TT-SEA Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Wager what? Take a chill pill. I say that the second half of July will average warmer than the first half of July at SEA. The opposite of what you were saying even last week.

Deweydog Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 If the latest modeling is correct, most of the region will have at least a -10F departure by July 10th, with more below average temperatures to come. Even considering the high possibly of another round of heavy troughing later in the month, I'd say no to this one. -10f for the first 10 days of the month? Is this -30c Phil making a return appearance? Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 -10F departures for the first 10 Days of July would be a tall order. Probably a little above average thru 2 days here. You would need 8 days of low to mid 60s / mid 40s type of days.Not my forecast, just describing the ECMWF/EPS solution(s) verbatim.

TT-SEA Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 I'll stick with the ECMWF suite. Fair enough. I can just get more detail with the WRF since I don't pay for the ECMWF. SEA and PDX might not even be below normal at all for July through 7/4. Going to be hard to go from normal to -10 in 6 days.

Lower overall for the entire month might be better. But you have said there is a big crash coming in mid-July. This never made sense to me based on our local history. I think you saw hints of what is actually going to happen in the next week and misread the timing.

This never made sense to me based on our local history. I think you saw hints of what is actually going to happen in the next week and misread the timing.Well, my timing was (mostly) based on a combination of analog tendencies and current forcing progression. However, given the poleward circulations/U-wind belts seem to have flipped into Niña mode already, I guess I underestimated the systematic intertial tendency to return to the aforementioned background state.

Phil Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 I will say the pattern on the long range modeling looked weird to me, so I suspected something was up/missing. Overall, being a week too slow doesn't bother me much, as long as the pattern resembles what I'd forecasted (which it does, so far).

TT-SEA Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Backing off of something you said you were sticking with huh? I think that I adjusted quicker. Early July troughing certainly happening despite being told I was completely wrong for the last couple weeks and the big crash would happen around 7/15. The second half July will average warmer than the first half... the opposite of the prediction for a crash by 7/15. Remember to bring this post up at the end of July.

Although its interesting to note that from Portland south there is not really a cool, cloudy day until maybe Friday. They seem to get into at least the mid 70s down there each day this week. Maybe 80 on Wednesday.

TT-SEA Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Only -9? I think PDX might be close to normal still on 7/7. Going to be hard to score a -10 for the month just 3 days later! EDIT: They are at +3.5 after the first 2 days of that period. Could end up a little above normal still at 7/10.

The -10F comment was pretty silly, but it definitely looks like a solidly cool period upcoming. Highly unlikely they are sitting above normal for the month by the 10th, unless something changes drastically between now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 Wonderful few days at Clear Lake, Oregon. Highs in the low-mid 70s both days with lows in the low 40s Friday morning and around 50 yesterday morning. Spent most of Friday kayaking all over the lake. There are some incredible scenes in the cold, clear water there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
