around on the forum is not the way to handle it. Either PM the member directly to try and hash it out like adults, or PM a mod/admin so we can address it if needed. We should never be losing long time members or scaring new members away because a few select individuals don't know how to handle their emotions. I know we have a long history amongst some members here but "oh he does this every now and again, he'll stop eventually" is not an excuse.

This is a weather forum where people can come and share their passion for meteorology. They should be able to do that without wading through pages of long held personal beef. Keep it about the weather.

Looks like our ULL gets a little stuck!

Nice pattern after Monday.

12Z ECMWF quite different than it's 00Z run as well... more in line with the GEFS.

I don’t see how his post was inflammatory. Good grief Karen. 

[Mr Marine Layer]

I missed last night's disturbing discourses. 

[RentonHillTC]

EPS yesterday vs today for PDX. fewer extreme numbers in long range.
