Phil Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Last summer was not hot at all. Just slightly above average locally and cooler than normal for the region.Last J/A/S was actually colder than 2011 @ 850mb. For whatever reason it didn't efficiently translate to the surface. 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...
seattleweatherguy Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Last summer was not hot at all. Just slightly above average locally and cooler than normal for the region.I guess my perception is wrong due to the fact we went through some hot streches that evened out with cool ones. Didn't we get in the 90s a few days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Ranger Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Last summer was not hot at all. Just slightly above average locally and cooler than normal for the region. JJA was not cooler than normal for the region overall. More above normal areas, actually. I can't make the same map for June-September, but if I could it would be right around average overall.

wx_statman Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Last J/A/S was actually colder than 2011 @ 850mb. For whatever reason it didn't efficiently translate to the surface. It's a little misleading to use JAS here, as 2011 turned hot after 8/15. September was one of the warmest on record regionally. That summer is remembered for being regionally cool prior to mid-August, so referencing JJA would have been more relevant here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAS 2011 was still warmer at 850mb compared to JAS 2016, yet 2016 finished warmer at the surface, for whatever reason. Yeah, I don't know. It might have been a few patterns that drove the discrepancy. For example, Sep. 2011 had a ridiculously long-lasting heat ridge, but PDX stayed between 87-93 the entire time. There were forecasts for 98-100 that never materialized. On the flip side, Aug. 2016 was able to maximize downslope flow on a few days to really squeeze out high surface readings. A few patterns like that can definitely swing the anomalies on the monthly scale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbrChris Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Three days 90+ over the long weekend seems pretty bullish. Especially considering a relatively small clout of ensemble members are advertising such a possibility, at least in the last few runs. But who knows, I guess.You mean the ensemble mean? Both suggestive of 90-93 (~20c H8 temps). Might end up 2 days...we'll see. Quote The Pacific Northwest: Where storms go to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 The 00Z ECMWF and its control run and the EPS took a turn for drier and warmer later next week. Not that it matters... but I would not mind a day or two of rain by that point. 00Z ECMWF surface maps show a little rain still on Thursday but its not much and it disappears quickly.

Timmy Supercell Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Didn't we debate all last summer? I thought I was proven wrong and warmth was just a local phenomenon around the Puget Sound area. It was not a hot summer for sure. J/A/S Mean in K-Falls is only +0.9. Pretty much normal. July by itself was actually -1.1. The only 2 warm months here last year were April and November. Edit: My bad, -0.4 was J/A/S here. J/J/A period was +0.9. So it was actually cooler than I thought.
