June Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[Deweydog]

PDX rocked the 50's today just like Sacramento.

Big League downpour in progress. I do have to admit the roar of this burst of heavy rain hitting the trees all around my house is pretty dang cool! And finally having a covered deck to enjoy it makes it even better!

[TT-SEA]

Weak sauce. Even over the PNW heights have been near normal. The main troughing was further north and offshore. Certainly hasn't been full-scale western troughing like we're currently seeing.

By time the 3 week period is over it will be a clear western trough signal.

And nice day in June for the T-storm lovers

0.06 in the rain gauge today....heavy showers managed navigate around me again.

I’m in need of some active downpours with lighning or heavy wind.

 

I need to move to the tropics to get my fix

I'm liking what the 18z does with the cut off low, it seems to really take a back seat on this run. Hopefully tonight's runs improve on that..

It trended towards the EURO and then brings insane heat just in time for the summer solstice. Upper 90s for PDX like the EURO on the 18th and 19th and then temperatures explode into the 100s on the 20th and 21st. Up there in SEA, looks like 90s on the 19th and 20th and then triple digits for the summer solstice like PDX. The models are starting to zero in on this heat wave and gaining confidence. Big runs ahead!

More like the circulatory system, is Jesse the liver?

Yes. I try my best to filter out Tim’s toxins.

I think our phase just got colder.

[Jesse]

Moderate rain in Pacific City. I love seeing the coast like this.

Pretty good chance that today is the coldest day until early November.

Great point.

[TT-SEA]

That would be simply awesome.    

[BLI snowman]

That would be simply awesome.

Also looks like the 21st will be the hottest day of the year. Highest sun angles and the 252 hour 18z says so. Descent into winter begins at 268.

[Deweydog]

100 degrees on my birthday according to the 18z!

[El Nina]

100 degrees on my birthday according to the 18z!

Bad luck!

100 degrees on my birthday according to the 18z!

Have a pool party!

55 degrees for a high in Battle Ground.  Ties for my coldest June high in the last 8 years of record here.  The other 55 was on June 8th in 2012.

[ShawniganLake]

High of 60 here with only 0.01” of rain. A 3 day total of 0.23”. Much drier than expected.

That’s an obvious -PNA/western trough. Ironically the period from 5/28 to 6/5 was more -PNA than the period from 6/6 to 6/10 since the latter was a jet extension bumped by the residual wave dispersion regime.

[VancouverIslandSouth]

High of 60 here with only 0.01” of rain. A 3 day total of 0.23”. Much drier than expected.

 

Same here. Pretty pathetic convection in this area, I was hoping we could get some NW flow down the island like the early May event. 

[Phil]

I wonder if you will finally now get credit for the troughy pattern you predicted perfectly well over a month ago?

Funny how it only took Flatiron 3 minutes to respond to this.

 

FWIW, it takes longer than 5 minutes to create one of those NOAA 500mb maps, run it through an image hoster, copy/paste the IMG code, and write a post about it. So he probably had already pre-made the image in anticipation of you or someone else mentioning me and/or my forecast. #obsessed

[TigerWoodsLibido]

0.4 inches of rain here today and still coming down. Juneuary day for sure.  Grass is happy.

[Front Ranger]

With all the sunshine, SEA managed a high of 62. No sub-60 highs there since April, pretty remarkable.

My first response didn't have the map, silly. It is what it is...weak troughing mainly to the north and offshore of the western U.S. until the past few days.

 

I already gave you credit for your call on the timing of the weak troughing period. What are you looking for?

I’m just trolling you, brother. Not asking for anything.

 

Though I’m legitimately impressed that you were able to create the image, run it through an image hoster, find/copy/paste the image code, and write a post about said image in just 5 minutes. There’s no way I’d be able to pull off a feat like that. #supersleuth

SEA is the new Roseburg.

I just saved it and uploaded it to the post.

The 00Z GFS is back to a lingering ULL solution but it looks a little warmer starting Friday.  

 

I wonder if the ULL lingering to the south opens the door to some downsloping?

[MossMan]

48! Brrrr!

Well a torchfest could be coming soon, but rest assured Christmas 2017 is alive and well in my freezer!

Wait, is this for real?

[Deweydog]

I saved an inch-thick perfect ice impression of my front license plate in 2004 for several months.

Awesome!

[Deweydog]

Retrogression!

[Jesse]

Awesome!

Are you planning to save a ziplock bag of your sweat from the upcoming heat event?

[MossMan]

Wait, is this for real?

Sure is! My daughter made the snowball and we put it in the freezer on Christmas morning.
