James Jones Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Today has a "surprise" 90 feel to it. Probably depends on when tonight's marine push starts to take effect.850s at 19C with light offshore flow, good enough to get it done. Marine push will probably come too late. 12z Euro ensembles look a lot different than the op at day 10. image.png Looks like the ensembles don't like cutting off that low. This heat event could end up being another mirage.Hard to tell without looking at the individual ensemble members, it could just have trouble figuring out the strength/location of the cutoff. The Canadian at 240 hours looks pretty similar to the Euro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canadian at 240 hours looks pretty similar to the Euro.Hard to say. Models seem to be struggling with the pattern evolution following the weekend/early week ULL. Given the tendencies this summer it wouldn't at all surprise me for the trough to trend closer and the offshore ridge further east/stronger.

Brennan Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Snowwizz you seem to learn nothing. You do this all winter long. This is a lock or that is a lock. The weekend isn't here yet but in your mind it's already been cool. Wake up man. Graceful you are. Is Snowwiz not the one of the kindest human beings there is? Heart of a child, filled with faith. Love you Jim! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love you Jim!I didn't really get that attack. The models are looking cool this weekend. That is a pretty reasonable range to talk about. It's not like he was saying a January snowstorm was a lock.

TT-SEA Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 This could end up being one of the coolest Seafair weekends ever. It will be interesting to see how it actually plays out.Pretty nice Saturday and maybe part of Sunday. It looks pretty sunny for Saturday now and the ULL is southwest of us on Sunday still which might allow for a decent day early on. Makes you happy though when summer events are ruined. I remember you gleefully laughing at kids playing baseball in the cold rain back in May one year.

I told her this time of year is usually perfect, but her first weekend will probably be unusually cool/cloudy. We usually do summer and early autumn right. No doubt about it. I would still like to see a return to the cooler / drier summers we used to have though. The ocean must have been consistently cold during the first quarter of the 20th century.

If anything, it seems like our summers are slightly drier now than they used to be. SEA has had a couple of anomalously wet summer months the last few years but that has been isolated right around the Seattle area, it's been normal to the north and south. Our summers are obviously quite a bit warmer than they used to be though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
