BLI snowman Posted July 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 2009/1981/1967 redux? I'm pretty sure if PDX hits 108, there will be a 70+ low in there. In 1981 they scored a 107/61 day with no lows above 67, but that was pre-modern UHI. 2009, of course, tied the all-time record warm low from 1941 with 74. I wouldn't be surprised if we see somewhat decent overnight recoveries, at least this week. Air looks pretty dry. Might not see any 65+ dewpoints this go around.

wx_statman Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Here the 12Z ECMWF output for PDX... It's crazy seeing this so soon after 2015 (and 2009 for that matter). It will be interesting to see if we'll be able to string together more than 10 days at 90+ this time around. We had convective blowoff ruin what would have been a 12 day streak back in 2015. High of 85 on 6/28 with 21-23C @ 850mb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me too much to see the models cool off the back end of this stretch a little once the dust settles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuffradio Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 There used to be forest fires much more frequently in the BC Cariboo region. The fact that there hasn't been forest fires in decades has lead to really dense forests and much more fuel for large forest fires.

I know that in areas where grass and brush fires are common... a wet winter and spring can make the fire season more combustible. I am not sure if that is the case on the east side of the mountains in BC, but this was always mentioned down in SoCal when we lived there.

TT-SEA Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 I've been back in there many times since moving here a year ago. Fabulous place to go hiking. I guess that road was recently paved. Its an awesome road now that goes on for miles back into the mountain valley. The funny thing is that you have to go through a really old section of road first... then it opens up into this sparkling new road. My boys have gone to Valley Camp several times with Boy Scouts... which is right before you start on the new road.

There is also lots of evidence that the natives would purposefully set small intensity fires on an almost yearly basis, in certain areas. This was both to promote the growth of specific plants (such as huckleberries) and draw out game. Mill Plain, Fourth Plain and Fifth Plain in the Vancouver area all are named after historic, large fire-managed clearings of this type.
