July 2018 Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[TT-SEA]

Still 80 in Springfield. Might not get below 70.

 

Going to be some fairly chilly nights starting Wednesday.

 

The type of pattern in which the temp drops quickly after sunset.    

[TT-SEA]

Looks like a healthy negative PDO signature right now.   I hope that does not mean a chilly, wet summer this year.   

 

[MossMan]

What a fantastic stretch we are having! Finally a few days straight with no cloud cover. So refreshing!

[Phil]

A lot of things kill. Hot (or cold) weather is pretty far down the list, to be quite honest.

That’s irrelevant to the point. Heat kills. It’s an uncomfortable, expensive nuisance. I never tried to list or rank it on a cause-of-death billboard.

 

Quit trying to start arguments all the time.

[Deweydog]

Heat kills.

 

And love bites.

 

Pour some sugar on me.

[Jesse]

Close to 100 again by next Monday on the Euro.

[Phil]

While it’s 100 degrees in Portland, OR, icebergs the size of small volcanoes continue to stream out of the Baffin Strait.

 

This is getting ridiculous. Apparently a portion of the village’s 169 people had to evacuate.

And before anyone tries to blame this on climate warming...it’s actually a result of historically cold conditions. More glaciers running into the sea, breaking off, colder waters to sustain the icebergs, etc.

Hope that Greenland vortex gets booted by or in Dec-Jan.

Good interpretation... Tuesday as well.     Then back down a few degrees.

 

[Blizzard777]

I seem to be smelling smoke outside this morning? Hope it’s my imagination as my nose usually doesn’t function to well after a long nights rest.

 

Currently 58*

GFS MOS shows only 74 on Thursday at SEA now. Chilly!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Pretty amazing the GFS ensemble mean is slightly below average on the 06z run. Yet even if it verifies we'll likely see a +5 departure in that span...

[TT-SEA]

By the 5-10 day period... the EPS is showing the same basic pattern that dominated much of this past winter.

 

Didn't Phil say there is a connection between January and July?

 

[Kayla]

High of 39 Bozeman.

 

Clever! That will have to wait until September luckily.

[TT-SEA]

Stratus is almost to OLM... the big cool down has begun.

That’s close to average.

You aren’t setting yourself up for much in the way of sympathy the next time the shoe is on the other foot.

That would never happen anyways.    

 

I am not complaining about the cool down either... it will be nice.  

[Jesse]

That would never happen anyways.

 

 

It can always get worse!

[TT-SEA]

You can't get less than no sympathy... which is fine.   I don't expect it anyways.   Its irrelevant and does not change anything.

There is no sympathy then there is going out of your way to troll. That can always be ramped up.

I don't really care... all part of the fun here.

I have a lot of PMs from you that tell me otherwise.

Really?

 

I think the PMs usually go the other way when it comes to troll scolding.

[Jesse]

Sure, we all know I don’t like it. I’m not the one trying to hide my inner spaz right now though. Let your freak flag fly!

[Jesse]

When you're the troller, it's "all part of the fun."

 

When you're the trollee, it's "being mocked."

Yup, and that goes both ways.

[Jesse]

Are you mocking me?

All part of the fun here!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Despite speculation Eugene would bottom out in the 80s last night it appears they did make it down to at least 55.

[Jesse]

KEUG is the Seneca of the Willamette Valley -- it will always have the coolest nights in the area. Locations with better mixing were undoubtedly in the 60s. Medford bottomed out at 70.

Medford and Eugene are pretty different locations. Most Willamette valley spots fell into the upper 50s.

I hit 52 this morning. Though I am not the Willamette Valley.

PDX has really been impressing me with its enhanced UHI lately.

[GobBluth]

Hillsboro -7 from 24 hours ago.

I left downtown Portland around 12:30a Sunday morning and it was still 84. It was 67 by the time I got to Mt. Angel 45 mins later.

That’s pretty cray cray.

[Jesse]

Looking like an easy jog to low 90s for most of the area today. The warm start will help.

[BLI snowman]

It is curious how often PDX will see sudden intra-hour jumps like yesterday. 95 at 4pm, 96 at 5pm, apparently hit 98 at 4:30pm. Seems to be the case most days there this summer. VUO was 96.
