TT-SEA Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 I would be a happy camper if the 18Z run verified entirely through 384 hours. The only bad day would be Memorial Day... but we would have had 2 very warm days over the weekend so that would fine. Then back to beautiful for another week. One can dream.

TT-SEA Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Thankfully this next round looks like it will absolutely soak the eastern half of King County. Just where its most needed. One of the few places consistently above normal for rain and snow for the last 7 months.

Jesse Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Still get Saturday and Sunday on the 18Z run. And then the system just disappears to the northeast quickly.It moved toward the Euro though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT-SEA Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 It moved toward the Euro though. It was actually less robust with the trough next Sunday. Here was the 12Z GFS: And the 18Z GFS... a little better up here.

Jesse Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Those are cherry picked frames. I reviewed both runs and the 12z GFS kept the trough much further offshore than the 18z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not trying to cherry pick though. I am specifically looking at each of the 3 weekend days on every run. I like the 18Z run a little better. Sunday stays warm... the 12Z showed it crashing early that day. I suspect this all a moot point... it will crash even faster than the models show now. Always does.

TT-SEA Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Rain is really blossoming to the south and its started rain here once again. After this moves through... the ECMWF shows the marine layer oozing back in and locking down until Monday afternoon with lots of drizzle during the day tomorrow. Obviously I want it to rain all week and next weekend too. That would make perfect sense. Very logical... must be evil to want something different.

TT-SEA Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Only 7 out of the first 18 days of May managed to get above 70 at SEA. 11 days in the 60s and only 2 days above 80. The nights have been warm... 14 out of 18 days with lows above 50. The average low today is still 48.

The fact that many places are running record warm/dry for the month to date speaks for itself.

ShawniganLake Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 High water from snowmelt doesn’t negate the huge negative precip anomalies the region is seeing this month. Maybe you aren’t trying to make that point but it seems like a handful of others have been.No I wasn’t going for that angle. Even the Thompson river was brown with mud, it’s crystal clear and beautiful during the summer. I saw somewhere the Fraser was forecast to crest at the highest level since ‘72. Mostly sunny and 70 up at our cabin. Seems kind of dry. Our seasonal “stream” is dry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmboy Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 First fatal cougar attack in Washingon state since 1924 near North Bend today. Saw that. I bought a can of bear mace for back-country excursions. Not sure why it wouldn't work on a big cat, that is, if you see it in time and it hasn't snuck up on you.... I remember hearing about a guy quite a long time ago hiking somewhere along the Elwha who was attacked by a cougar. He was a wrestler in high school and managed to get the cat in a choke hold. Can't quite remember how it ended, he obviously lived to tell about it... Quote "Avoiding unwanted weather is a key element of happiness." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Act like prey and they will treat you like prey. I have thought many times what I would do if I were to have a big cat run in while hiking...basically make as much noise and act as bat crazy as possible to scare it away. Wave my arms, roar, throw rocks etc. Of course that is all easy to say until you are in that situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 00Z GFS starts the crash on Friday afternoon... just in time for the holiday weekend. It will probably move up a little more like every one of these scenarios with a ULL approaching from the south. The models always dig them too deep and move them too slowly. They end up in the PNW like a magnet. A week of clouds... maybe 3 warm days... then back to cloudy and probably wet. Such an amazing month that is actually not so amazing.
