Phil Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Historically speaking, these Plains death ridges don’t morph into west coast ridges. They rely on completely different forcings/boundary conditions, which actually oppose one another. It would require highly coincidental timing between changes peripheral forcings for such a progression to occur. It’s not impossible, though. Often times, the GFS/GEFS succumbs to its excessive parameterization schemes, especially after truncation. In a neutral setting of extrapolation, the GFS/GEFS will almost always build western ridging during the warm season. It’s a heat/moisture/terrain feedback that other long range models, like the EPS weekly extrapolations. also tend to suffer from.I think a more likely outcome, when looking for a return to western ridging, is a weakening of the Plains/4-corners death ridge in conjunction with rising heights across the far NW-Pacific and troughing south of the Aleutians. Until the pattern upstream changes, it will be difficult to maintain any kind of western ridging.

TT-SEA Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 12Z GFS is actually the best solution for the 4th... the WRF shows almost totally sunny skies that day with highs in the mid to upper 70s. I would much rather have the ECMWF in my court over the GFS though.

TT-SEA Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Very possible he won't be able to outrun this one. Seem unlikely... even if there is a band of rain rotating through eastern WA it would still be warm and go back to sunny much more quickly. That is what the ECMWF shows.

Phil Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 The average high on July 4th across the PNW lowlands is in the lower 70s. So the model solutions, as they stand now, would actually be typical summer weather. The last five years were just a fluky aberration.

Phil Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 And the average high for today (June 27) is just barely over 70 degrees in the Seattle area. So many on here seem to think 70 degree highs are abnormally cold. Lol. The last five years have spoiled the heat misers into complacency.

Mid-upper 70's for Clark county (Vancouver metro) & PDX metro, upper 70's to near 80 for Willamette valley.... And looks like mid- upper 60's to near 70 for coastal areas.

In an area such as this where they're in short supply, every degree of warmth matters....

So the model solutions, as they stand now, would actually be typical summer weather. The last five years were just a fluky aberration. High on the 4th at SEA in 2016 was 69. Also... 71 in 2013 and 75 in 2014 and 78 in 2017 We are well aware of climo. Its not like its been in the 90s every year on the 4th. 2015 was the exception. If you average the 4th of July in 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017... it comes to 73.25 at SEA. In other words... 4 of the last 5 years have averaged almost exactly normal on that day. Not a fluky aberration.

We also have many days with highs in the 60s like today (and likely for the next several days). So the law averages says 80s are also common to arrive at an average in the 70s. Just math. Your trolling is becoming less intelligent lately.
