April Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[TT-SEA]

Might be a breezy, partly sunny and mild morning tomorrow.  

 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

 

Sure.    The dewpoint was in the low 50s.  

 

Nobody complains about sneaking in a 70-degree day in April.     It was warmer here in early March... and just about the same in the middle of January.  

 

Half our office left early today for no other reason than to get out and enjoy the day,   

 

You work with a bunch SoCal transplants. I work with native Oregonians. 

 

I hear things like this throughout the year at my office.

 

"I sure hope it snows."

"This summer has been to hot."

"I can't wait for fall!"

"We need some rain."

"I miss the rain."

"I enjoy the sunshine, but if it could stay below 85 I would be happy."

 

No joke dude. Get out more.

Check out those demonic convective bands.

Most of the people in our office are native PNWers.   

 

There are no Californians.   We do have 3 people from MN and one from ND though.    My boss says he loves the Midwest work ethic.   

 

I would love to visit an office around here where "everyone" was complaining about one pleasant day in April between rainstorms.    That is one sad bunch.    My co-workers were like giddy kids today wanting to be outside.    

[MossMan]

Everyone I was around today was raving about how great of a day it was! Absolutely perfect April day!

Maybe since I'm the boss I hire people who like cold and rain?

Hi Tim!

[Kayla]

Had a high of 27F here today with snow and a brisk easterly wind.

 

It was pretty perfect yet our patio doors remained shut.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I think there will be a tornado somewhere north of Eugene within the next 24 hours.

[TT-SEA]

Of course. It's virtually universal. It's human nature.

 

My facebook feed is full of angry friends and family in MN dying for it to warm up there.

 

Andrew is trolling.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Just noticed the 18z GFS shows some snow here later in the week. What a fun roller coaster we are on!

[Phil]

Kind of off-topic but here's some pretty cool pics from Mount Shinmoedake in Japan.

Sweet.

 

Sinabung also went off today (again) as well.

 

[GHweatherChris]

Tim has a brother from another mother!

 

It's weather, no reason to be so emotional or attached to that which we cannot control, what we can control is loving those around us and making the best out of which is presented to us at all times no matter what it is.

 

If making sure to key in on what other people you do not even know are saying just to use it on a forum on the line to defend yourself and ideals is weird, and that's saying it nicely.

Andrew is trolling and I am playing along and stating the obvious. It's our endless dance. I am very blessed... you seem to be as well.

Hi Tim!

Hi Andrew! How many kids do you have again? We just recently confirmed that a second is on the way. Guess the timing worked out for moving into a bigger house! 2018 is featuring a few exciting changes!

Congratulations Randy!    Very cool.

Congrats brother!

I was actually telling my brother the same thing this evening...only I predicted it will be between Salem and Portland

[ShawniganLake]

Low clouds and fog here today and mid 50s. The only comment I heard from anyone in regards to the weather the past few days was “miserable”.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

That is cool! Congrats! I have 4 daughters. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I have to say. It is a beautiful evening out there right now! Mid-50s with the frogs croaking and the dogs barking. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Maybe some snow on April 15th.

 

[WeatherArchive]

I don't know what it is, but I've been overheating all day. I guess my body isn't acclimated to decent weather yet. Wasn't expecting such a warm one. 68 felt like 78 and I was overdressed and sweaty. Oh well, still loved it.

have it for a few days to a week then it will feel good as we get adjusted but as long as we are on a roller coaster ride like AeroSmith's Rock n Roller Coaster we will never get to that point and just be miserable when it does get warm that odd day.   3............2............1.............GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

The inside of my house right now is 2 degrees warmer than the high temp today.   We have spent lots of time in the house over the last 6 months.   We sleep in here as well.  I am not sweating right now and don't normally sweat inside my house.  I am very comfortable.  It seems that this is a good temperature for the human body.   I am 100% acclimated to 70-degree weather.  I can handle it when it comes again!

61-degree evening here with a chorus of frogs out there.

Frogs are going nuts here tonight as well!

[Front Ranger]

Frogs are going nuts here tonight as well!

Expressing their discomfort, no doubt.

[Jesse]

According to PRISM, the average July high is 74*F in North Bend. Maybe it’s 78*F on your deck in the Sun?

 

 

In fact, you guys are the only “green” part of the map in the country that is near sea level, except for Maine. Little slice of heaven.

 

 

These prism maps are often very reliable. Thank you for bringing some reality to this discussion.

53 here. Calm before the storm. Good sleeping weather.

[Dave]

Someone on this forum will always figure out a way to ***** about the weather, no matter the conditions.  This is just how it is. 

 

It is quite pleasant out at the moment. 64 degrees and cloudy. Rain looks to arrive in a few hours though, unfortunately.

They are very reliable. As are their precip maps.

No joke dude. Get out more.

It’s funny, I’ve worked with many people who have the same sentiment. Very common opinions among PNWers.

Are you jealous of the pleasant summer average up here?

 

Of course the UHI is slowly nudging that upward.

 

Looks like everywhere from Olympia to almost Everett and out to the Cascades is in the same zone.

Most PNWers complain and are miserable when we get one nice day in the upper 60s in April between rainstorms?

 

OK.

Not specifically about today. Just comments like that in general are way more common than you might want to believe.

 

Today was great though. We were down at Cottonwood beach near Washougal most of the afternoon. It definitely feels a little warm in the house tonight, though. Our thermostat was set at 68 but the indoor temperature rose to about 74 since it was so warm outside.

Today was beautiful.

 

I don't think above 85 is ideal either... I prefer 75-82 and sunny in the summer. Although we definitely make the best of the hot days.

 

And many people enjoy snow in the winter.   Me included!

74 sounds like a much more reasonable average high for your area than 78.

 

Down here the average high peaks at 81-82.

A little longer lasting ridging on the 00Z GFS in the long range.

The middle of the country stays cold for the most part with one quick shot of warmth just to toy with them.
