June Weather in the Pacific Northwest

GFS MOS shows SEA averaging right at climo for the highs over the next 7 days.

 

We are just excited for the potential for more sun up here... a small taste of what you people take for granted down there every single day.

You talk about hyperbole being met with hyperbole and then post stuff like this. It's very hypocritical.

Of course!

 

But I actually do feel that way right now.    The difference has really been striking lately.

00z shows a high of 106 for PDX on the fourth.

Yay!

Right, and it will turn sunny up there soon enough. Unusual to have that kind of gradient between the Puget Sound and Portland for so many days in a row but it doesn't take a big ridge to get sunny weather in Seattle during July. 

 

It's too bad things are so dry down here already, looks typical of the end of July rather than the end of June. Hoping we avoid another bad fire season.

Arctic ice volume still doing much better than recent years.

 

Highest since at least 2014. Technically a bit higher with the extra ice in the Hudson/Baffin Bays.

You feel that we should be feeling a certain way based on what you're experiencing? Hmmmm

Yeah... I would be really wanting rain if I lived down there.

Five consecutive blowtorch summers isn’t enough for him, apparently.

 

This is just an average summer. Imagine how crazy this place will be when the next *legitimately* cool summer comes along. It’s probably not far off, either.

[Geos]

Only 62 today. No sun to be seen.

You said 2016 was cool... many times!

 

A cool summer does not have to be real cloudy either.

 

I really just want some sun.

I heard it here first!

Maybe schedule another trip to Charleston?

 

And JJA wasn’t cool in 2016. JAS was cool, but only outside those stupid UHI bubbles.

4th looks nice on the 00Z ECMWF... the cooler temps south of Portland are associated with thicker mid and high level clouds.

 

 

[TT-SEA]

That elongated ULL offshore is farther away on the 00Z ECMWF.   Its been moving a little farther west with each run. 

 

[Deweydog]

That thing is just a ridiculous beast.

Perfection!!

[TT-SEA]

Highs on Thursday per the 00Z ECMWF reflects the ULL being a little farther west...

 

[TT-SEA]

4 of the last 5 years... the 4th of July has been below 80 at SEA.

 

We might finally add another one above 80!

Did you cancel your reservations on the east side?

Waiting until Monday. After seeing the 12Z GFS... I was sure we were going. That was only 14 hours ago.

[TT-SEA]

A quick moving front on the 00Z ECMWF brings rain to WA on Saturday morning with the southward extent just about the WA-OR border.    They can't buy a rain drop down there.

 

Its turning sunny again by afternoon though.   Back to beautiful on Sunday for everyone.
