Very pretty day up at Lost Lake. There are still lots of snow drifts around, but most the camp sites are open.

Had a nice afternoon out at Steigerwald Lake wildlife refuge today.

Former weather forum buddy Andrew Mork who went to CWU in Ellensburg lives quite the life.

 

Always traveling... always partying... and just donated $25,000 to CWU.    He also posts lots of sunrise shots from high rise office in downtown Portland

80+ is far from a lock for PDX tomorrow, though. All depends on when clouds move in. NWS going with 78 right now.

 

Decent chance today was the warmest of the week for PDX, and tomorrow probably will be for OLM north.

True, but a super mild start to the day should help things jump up pretty quickly. Low 80s still feels rather safe.

57F for a high today and still drizzling/light rain here but it's winding down.

 

Tomorrow 76F with thunderstorms later afternoon/early evening and then 57F for a high and rain all day on Friday. Finally some interesting weather!!!  :)

He s a great guy and has a sweet office view. I was at the country festival last summer he was at and we re always at ducks games, but sadly haven't crossed paths yet. Still into weather, probably to busy to post on here!

Not much sun in the rain shadow today ironically; only hit a high of 62F and there has been a thick blanket of clouds/fog covering the area all day. Not much rain to show for it either; kind of the worst of both worlds. Hopefully we can score some convection tomorrow, I can't remember the last time we had a thunderstorm out here, must have been 2~3 years ago. The WRF gets pretty close before shifting it all east.

So, its official. Today was the 2nd latest "first 70" on record for PDX. Only later occurrence was on May 5, 1967.

So close! But probably middle of the pack for first 80-degree day?

 

I sure like the rest of 1967. :)

The old downtown Portland station did come close around this time of year a few times...low of 63 on 5/2/46. 64 on 5/10/31. But their first 65+ low isn't until 5/16/1895. And it was a 69.  :o

 

The new downtown station came very close in 1987 (low of 64 on 5/7), but the earliest 65+ isn't until 5/26.

 

So while it's highly improbable for any of the Portland stations to have a 65+ low tomorrow morning, it wouldn't be impossible if everything came together perfectly. Plus, UHI never hurts.

A forum for the end of the world.

No, remember, you don't have opinions. Opinions are for losers. ;)

I have plenty of them. I just don't my pants about other people's. You'll figure it out someday. I have faith you're not Tim.

The precip difference between your area and Bellingham over the past 3 weeks is pretty crazy.

 

Are you still perplexed about how rain shadows work?   Its like a wall that stops the rain.... the rain that is dumping on everyone else.   ;)
