Phil Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 After today, appears there'll only be two more +departure days across the lowlands, as 7/30 & 7/31 look to average cooler than normal. Probably locks in slightly negative departures at PDX and OLM at least, probably not @ EUG, definitely not @ SEA. Also, looks like DCA will be the Achilles Heel again. Even after five consecutive 97+ degree days, the monthly departure is under +3.0. Probably will hit 97-99 degrees tomorrow, but cool close to average w/ mostly low 90s thereafter. Unless cloudcover/humidity keeps lows at 80+ degrees, many will bust high, including myself.

Jesse Posted August 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Hey guys, I've compiled the actual anomalies for the stations for June/July and have all of your forecasts on a spreadsheet too. Going to finish up and post an update by tonight. Sorry for the long delay. Summer quarter has been far more time consuming than I anticipated, coupled with lots of traveling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured they were neck and neck for first place, with them having their own thread and everything. Thanks for doing this Jesse. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted August 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Just for giggles, looking at SEA only, Phil's average error is 0.75, and Tim's is 0.90 For PDX, Phil's average error is 0.45 and Tim's is 1.45 In other words, Phil is beating Tim pretty handily for the two most talked about stations, as well as the overall contest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted August 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Ha! I figured I'd be in last place since I was basically pulling numbers randomly out of my a$$, but I had no idea it'd be so close! The way this breaks down statistically, a little bit counts for a lot. 1.21 is pretty far off in this case (I don't mean any offense by that).

TT-SEA Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 SEA is all I know here... June was +2.6 and I had +2.8 and then July was +1.1 and I had +1.4 Within a couple tenths of a degree and a warm June and July overall. Phil had June right but he had SEA below normal for July. There is no way he is beating me for SEA. Jesse is just being Jesse again.

Phil Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Funny, it's actually DCA that's killed me. More error there (for me) than three of the four other stations combined.

Phil Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 When DCA hits 90 degrees at 9AM, it typically signals at least an upper 90s high. I've literally lost track of the number of 9AM temperature readings at/above 90 degrees this year. What a hellhole..I'm in coastal GA right now and it feels nicer down here.

Phil Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Late August is going to make or break most of these forecasts. All hinges on whether we follow climo under the upcoming regime or we pull a fluke. Retrogression favored in the forcing/pattern analogs. DCA cranking it up again today, 99/75 intra hour high currently.. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherfan2012 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Yeah plus tommore the front is likey to be draped across our location so depending where the boundary sets up there could be more clouds and storms chances keeping temperatures in the low 90s instead of the upper 90s to near 100. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt DCA ends the month near +5.This is the type of pattern that will easily produce 90+ temperatures east of the Fall Line, along with warm overnight lows. Probably my least favorite summer pattern (trough to the west, SW flow on the front quadrant). Normals are in the mid-80s now, low-80s in ~ 10 days. Should easily finish the month at least around +4, maybe closer to +4.5.

Since 7/13, we've only had 4 days below 90 degrees, and since 7/5, we've only had 1 low below 70 degrees, and that was just barely so.

Phil Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 How unusual is that for out there? Haven't seen much media hype about record breaking heat waves in the east. Although I don't pay as much attention to the news anymore.Nothing record breaking, but it's been a toasty summer. This climate will always suck in the summer, as it has for hundreds of millions of years up to today.
