TT-SEA Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Go take a walk or something. I just don't get how the weather here can stress you out so bad when you are gone. It was the same deal in Hawaii. I am not stressed at all. Sounds like it high stress there though trying to get through this heat.

But this year had some impressive warmth in January and March as well. It has been coming back with some regularity. I feel pretty good about summer. And that does NOT mean I think a hot summer is in the cards. I don't think that at all.

Phil Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Side note... the recurrence of warm weather since January has me encouraged for the summer. Years like 2010 and 2011 did not have that at all.Tell that to January 2017. Also, a good portion of January 2011 was ridgy out there, IIRC.

Frontal Snowsquall Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Portland, Troutdale, Vancouver, Hillsboro and McMinnville all set record highs today. We have to go back almost 100 years when MMV hit 83 in 1923 for the previous record. Pretty impressive it took this long to break it. https://nwschat.weather.gov/p.php?pid=201804260221-KPQR-SXUS76-RERPQR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deweydog Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Yeah, I thought about doing some research earlier to see how often it had happened. Then I realized you only had to go back to 2016 for four straight 80s in April. That might have been the most impressive April heatwave on record for PDX, though.Looks like 1998 was the only other candidate until 2016. Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

wx_statman Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 If it wasn't for 2016, today's 84 at PDX would have tied the warmest pre-4/26 max on record. 84 on 4/14/194784 on 4/20/195684 on 4/25/2018 Of course April 2016 blew away our PDX-era climatology by hitting 85 on the 7th, 87 on the 18th, and 89 on the 19th.

Frontal Snowsquall Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 New blog post from Mark regarding the final day of our record breaking heat wave. "It sure felt like July today! Here in Portland we started in the 50s and ended well into the 80s; a typical mid-summer day. Except that it’s the 25th of April. The result was several more record high temperatures, mainly in the metro area: And we did that with extremely weak offshore flow. Even in the Gorge the wind died down to a slight breeze plus downslope wind off the Cascades disappeared. So it’s quite impressive from a meteorological standpoint we were able to make it into the mid 80s. Models absolutely nailed the atmosphere overhead. 850mb temps at Salem were 16.6 degrees on this afternoon’s balloon sounding. WHAT HAPPENS THURSDAY? A very interesting setup with the thermal trough (warmest air) sitting from about Kelso to just east of Salem and Eugene. That means west of that line onshore flow kicks in during the afternoon = cooler. But from Kelso/Longview to the Portland metro area we get a light easterly flow once again as high pressure briefly strengthens east of the Cascades. Result? All models are adding 2-4 degrees to our highs tomorrow. 85-86 is likely throughout the Portland metro area. You can see the bubble of warmer temperatures from Portland north on the GFS and the cooler temps to our south. This is the 5pm Thursday forecast:" https://fox12weather.wordpress.com/2018/04/25/another-record-breaker-slightly-warmer-tomorrow/ IMO it's all going to depend on if clouds arrive before peak heating tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow the hottest 850mb temperatures yet of this heat wave is suppose to arrive tomorrow afternoon. If clouds can hold off until after 5pm then I think PDX has a chance of tying the all time record high of April which is 90. Everything has to go right but it's possible with the 850mb temps we will be getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
