VancouverIslandSouth Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Constant trolling now. Record setting wet spring outside of a tiny area to the NE of the Olympics. About as far from "typical" as possible in terms of rain in many areas. And back-to-back record setting rainy seasons. It does not get any wetter. And we live a in a very wet place normally. Well it depends on whether you include what's technically winter in that (i.e. Feb/Mar). You can't expect spring weather from those months and I agree those were a little wetter than normal; however April has not been particularly abnormal outside of a few small areas. I'd say the previous two Aprils were the real outliers for being warm and dry when looking back at historic data. Either way we need rain in the spring, summer is just around the corner and we aren't fortunate enough to have the Aleutian Low keep things in check during the summer like the Icelandic Low does over Western Europe. Summers in Western Europe are much rainier than summers here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Ranger Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Stop trying to frame things a certain way. You said Portland in particular is homerish. All I said is there was no reason to single out a specific area. Just ask all of the people from the Seattle area who gave this regionally very good winter an F because it didn't snow as much in a relatively narrow urban corridor who's homerish. Like you said. It isn't a bad thing. Human nature. But it seemed odd to throw the "especially Portland" comment in. Last time I defend you against Tim's baseless attacks. I never once said "homerish". Everyone knows Portland has long been the forgotten, misunderstood little brother of Seattle. It's perfectly natural that folks from that area feel a little bit stronger urge to defend their fair city. I would know. I was born there. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Jbolin Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 Here are some of the most picturesque tornado photos ever taken in the western PNW lowlands. First, the EF3 that struck Kent, WA in Dec 1969. 0b7fe283-8b02-461b-b381-8c7f4febf29b-130530_kent_tornado_lg.jpg Second, the EF-1 that hit Gig Harbor, WA in Jan 2015. 1ed37742-24f8-4257-ac46-25a0e68f83f0-141011_waterspout_main_01.jpg Third, the EF-2 in Aumsville, OR in Dec 2010. hqdefault.jpg And most recently, the EF-2 in Manzanita, OR in October of last fall. maxresdefault (1).jpgThe last picture is not Manzanita, OR, in fact it's not even from the west coast. Further proving this is the fact there is a land mass behind the tornado which is very "stove pipe" in nature, additionally the Manzanita, OR tornado came ashore just slightly north of town and just after sunrise. With that said I think it would be prudent to remove the last picture. ( In fact, here is the Mazanita, Or tornado ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy Supercell Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 FWIW... the 3KM NAM fires the convection mostly along the Cascades on Thursday evening and then shoves it eastward. It is going to initiate on the cascades but I believe there is a legit risk for lowland storms. It's said that the flow is southerly which in some events there are storms that form west of the cascades. We don't always need SE flow for that.

wx_statman Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 The drizzly, gloomy transition to this warm pattern, and then the very short lived nature of the warm airmass coming up, is interesting. Brought to mind the mid-May 2008 heatwave. I will never forget sitting under warm frontal drizzle with temps in the 50s then hitting mid-90s a few days later (with an unseasonably muggy airmass, as this one looks to be). This one obviously won't get as warm, but the spike and drop will be even more dramatic. We had an evening t-storm drop 0.93" in one hour @ PDX on 5/24/2008 as well. Was an all-time record at the time, though it's been exceeded since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy Supercell Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 We had an evening t-storm drop 0.93" in one hour @ PDX on 5/24/2008 as well. Was an all-time record at the time, though it's been exceeded since. Ah yes, I recall that to the detail. Storms came in from the east that day. Behind the initial storms there were more streaming in. NWS issued a Flood Advisory right after sunset. Earlier before the sun went down, from 6-8pm there had been 3 separate Severe Thunderstorm Warnings for 3 cells in Washington/Clackamas/Multnomah counties. Not an extremely widespread event but each cell gained merit for their strength. I remember an article indicating 1.50" hail fell at Multnomah Falls. 1 Quote Ashland, KY Weather '23-'24 Winter Snowfall - 5.50" First freeze: 11/1 (32) Minimum: 2 on 1/17 Measurable snows: 4 Max 1 day snow: 3" (1/19) Thunders: 21 1/27, 1/28, 2/10, 2/22, 2/27, 2/28, 3/5, 3/6, 3/14, 3/15 3/26, 3/30, 3/31, 4/2, 4/3, 4/8, 5/4, 5/5, 5/6, 5/7 5/8, Severe storms: 2 ------------------------------------------------------- [Klamath Falls, OR 2010 to 2021] https://imgur.com/SuGTijl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VancouverIslandSouth Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 FWIW... the 3KM NAM fires the convection mostly along the Cascades on Thursday evening and then shoves it eastward. It moves east pretty rapidly. It's a shame this doesn't have more of a negative tilt to it; we could still use the rain up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wx_statman Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 That picture nicely captures Mount Hood's crushing inferiority complex. It doesn't like being compared to Rainier. Nah, I'm sure Mt. Hood is still coasting on the fact that both St. Helens and Mazama blew their tops off. Anything to make it look taller... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 We had an evening t-storm drop 0.93" in one hour @ PDX on 5/24/2008 as well. Was an all-time record at the time, though it's been exceeded since.I remember that. We also had a similar heat wave in mid-August that year that crashed dramatically from close to 100 to 60 with heavy rain in a day or so. 2008 was a really fun year overall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wx_statman Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 A lot of people actually aren't even aware of the Charleston earthquake in 1886. Pretty remarkable event and one of the bigger seismic anomalies. That's one of the more interesting intraplate quakes. Along with New Madrid and Charlevoix (1663). Damaging quakes in areas not prepared for them, at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I should probably start with Dec 2007 through end of 2009. Nostalgia times infinity.

Probably the most dynamic year in the last couple decades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 That's one of the more interesting intraplate quakes. Along with New Madrid and Charlevoix (1663). Damaging quakes in areas not prepared for them, at all.The quake we had in 2011 taught me never to take anything for granted. That was only a 5.8 and it caused major issues. Some of these faults are very old and have remained dormant for relatively long periods of geologic time, often making them difficult to locate.
