May Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[Front Ranger]

That's a little extreme..

 

That was his point. No matter what your preferences, it can be too hot, too cloudy, too whatever.

[MossMan]

Pleasant day.

[TT-SEA]

Pleasant day.

 

Drizzle finally stopped!  

 

Even some peaks of sun now and then... but satellite shows lots of low clouds still pouring in from the north.   It will probably clear up right around sunset.

ok Sherlock, thanks for clearing that up for me.

 

Quite a big difference in terms of extremities between Neah Bay and Death Valley...

[Front Ranger]

Your sunny disposition matches your love of sunshine quite well.

 

Not his fault. If he lived in a sunnier place, he'd be a much happier person.

[El Nina]

No, just pining and yearning for nothing but troughing or any kind of weather that blocks the effects of the sun...

You're becoming increasingly ridiculous ☺

Hillsboro is the new PDX.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Monday now looks like it will be as hot or possibly even hotter than Sunday. Upper 80s at the very least both days for PDX.

New parking lot at Intel?

Mark Nelsen is going around tweaking one sensor a month until he receives $1,000,000 in unmarked forks delivered via an offshore account.

He's been witnessed in the past placing flaming bags in front of area thermometers

Wonder if anyone has ever forked his yard...

I wish! This morning’s 39 would have been downright titilating.

[MossMan]

Lovely evening!

Ahead of a spectacular weekend!

All that whining in April is paying off nicely!

Probably going to be paying for this later as well.  

[Jesse]

Might as well get a head start and start pre-emptively whining right now. I think Farmboy has already got the right idea.

I just posted this in the Mid May 2018 Heat Wave Contest thread.

 

My final submission. I'm going for 90 on both Sunday and Monday for PDX.

 

SEA:

 

74/51

81/55

83/58

77/56

 

PDX:

 

81/51

90/55

90/59

80/57

12Z ECMWF showed a peak of 83 at PDX on Sunday and Monday.     I doubt it reaches 90 there.

The EURO for a while now has really had lower highs than what PDX actually gets. In the late April heat wave it's highs for those days were way off in the low range.

00Z GFS was a pretty warm run.

Going to make a few members of this forum sweat.

The biggest reason I hate torching this time of year is it kills a lot of stalked trout they put into ponds that require rain to keep from going dry. These little ponds close to the willamette Valley populations are what inspire a lot of people to go out and buy fishing licenses. The money from that goes to conservation efforts and wildlife management. When these fish die, people see that and get discouraged from the activity thus less money gets pumped into the wildlife efforts.

I agree...but now Tim will probably be referencing and making fun of this post for months.

He can make fun of it all he wants. Truth is, less and less people are buying licenses and tags so it's hurting conservation and management a lot. Having much warmer than normal water and lower streamflows are only making it worse.

A couple of warm days in late spring will not destroy the fish population. In fact it will most likely boost the fishing license numbers and help to pump more money into the wildlife efforts.

It's been so consistently dry and warm in Portland that it could be a record warm month. It's unfortunately not just a couple days.

Too bad you guys didn’t have record rainfall amounts like we have had up here.

[El Nina]

We could use some of that. The past 4-5 years have been ridiculously warm and not wet when we really need it, like this time of year. Every year it has dried out in either April or May and when it happens that early it could have rained 100 inches in the winter and it wouldn't have mattered come summertime.

[Jesse]

You guys haven’t had record rainfall up there this spring. April wasn’t record setting and turned warm and dry the last third of the month. March was drier than average. And now May is starting way warmer and drier than average.

It’s been extremely wet and not warm at all here. Sorry Jesse.

The fact that you would say this about a warmer and drier than normal spring pretty much says it all. Sorry Randy.

Okay king weather master of the universe. You know all when it comes to the weather of northern Snohomish County. Got it!!

[Jesse]

Nice day at Hurricane Ridge.

This is why you want me to cheer for crappy weather here? I am not worried about Oregon fishing licenses. Sorry.

 

It's been very wet in my area compared to normal and the snow pack is awesome. The rivers are absolutely roaring. And we have 3 months before we are turning towards the fall rainy season in the central and northern Cascades.

 

I never worry about it being too dry here. It's been the wettest 4 years in our history up here.

 

So... I am glad you care about Oregon fishing licenses. That's great. But I want it to be nice now. Like most everyone else living out here in the Snoqualmie Valley. Its our short window to reap the rewards of 9 months of rain.

 

Why would I worry about Oregon fishing licenses?

The days start getting shorter in 5 weeks.

Exactly.

 

Not going to worry about it being too warm and dry right now.
