VancouverIslandSouth Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Live view from Vancouver BC... Still not too bad on the Island yet, but the sun light does have a red haze color. We're just on the edge of it, it's visible in the distance on the Rathtrevor beach cam: http://webcam.beachacresresort.com/webcam/current.jpg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Pretty cool satellite picture of both the smoke in BC and the algae bloom in the Hood Canal. Gross to both of those. When was that taken?

TT-SEA Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Air quality camera on Mt Rainier still shows good visibility... I bet this looks different tomorrow though.

Front Ranger Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Departures in the western lowlands generally ended up between +.5 and +1.5, slightly cooler anomalies than June. Overall, the first two months of the JJAS summer season have been warm for the PNW, but nothing extreme like 2015. Very similar to 2013, as has been mentioned. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Phil Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 More like -0.5 to +1.0. Assuming the provisional data is accurate and doesn't change after homogenization.

BLI, SEA, Seattle WFO, OLM, PDX, and EUG all fell in the range I gave (SEA was actually slightly above at +1.6, but we know they have issues). SLE was even warmer, but they seem screwed up lately.

Can't have it both ways.

Can't have it both ways. You said up to +1, when several of the primary I-5 stations I cited were warmer than that. The map does not disagree with that. Overall, it was a warmer than normal month for the PNW, no doubt about it. Not as warm as June, though. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Overall, it was a warmer than normal month for the PNW, no doubt about it. Not as warm as June, though.Nope. I said "generally" up to +1, using the data you cited. It was essentially a normal month on the west side. Still thinking September is cooler than average?

Still thinking September is cooler than average?Every single major I-5 station from Medford to Bellingham was above normal, with most in the +.5 to +1.5 range, and some warmer. Silly to dismiss that. I like .5 to -1 for most places in September. Cooler than the rest of the summer for the PNW overall. Quote A forum for the end of the world.

Very similar to 2013, as has been mentioned. 60dTDeptWRCC-NW.png2/3rds of the PNW have been generally 2-4F above average for most of the summer. Nothing extreme but definitely a warm summer. A somewhat near average bubble on the west side does not contstitute a "near average" first 60 days for summer for the PNW.

Phil Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Seems pretty likely that we will soon be getting into a smoky situation on this side of the mountains with the onshore flow cutting off. It does not take much to limit heating.Good call.
