Some great autumn color in the Indian Heaven wilderness today.

The snow in the mountains has been incredible for this early.    Here are some shots from Oregon Hikers (a hiking forum I visit) showing Indian Heaven this weekend. This is the same hike I posted pict

That was such a surreal experience that I will honestly never forget. Going to be tough to top that event even out here. The hassle we had to go through to get moved 2 days after the storm was totally

I don’t see the difference between gushing about what a gorgeous day this is and saying it’s a little too warm for my liking for this late. Both are expressing known opinions. The only difference is that most of the people logged on right now seem to agree with one and not the other.

It's the same as people talking about how awesome it is when it snows. Positivity just sells better than whining.

My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

I made a post about it feeling pretty freakishly warm for this late and the dogpile ensued. The whining about my whining has taken a lot longer to work through than the original observation. :)

A loose sequel to Joe vs. The Volcano. Hopefully it gets better reviews. Maybe they can write in the fact the ash cloud leads to another year without a summer. In Hollywood it can snow on the Fourth of July!!!

Up to 72 at PDX now. The warmer air aloft must be mixing down today, meaning we probably aren’t seeing a true gap wind.

 

Record to beat is 75 from 1944. Could be close.

Definitely mixed out better today than I thought it would. Even the Puget Sound appears to be making it out of the 40's in some locations.

 

Just goes to show how tenuous these setups are in this little transition window.

What a bunch of trash. Anyway, I think you have it in you to let a post about me saying today feels freakishly warm slide. Or maybe not. You can’t totally blame me when it mushrooms like this though. Speaking of which, Timmy should get over here and harvest!

I'm thinking the same thing, and probably should have thought about it this morning when I wasn't expecting 70. Much warmer column overhead today. 17.8c this morning vs 7.2c yesterday morning over SLE.

Yeah today’s upper airmass has trended impressively warm. Close to rivaling the crazy airmass on Tuesday, but with better mixing it seems.

Nope. October 26-28, 2003.

 

Also October 26-27, 1944.

 

October 20-26, 1965 had 7 straight above 73 (!) but we're now a day later in the calendar.

Looks like many of today’s records up this way are from 1944. Looks like we may be a little short most places, but there could be some close calls

1944 was an impressive late season event, for sure. Produced some localized 80's in favored downslope locations in western WA on this date. Also the latest 75 on record for PDX.

I'm disappointed in the NWS. The 00z, 12z, and now 18z GFS clearly show snow in the lowlands next Friday night and yet no mention in latest AFD? What is wrong with them???

 

They always play it so conservative.

 

FWIW, the latest MOS (based on the 12z GFS) keeps the cold in Montana. WA hardly gets cold. Bellingham at 51/40 next Friday.

How about a Winter Storm Watch at least??? They can wait for the afternoon package tomorrow to issue a warning.

Look at that beautiful L pulling the winds through the gorge.  Let's have this setup all winter where it slides down the coast like this.

      Polite Politics

      General Mattis certainly turned into an incredible disappointment. Yeah, she is overzealous, but it's interesting how the left and their media lapdogs employee extremely sexist tropes against her. Trump always was and always has been a mascot. He's an avatar for working class rage. Him calling out the elites is more than we've ever had anyone stand up for us before. We know he's just one man, but he's willing to sacrifice his own comfort for us. He's given up everything to stand up for the working class, he isn't one of us, he didn't have to do that, but he did. So do I think he is ridiculous, of course, but at the same time I have to recognize he's the only person willing to stand up and fight for people like me. Also I would add. The media is trying to scare us about how Trump would dismantle a number of federal agencies if he is elected. Sounds like draining the swamp to me. They say he has a plan to really do it this time, you believe every terrible thing you read or hear about Trump in the media, but you don't believe that?

      KOIN and KGW agree. KATU is going 91, then 90. What I'm seeing. While median 850s didn't change, too end 850s went up about a degree. Downslope the Euro is going with a 1023 high, to a 1016 low. WRF is doing a 1022 high to a 1014 low. HRRR is a 1025 high to a 1015 low. The Euro didn't change much over 2 days, while WRF and HRRR's gradient went up, without much change in 850s. Using a modified Temperature potential formula that would better (but not completly) account for this downsloping (aka changing variables in said formula), I come out with a 90 (rounded down) now; instead of 89 (rounded up) just using raw data. Knowing PDX will overperform (and downslope is superadiabatic), I'll jump my forecast to 91 Friday. 89-92 is probably range right now.
