Snapped this on the way home from Eugene on the 4th near Brownsville, OR. No filter...

I was there in April and Queenstown is perhaps one of the most picturesque towns I've seen.  I know there are quite a few in the Alps too.   Lots of wind in Christchurch.  The mountains were just gett

Walked down to the Kinsol Trestle this afternoon, one of the largest wooden trestles in the world. Tim will appreciate the clear blue skies above.

Well yeah, you're taking the abnormally wet April out of the equation. So now the map is based off a dry month and a near normal month. Of course it will look like that. Nothing visually appears to be abnormally dry - that's what Tim and I are trying to point out. 

 

It's not what I'm taking out of the equation.  :)

 

I'm explaining why there is a logical reason for your area to be included in the abnormally dry area on the drought map. The past 2.5 months, since mid April, have been quite dry overall. Despite some recent rains in your area.

Wow... Good to hear the world only revolves around YOU then!

 

 

No.   

 

I am not saying there are not drought issues down south.    I am fully aware of the situation.

 

What is annoying is that people insist that there are issues here.   Its just not true.   Come visit and it will be very obvious to you.   :)

Where has anyone said your area has issues? A map shows it as part of an abnormally dry region, due to what has actually been an abnormally dry late spring/early summer period - even for your area.

 

Big deal.

Wildfires kill people dude. Incredibly self centered point of view.

 

Again, the point is your region is experiencing abnormally dry to drought conditions currently. Maybe not a 10 mile radius around your house but the rest of the region is.

All kinds of weather kills people.    Extreme weather that people on here cheer for all the time.   

 

I wish I could wave a magic wand and make the rest of the region as wet as the area to the north and east of Seattle.

 

And you are making the area sound smaller than it really is... the map above for 2018 shows the area that has no water or drought issues.   From downtown Seattle southward... its very dry.   To the north and east of Seattle and across most of eastern WA... its been wet.    Those other maps are too vague and broad.

Bellingham might actually be warmer than Seattle and Olympia thanks the mid and high level clouds down here... it is rare for BLI to be warmer than SEA and OLM in the summer.

GFS says Tim gets rain this weekend!

 

Also holds off on the heat longer than many runs from the past couple days.

12Z ECMWF shows some showers on the coast and in the mountains on Friday afternoon and evening into Saturday morning but barely anything here. The flow is not favorable for any c-zone action. Some morning clouds but sunny and warm again by Saturday afternoon here on that run.

Hey TT you think it will be clear at Mt Rainier early tommorow morning? MM5 nam shows a few high clouds. I assume they will be high enough not to interfere with view.

 

Might be mid-level clouds as well... but I would guess the top of Rainier would be visible even from Seattle in that situation. 

 

Here is the WRF for 11 a.m. tomorrow:

Just remember. No fireworks in national parks!

Despite being warmer for Saturday and Sunday... the 12Z ECMWF keeps up the theme of delaying any heat.  

 

Looks like a marine push on Monday with highs only in the 70s and low 80s on Monday and Tuesday... the 00Z run was WAY warmer for next Tuesday.

Heading out to finally mow the lawn so it looks decent for a party my kids are having tomorrow.   Have not been able to do it lately because its been so wet.   Have not used the sprinklers even once on the grass yet this year.

 

I am guessing surface moisture is not abnormally dry here.   The ground is squishy and there are some mushrooms growing in there.   It can't get any wetter at this time of year.    :)

Was looking to see if there were any drought impacts in the state. A few mostly in the Yakima Valley. Only found one in King, which is the lowest impact category. And most likely that report is out of the southern part of the county.

Good trends for you guys on the 12z EPS too.

I just got waterboarded walking to the mailbox.

 

97/79, HI 116 (which is MUCH better than 70*F drizzle according to Tim).

70 degree drizzle is almost unheard of around here.

I was just about to say that... can't remember ever experiencing 70-degree drizzle.

I've gotta think it's nigh impossible here. Even in the warmest part of the valley.

Nasty. Looks like you're weekend isn't looking too hot. 

I've probably experienced drizzle at 70. Experienced pouring down rain at about 80 degrees with a dewpoint in the high 70s. Almost like being in the shower.

So 60 degree drizzle is commonplace but 70 degree drizzle is impossible?

 

That’s...interesting.

Darn close to impossible. Low to mid 60s is about the max with real drizzle. Usually its in the 50s with drizzle.

      Polite Politics

      General Mattis certainly turned into an incredible disappointment. Yeah, she is overzealous, but it's interesting how the left and their media lapdogs employee extremely sexist tropes against her. Trump always was and always has been a mascot. He's an avatar for working class rage. Him calling out the elites is more than we've ever had anyone stand up for us before. We know he's just one man, but he's willing to sacrifice his own comfort for us. He's given up everything to stand up for the working class, he isn't one of us, he didn't have to do that, but he did. So do I think he is ridiculous, of course, but at the same time I have to recognize he's the only person willing to stand up and fight for people like me. Also I would add. The media is trying to scare us about how Trump would dismantle a number of federal agencies if he is elected. Sounds like draining the swamp to me. They say he has a plan to really do it this time, you believe every terrible thing you read or hear about Trump in the media, but you don't believe that?

      KOIN and KGW agree. KATU is going 91, then 90. What I'm seeing. While median 850s didn't change, too end 850s went up about a degree. Downslope the Euro is going with a 1023 high, to a 1016 low. WRF is doing a 1022 high to a 1014 low. HRRR is a 1025 high to a 1015 low. The Euro didn't change much over 2 days, while WRF and HRRR's gradient went up, without much change in 850s. Using a modified Temperature potential formula that would better (but not completly) account for this downsloping (aka changing variables in said formula), I come out with a 90 (rounded down) now; instead of 89 (rounded up) just using raw data. Knowing PDX will overperform (and downslope is superadiabatic), I'll jump my forecast to 91 Friday. 89-92 is probably range right now.
