July 2018 Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[TT-SEA]

Lubbock is so flat.

[Geos]

Lubbock is so flat.

 

Yeah I've been down that way once before. Flat, scrublands. They get some good storms down there, but it is fairly dry there.

[Geos]

Nice break from the heat tomorrow. Give the house a chance to cool off before the next round.

 

[Deweydog]

11 down, 19 to go!!

Long road to go to get to 96...

You supported it.

More than enough Tim/rain talk in the summer contest thread, though.

We have to bide the time somehow while we wait for you to crunch those numbers!!

[Geos]

89.2 right now. Might eek out 90. Would be 3 days in a row AOA 90.

88 here but only 82 at SEA. Always warmer here away from the Sound on these weak onshore flow days.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

95F in Springfield. Another scorcher.

[Front Ranger]

Six 85+ days in a row at SEA. Seven on the month. 13 on the year.

 

Last year only had 7 at this point.

 

2016 only had 6.

 

In terms of moderate heat, this summer is easily outpacing the last couple so far.

[BLI snowman]

Hot and dusty is awesome if its climo!

 

I would really miss the mountains and greenery of the PNW.

I don't even think the weather down there is very interesting. Dry and mostly mild winters and crappy heat the rest of the year. Severe storms are fun but too few and far between to make for a fun climate.

PDX probably still got there even though their warmest over was 90.

They’re crunched. I just need to finish packing, stop procrastinating and post them.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

6th straight 90+ day at PDX with one of the days getting into the triple digits. We will cool off a bit over the next few days until the next heat wave begins this weekend. I'm actually looking forward to this break from the heat because we don't want to burn ourselves out too quickly, we're not even at the halfway point of summer yet.

Halfway point of meteorological summer was two days ago.

[MossMan]

Nice day!!

[Geos]

89.4 as the official high here. Down to 83 already. Can see the 70s starting to push onshore around Edmonds and Mountlake Terrace.

[Deweydog]

Halfway point of meteorological summer was yesterday.

Fixed.

[Deweydog]

Starting to think Hillsboro might be next on the sensory chopping block.

[Jesse]

Fixed.

  

Halfway point of meteorological summer was 30 hours ago.

Fixed.

[Deweydog]

 

Fixed.

Which was yesterday, I believe.

August 3rd is over 2/3 of the way through meteorological summer.

Season lag REALLY lags right now.

 

At this point in winter we're already well on our way back to our 82 (soon to be 83!) average high peak.

Always been that way. I think of it as winter hitting so hard it takes a lot longer to get back up than it did to get knocked down.

But I get up again, you're never gonna keep me down.

Been a lot of nights pissed away around this place...

Whiskey, vodka, lager, and cider all consumed regularly

Fire not far from my house. Daughter got the shots ....fire engines where not on seen yet....crazy scary moment for her as it just unfolds in front of her with cars ahead and behind her. Luckily traffic kept moving keeping her and my Grandson out of danger.

This is and area where us folks in Federal Way can take a short cut via 509 through the Tacoma shipyard to get to I–5 without passing through the Fife gridlock. Scary how fast it moved!

Unsure if any of the houses at the top of the hill where damaged by the fire.

Lubbock was largely destroyed by a F-5 tornado in 1970, so there's that.

Cool pics, but what's so scary about that? Pretty minimal danger to anyone in their cars from a small grass fire like that.

Glad they got out of there safe. It seems like there's a new wildfire that starts everyday now. Looks like a new wildfire just started down here in The Dalles. They have a Level 3 (Go Now) evacuation is place now, people have been evacuated. Hopefully they can get it under control.

Nice day!!!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

If I move to Lubbock or anywhere in that area in the next few years I'd probably keep "my location," and just rent it out and then rent there... I would have to come back here eventually.

Maybe hold on down there until all these nice summers pass. If they ever do.

[Geos]

Well... its better than what it shows for Monday.

 

That's too hot!

[Guest Sounder]

More Bethesda stuff for Jesse.

 

Decent strike this afternoon. Hit a few streets over.

 

Wait, this doesn't look like somewhere 9,000ft in the rugged mountain wilderness of Western Maryland... I'm confused
