June Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[Phil]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuude.

 

You are making sh*t up now to vent your own frustrations with your own weather based on your own preferences.

 

I understand that. I get very annoyed too when its not pleasant to be outside for long stretches based on my own preferences.

 

But nobody on here complains about 75-degree sunshine and low humidity. Hell... I was saying that last weekend was fairly decent with highs in the low 60s and alternating sun and downpours.

 

You are just ranting about nothing because you want to rant.

I’m referring mostly to Farmboy/Heatsquall openly rooting for heatwaves. You don’t do that directly but I know you would prefer 110*F to 65*F. You just don’t say it publicly.

 

And yes, of course I’m venting. It does drive me nuts when I open up the NWS forecast for Everett and see beautiful mid-70s highs forecasted everyday out to oblivion, and then I come here and you guys are b*tching because it’s not 95*F with wildfires all over the place.

 

Gaaaaah.

[Farmboy]

OT, but I found out I have a big retaining wall job on Monday..and low and behold, the HiRes ECMWF has a high of 99*F that day with a dewpoint of 78*F. With near maximum solar angles.

 

Bloody motherf**ker. I’ll lose my s**t if anyone complains about 75*F highs on here again.

Rent a flood light, do the work overnight...

Gaaaaah.

 

 

For the record... I would choose 65 over 110 every single time.

 

And Everett is always much cooler in warm patterns.   I have no complaints about this though...

 

[Geos]

Made it into the 40s again this morning. 47.

 

Looking like low 90s by Wednesday.

 

 

Then a few degrees cooler for Thursday.

 

 

Friday looks like the marine push comes in.

Says the guy who will cancel a camping trip if daytime highs looks to be below 85.

[TT-SEA]

And some people cheer for heat waves because its something different and we know it will not last long.    

 

We don't live in DC.

Lots of intentional straw man trolling today!  

 

Making up weather preferences for other members and ranting against what you just made up.

 

Everyone here does it.

Yes, you do it constantly.

 

And that is from an actual discussion in reference to Memorial Day weekend.

That looks pretty perfect. I don’t like how warm the Euro was though.

[Front Ranger]

Sure... above average and dry overall since mid April.    Although SEA is running colder than normal for June at the half-way point. 

 

Yep, a brief 2 week stretch of minor troughing in a sea of dry warmth. Unless things shift big-time towards the end of the month, it's looking pretty likely June ends up warm overall for the region.

I enjoy the Pacific Northwest brand of heat waves not the Eastern style ones. I never wish it to go much past 90.

 

Looking forward to 80s again.

You have no idea how this works, do you?

 

1) Stone saws are loud af. It would wake up the entire family of the client, and probably the entire neighborhood.

 

2) You need to be able to see everything you’re doing..if you mark and/or cut the stones incorrectly, even by a tiny fraction of a centimeter, you open up a gap between the stones that allows moisture and thermal variability into the structure, which can/will compromise it in a number of ways. Can’t use adhesive to fill it because it won’t hold form until it dries, and even then it doesn’t hold form when supporting a heavy weight load.

 

3) It doesn’t really cool down here at night. We’ll probably be in the 90s until midnight, and the heat index will remain at/above 95*F until 3-4AM.

 

In aggregate with the above it’s simply not a plausible solution.

Gaaaaah.

 

Of course, people are allowed to root for whatever the hell they want on here. Openly or not.

[Jesse]

We are building a really good foundation for an above the fray post from Matt within the next hour or so. He thanks us in advance.

[Phil]

Of course. And I have a right to openly express my feelings about it. I just find it to be exceptionally naive and silly. That’s all.

Exactly... we are not basing our opinions on Phil's weather.    

[Jesse]

Or yours. But you are always pushing that narrative.

[Jesse]

12z GFS operational and ensembles look good for a cool down in the mid-long range.

[Farmboy]

[Jesse]

[Farmboy]

Do you hike and backpack when it is in the high 90s and triple digits?

 

I’m actually curious...

A couple trips have coincided with hot spells (not intentionally). 5,000-6,000 elevations can be very nice during those times...

 

Very pleasantly warm...

[Front Ranger]

Euro looking a bit more Jesse-friendly.

And Jared friendly. It sounds like you’ve been aching for cooler and wetter weather in your area.

Big time.

 

Next Thursday went from the mid 90s on the 00Z run to the upper 70s on the 12Z run... and Friday is even cooler. 

[Jesse]

Pretty crazy how inconsistent the models have been with the magnitude of the heat next week. To be expected with a meandering ULL dictating the pattern I suppose.

Yep... minor 500mb changes have huge impacts locally in this pattern.

[TT-SEA]

Maybe a little welcome rain coming in by the end of the 12Z ECMWF run.

 

It would be nice to have a soaking rain in there before the 4th of July activities.

[Jesse]

Yeah. And sadly climo does not favor 100s here.

[Deweydog]

Persistence resistance!!!

[Jesse]

Persistence resistance!!!

There it is. Took you a few hours.

[Jesse]

One nice thing about this ULL over the intermountain west is that it will keep the four corners high suppressed during the time of year where it is usually really starting to make its presence known.

[Deweydog]

There it is. Took you a few hours.

Like Sting I'm tantric.

[Front Ranger]

And Jared friendly. It sounds like you’ve been aching for cooler and wetter weather in your area.

 

Yeah, this Euro is probably the coolest/wettest run yet for this area in the extended period.

[Farmboy]

When does the long-range EPS come out, and if it already is, has anyone seen it?

[Jesse]

Usually it’s viewable to me by 1:15-1:30. You can try breathing into a bag in the meantime.

I prefer the Tim/Heatsquall love child theory.

I haven’t heard that one yet.

Don't look up the sex tape.
