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.

Just 24 hours away from hearimg what a chilly paradise we live in from Phil. :)

Highs in the 70s would fit my definition of paradise, yes.

 

Scheduled to land at SeaTac around 8pm tomorrow, then making the drive up to Everett. Also grabbed some tickets to the Mariners/White Sox game on the 20th.

Oh yeah, no doubt the marine push has fueled things over there in the short term. But it took weeks of hot and dry weather to get the fuels to the point they are this “early” in the fire season too. Lots of blame to go around to both anomaly parties!

 

 

There is the irony... cool onshore flow and troughs digging in from the north become the trigger for explosion once it gets to a certain point with hot and dry weather.   Its quite the quandary for cool weather fans!   Getting the cooler weather you want on this side might be really bad for the rest of the region.

Tomorrow evening will actually be quite cool.    Friday will be awesome... more sun than tomorrow but still cool and Friday evening will be gorgeous at Safeco.   

 

Saturday might be the best day with sun right from the start but highs staying in the 70s for most of the area.

He has a pretty respectable knack for trolling us both ways. :lol:

Only when it’s deserved. Haha.

 

I actually really enjoyed it up there last summer. Was one of the highlights of the year for us. There’s a reason I’m coming back (and staying longer this time). ;)

Good to know, thanks.

Yeah I know that. No need to explain it to me. It was a typo.

Ok. I thought you did it last night too but maybe I saw it wrong.

 

The most current run is called the 00z because it initializes at 00:00 Zulu or universal time (also known as Greenwich Mean Time). 00z universal time roughly translates to about 5pm our time. This time of year you just need to subtract seven hours to get it to match with our time. I hope this is helpful for you!

More humid southerly or SWRly flow is generally the safest way to go.

I picture you crouched in the bushes outside of Sea Tac watching his plane land through binoculars.

 

 

I should have been a travel agent.   :)

 

We will be up on Orcas Island tomorrow evening.    I can't sneak over to SEA very easily!

You've seen me post here for years. Yeah I did it last night as well but fixed it after I posted. I get too excited and I want to post the information right away that I forget what run it is. You should of known I already knew what 00z meant when I said yesterday the temperatures it showed were for 5pm.

Sounds like you’re describing a GOA trough pattern.

 

IE: What might be in store for August. Or at least a good portion of it.

I don't think August will be a dry month across the region.

Would be nice, but it feels like there has been a general consensus for cool/wet Augusts here in a handful of years in the recent past. Still waiting for one to actually pan out.

You're a weather republican.

 

Longing for the past and resisting hope and change.

Never said it couldn’t happen.

 

I try to be a realist. Wouldn’t that make me more of an independent perhaps?

Such a long fall from the days of #icebernboy69. Rampant realism is the third step toward fray floating nihilism...

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

I'd be shocked if it rains anywhere.

 

Likely a slightly warm and pleasantly dull September and then another October with 20+ days of rain and no clear nights.

 

This climate blows.

I can already feel the 69/52 and overcast/light rain type days in mid to late October. Pure autumn perfection!

Would be highly unusual to have a near record dry May-July be followed by a dry August.

 

But it's been an unusual (weird) year!

 

That is my thought too.

      I just came across a similar article. They’re saying he only needs to pull 4 or 5 States away from Donald and the election will go Democrat. So, he knows he’s a spoiler. Is he a closet Democrat “stealth bomber”?

      April 2024 Weather in the PNW

      It's amazing to me the people I hear about who try to climb Everest. I hiked up South Sister from Green Lakes and Broken Top from Green Lakes, when I was a teenager. That's enough for me. I might do it again when my kids are in their teens.

      I'm definitely in the "I'll believe it when I see it" camp as far as RFK actually polling in the teens come election day, but he is headed toward being the most successful 3rd party candidate since Ross Perot in 1996. He has the name ID and a lot of dissatisfaction with Trump and Biden in his favor. No 3rd party candidate has gotten at least 5% of the vote since 1996.

      April 2024 Weather in the PNW

      Yeah, as with any 20k+ summit. Although most the time people die, they are likely inexperienced and made a poor decision to keep pushing despite the forecast inclement weather, or one of their group members die because of bad crevasse rescue techniques. But occasionally an experienced mountaineer will get unlucky and die in an Avalanche, there's only so much precaution you can take to avoid that. Denali(or Mckinley, I personally don't support changing mountains names, but I think Denali is a much better name than McKinley) hasn't become the sh1tshow that everest has yet, but as with any one of the 7 continental summits, there are too many inexperienced people who pay their way to the top. It's pretty crazy what goes on at Mount everest now, it's just a mountain of trash and rich inexperienced tourists.

      Good point I didn't think about. I saw Trump went on the attack against RFK this week.
