wx_statman Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Pleasant evening on the trail at Mt. Talbert. Clean air and low 80s. Never would guess that we're only two days removed from a 105 degree smokehouse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dairyd Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 What it is modeling is that TS Nagale is pulling the broad pacific high back west far enough to open the door slightly for an aluetian low to sneak down some energy here. But that will require some breakdown in the western ridge to cooperate. I don't know if there will be enough energy to do that as witnessed by the last low that tried to break down the ridge 2 weeks ago and failed.

Jesse Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Some rain and cooler, active weather would be nice, but I wouldn't hold my breath. It's been years since we've seen a legitimately active pattern start this early. In reality it will probably be a situation where most of the energy ends up digging offshore and we are left in a slightly cooler, but more humid pattern with spotty rain chances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wx_statman Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Marine layer made it all the way to the metro area this morning. Two days ago, the GFS was spitting out 22-23C for today and the NWS was talking about possible upper 90's and issuing a heat advisory. 17.8C this morning over SLE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wx_statman Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 FWIW, this past heat wave verified at 26.2C over SLE on the afternoon of 8/3. Higher than either July 2009 or August 1981, but lower than either July 2006 or August 1977 (both of which hit 27.0C over SLE). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the onshore flow has been more stubborn than anticipated. I'm not complaining. Will be interesting to see if we can skate through today with another sub-90 high. We are running about the same as yesterday at the moment, although there are a few more clouds around and smoke seems to be coming back into the picture as well.

Jesse Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 The transition from hour 192 to 216 on the 12Z Euro looks pretty wonky. Seems like the GFS has been slightly more consistent in its handling of the pattern. It has surprisingly outperformed the Euro in the mid-range a handful of times this summer.

Is it still taboo to hope for some rain? I was worried something like this could happen this summer with the way things dried out so early. Even you have to admit things are way to dry now and we could use a good swath of rainy weather to get things under control. The forests are incredibly volatile now, even right to the coast.

I would like a good soaking rain every week in summer.

Timmy Supercell Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Thunderstorms in progress, thunder every 15 seconds. I had a brief downpour about 4:35 ish. Now storms a little to my SW with some close booms from 3-5 miles out. A few sound closer. I like the smell of rain too. The smoke got worse today so it's nice! This should make my 6th storm day for the year.
