PSA:
The NWS always appreciates observations, especially detailed observations that everyone on here is capable of giving. That can be done thru Twitter, as they often set up a feed for that, or the mPing app. That can include final snowfall amounts, when the snow starts/stops, precip type, dew point, etc
This helps them with short term forecasts as well as future forecasts as they can learn from them. A few years ago they had a freezing rain advisory for Leavenworth, but I notified
The point was you say "we" saw a record hot May in 2023, but it was far from the whole metro - just PDX. Some months have been legit record hot across the whole area, but that wasn't one of them.
Obviously it was very hot and warm, but the whole record month thing doesn't hold as much weight when it's a station seeing 50% more of them than other places.
ECMWF showed decent sun breaks for the Seattle area for today for many runs. The high temps over the weekend and into early next week indicate sun breaks won't be nearly as prevalent. Pretty hard for SEA to only get to 51 with sun breaks like today.
We usually get a lot of sunbreaks in troughy periods this time of year. Pretty rare to get stronger than forecasted rainbreaks when we have a big ridge overhead though.
