NorCal and OR get some very decent rainfall out of tropical remanants around D11 on the 06z GFS. San Jose actually gets some breezy weather out of sfc pressure gradients right at the end of that low's life... Technically tropical disturbance winds in central Cali. Neat.

Still no rain in sight.  

Likely one of the most extreme flips ever out here this spring and summer.   It rained almost every day for 90 days and now we are going 90 days with almost no rain.     Obviously there is a flip every year between spring and summer... but this one takes the cake.  

The period from March 20 - June 20 was recording setting in terms of persistent rain in the foothills.    And I will have to look it up, but it seems pretty likely that the June 20 - Sept 20 period might be record setting in terms of dry.  

Normally we would have had 30-35 additional dry days in the spring... and 20-25 additional days with rain from June 20 - Sept 20.      Somewhat balanced.     Not this year.

Shows up well in the total precip map on the GFS... WA is an island of dry while even CA gets meaningful rain.

Satellite shows that the low clouds are very patchy this morning like the ECMWF showed.   They formed in place in the valleys and did not solidly come inland from the coast like yesterday.   Should be a quick burn off today.

It also shows a massive fire down in Oregon pumping out an incredible amount of smoke.   Luckily the flow is supposed to stay onshore up here.    Any offshore flow now would get real ugly real fast.

Tomorrow will be the opposite again with low clouds coming in solidly all the way to the Cascades in the morning and not clearing until early afternoon.    Then basically no low clouds on Sunday morning.

Looks like the July/August period was the second driest ever at the Cedar Lake station... just behind 2017.  

Also looks like the June 20 - Sept 20 period in 2017 was very similar to this year overall.    The first significant rain came in the 3rd week of September.

It's still quite thick here in Sodo... down to ground level... but starting to lift.

Apparently that is the Cedar Creek fire which started on August 1st by lightning and has now finally exploded over a month later.

Was sunny at my house but as soon as I dropped down about 100’ on my way to work it was thick soup. 
Yes I had my heated steering wheel on since fall is here.

I've noticed that UW WRF GFS is pretty different Regular GFS sometimes I have seen different temperature forecasted from the two big differences sometimes.

Overall I like UW WRF GFS more so especially the 1 1/3km runs

The UW WRF is not even the GFS tbh...  This is a research model. It has bits and pieces of the GFS but it's still a completely different model.

Much slower... and also moving more north to south than to the east.     But will probably form in place around Seattle later.  

Here is the ECMWF cloud map for 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. tomorrow:

I don't think the 11 am view is going to be correct.  It is very socked in here right now, fairly drippy too.

Totally sunny in Seattle already just a few miles east of you.      You can see how low the fog bank is over you from the Space Needle cam.

12Z GFS is warmer for next week but then much cooler for next weekend compared to the 00Z run.     But it will probably trend warmer again as that period gets closer.   The 12Z GEM and 12Z ICON look fairly ridgy for next weekend.

Pretty accurate. You can see the that plume moving NNW currently on satellite. Next couple of days look really smokey for just about everywhere in the NW.

Looking like the smoke might actually keep us from breaking record highs here tomorrow.
