Jesse Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 It's mostly an island issue for now. Sounds like the Haida Gwaii up north is also starting to see issues with low water.The late week system should help somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT-SEA Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Lake Couer D'Alene is gorgeous. Also... we drove 20 miles south on 95 from CDA to get to our rental house and the drive was spectacular. We had never been down this way.

Tyler Mode Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Chilly morning, a low of 46.5 today. The coldest it got down to all of last July was 49.2. 3 of 5 days with lows in the 40s this month.

Again, last July only saw 3 the entire month.Yup, cleared out enough overnight for some cool lows, and now clouds and light showers seem to be moving in from the NW. Could be a pretty cool day in spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a pretty cool day in spots.Ya, I was surprised at how clear it was this morning given the strong NW winds last night. Almost completely clouded over now and 58 degrees. I've only had this station 6 years in December, so my record lows the next couple of mornings are: 6th: 48.57th: 51.18th: 51.9 Hopefully I can notch those down, but the cloud cover my hinder that.

Tyler Mode Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 All, Here are pictures from my short hike up Vista Ridge near Mt. Hood in Oregon. A couple of weather related items: 1) There must have been quite a bit more wind this winter as there were a lot more snags blown down over the trail. 2) The wildflowers are running just over two weeks behind where they were last year thanks to a larger snow pack. All pictures: http://www.naturespixpdx.com/Landscapes/Vista-Ridge-7116/ This area was burned a few years ago in the Dollar Lake Fire. The regrowth is amazing though. Blowdown: Wildflowers...I took similar pictures of this area in mid-June last year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 00z EPS retrogrades the height fields completely, with troughing centered over the PNW through d15. New ECMWF weeklies also do the same thing, with offshore ridging (centered near the Aleutians) persisting through the remainder of July, through most of August. 4 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...

New ECMWF weeklies also do the same thing, with offshore ridging (centered near the Aleutians) persisting through the remainder of July, through most of August.Seems the PNW is now locked into a persistent troughing pattern, the opposite of last years ridge. What are the chances there's a reprieve and the 4 corners ridge expands northwest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the chances there's a reprieve and the 4 corners ridge expands northwest?I don't see any prolonged ridging/heatwaves through the remainder of July at least. There should be a brief mid-month break in the troughing, following TC-induced WAFs boosting vorticity/EFs under the NPAC jet, however this will quickly retrograde/split as heights build in the NPAC thereafter. 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...

Phil Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 12z ECMWF in line with its 00z OP/EPS run overall, as well as the 12z GEFS. Waiting on the 12z EPS/NAEFS.

Anti Marine Layer Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Strange summer so far with a very strong 4 Corners ridge bringing record heat to Southern California around the summer solstice just a few days after snow was forecast as low as 6000 ft for Northern California. Now that ridge is gone and it looks similar to 2010, except that sea surface temperatures are much warmer, at least for Southern California. 2010 had persistent troughs for the PAC NW, and kept Southern California coastal areas very cool in July 2010. In fact, I remember places struggling to break out of the mid 60s in 2010 right after July 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 12z EPS similar to 00z, slightly stronger with offshore ridging overall, except much stronger with the ridging over the Aleutians during the 11-15 day range. Went from neutral to +1.5SD there in the extended range. Also depicts a major heatwave over most of the country east of the Rockies in the 11-15 day..in fact the only "blues" in the country are in the NW.

Phil Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Also, FWIW the 12z NAEFS trended in line with the 12z EPS in the 11-15 day range overall, with a stronger offshore/Aleutian ridge and NW trough. Fairly consistent trend since Sunday.

Phil Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 As far as 850mb temperatures are concerned, they're just about as anomalous as they were during the June heatwave, at least during the weekend. I don't know enough about the lower boundary layer tendencies or microclimates out there to say anything more.

I don't know enough about the lower boundary layer tendencies or microclimates out there to say anything more.It's an impressive trough, definitely a fringe entity considering the transition from early to mid summer. Pulling off anything more than a -10 day at any westside location is highly unlikely though. Could see some -15's for highs perhaps, possibly even cooler if anything stratiform precip comes to pass. 2 Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.
