Phil Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 Day 16. It'll change.Well, I kinda meant in general. The Bermuda High becomes an immovable object around the summer solstice every year. I bet next weekend's cold front is the last one we'll see until September. In which case, I'm probably going to be a d**k to everyone and get banned from this subforum before my trip out there in July.

Phil Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 The 12z EPS has a bunch of cooler than normal days this week for SEA/OLM and even several @ PDX. Looks like the ridge is centered far enough offshore to keep onshore flow going in the lower boundary layer on some of the days. There's a saturated marine inversion present on most of the EPS members on a number of the days.

Phil Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 The majority of the modeling has that 2-4 day warm stretch towards the end of the week, but the parent anticyclone is retrograding NW by that time, such that the warmth actually arises from a small notch in the ridge forced inland through the interaction with that funny-looking shortwave. IMO, there's a good chance the warm stretch ends up being shortened to maybe one or two days before the anticyclone retrogrades into the AK/Aleutian domain.

Phil Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 FWIW, the ECMWF had 68*F @ SEA today for the high, which will again be closer to reality than the GFS, which had 66*F. http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww243/phillywillie/Mobile%20Uploads/EF6D4324-906A-4E6A-A26F-B14BF68AA167_zpse8clng92.png http://i724.photobucket.com/albums/ww243/phillywillie/Mobile%20Uploads/8AEC8708-C41D-4059-93DA-885D72E6526C_zpstax1vwzl.png 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...
VancouverIslandSouth Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Plenty of light rain this morning. Currently 55F with heavy drizzle, feels like we're in a cloud.

It was not unfair, as you have done the same thing to illustrate similarities to analogs yourself. And 1993 was one of the main (if not the primary) analogs discussed over the past couple months.

I did (and do) believe it is one of the best global/tropical forcing analogs, hence the very strong similarities across the NH overall, including the strong early season NPAC jet. That's as far as I went in isolating 1993. I don't like being misquoted. In the future, please be more careful when attributing quotes/statements to me. That's all I'm asking.

TT-SEA Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Ended up on the boat this evening with the kids... absolutely gorgeous. Sky cleared off perfectly and temp jumped to 75 at Lake Sammamish... also felt nice thanks to a higher dewpoint. Glad we were able to salvage part of the day. The lake was glass.

Very simple. The pattern we've seen across the U.S. in June has been very different than 1993, doesn't mean it makes it useless as an analog, just means that so far it hasn't worked out well for this part of the world. There were definitely quite a few similarities this spring to 1993, in terms of the pattern in the U.S., and those were discussed quite a bit. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

I only referenced the June jet extension and blocking in May as analogous in regards to the larger scale system state progression. When I conveyed this to you, instead of acknowledging it and moving on, you challenged me and claimed I was using 1993 as a top analog for US temperatures, which is absurd. That's why I'm ticked off. Stop building strawmen. There were definitely quite a few similarities this spring to 1993, in terms of the pattern in the U.S., and those were discussed quite a bit.Sure, but that's besides the point in regards to this month.
