August 2018 Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[SilverFallsAndrew]

There was some light drizzle at home today. Problem solved?

[Front Ranger]

EPS, like the Euro, is much cooler for next weekend than the GEFS and GEPS.

[BLI snowman]

I bet PDX will see an average high of 90+ for the month ending 8/15.

Yeah... it was the same thing for early next week a few days ago. And it definitely looks cold and wet now!

[jcmcgaffey]

Yep. This whole side of the country has been completely deep-fried. The perma-ridge is expanding and still flexing its nuts over us.

They say droughts typically last 7 yrs if not a longer term climate change. Didn’t the central part of the US (Texas, Oklahoma, and adjacent states) go trough a roughly 7 year period of drought a few years back? I am just speaking off the top of my head and have no idea if these recent longer pattern setups due to recent climate changes are related.

If SEA can manage a sub-70 high, it will be their first since June.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

It's mostly a product of a very dry May.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

The 12z EURO is showing 90+ weather for PDX this Monday to Thursday with Wednesday getting into the triple digits. The heatwave could possibly even start this weekend as PDX gets to 88, TTD to 89. Can't wait for another heatwave, past couple days have sucked for me.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

[MossMan]

Off and on showers and drizzle all day so far.

[Geos]

Wow, only 64 so far today. 0.04" of rain.

We need a repeat of the August 1981 heatwave to make up for this travesty. I mean what the **** does it take to get some sun around here???????????? Been cloudy for like 10 straight hours!

Seems likely with this solid cloud cover.

 

[Farmboy]

Yeah, that is so messed up. Feels like an early fall. Ready for some non stop uninterrupted 90's already...

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Broken out of the clouds in the south valley. A pleasant 73F. Beautiful.

 

Edit: I can see the deck of marine clouds just a bit to the north between Junction City and Corvallis.

Partly cloudy and 70’s is pretty terrible. Hope things improve for you.

In the summer I prefer sunshine. I don't really care if it's hot, I just want sun. Heat almost always means sun here so that's why I root for it. My mood goes down when I don't see the sun in the summer. It is what it is. I've had a busy week at work and going out for lunch and seeing the sun helps a lot during the day. The sun improves my productivity and energizes me to get stuff done.

 

Also today looks like it will finish with a -10 high departure for PDX. That's not normal this time of year.

Been pretty trying. I threw up three times today from the temperatures.

 

18z GFS long range is depressing and awful too. F)ck this climate.

[Deweydog]

It was cloudy during the vast majority of the outdoor scenes in the Goonies.

[Deweydog]

Stage is set for a new-climate impossibility for tomorrow.

 

Anybody up for a Marine Drive meet up near the PDX sensor to watch the 69 degree ball drop? I'll bring day old donuts from the Albertsons bakery.

Snowwizard?  Is that you?!

Neither are triple crown heatwaves, but you seem ok with those.

[Geos]

65 for a high today here. Just had a little more drizzle. Not one hint of sun today. Felt more like late May or early June.

[Blizzard777]

High of 71 here and lots of sun breaks this afternoon

[Deweydog]

[TigerWoodsLibido]

78 in Eugene On my way up there from sizzling CA tomorrow.

Weather has been perfect here. Cooler than PDX during the heatwaves and we broke out of the marine clouds first today.

 

Also, please bring me some In-N-Out

Well they don't call it June Gloom or in this case Sog-gust for a reason. Some people dislike this type of weather.

 

Last year at this time we were at 103 degrees with sun. Fast forward a year later and it's the complete opposite. Taking high temperatures out of the equation, most people would prefer sun to overcast clouds in the summer time.

[Deweydog]

When do we start having our “fall really starts in August/September/October” arguments. I’ve got this great sun angle piece and poplar leave colors bit.

It would be pretty ironic if we roast all summer long but on August 3rd which is on average the warmest day of the year for both SEA and PDX, that we don't even make it out of the 60s. Now that would be something.

[Andrew.]

Is it winter yet?

[Deweydog]

Is it winter yet?

This winter's gonna suck. Prepare accordingly.

I climbed up the hill in preparation for it. I'll take my sloppy one inch while the valley gets rain

[Andrew.]

That being said we are way overdue for an arctic front

If one cloudy day during months of record heat and dry gets you down, I have no idea how you get through the winter. You can get lights for your desk that simulate the sun. My wife has one, she used it almost every morning last winter.

Sure, but...it's not like you've had a lack of sun this summer. Complaining after a couple days of clouds, when you've had tons of sunshine and multiple heatwaves with more on the horizon, just seems odd.

 

Then again, crackheads always want more crack.

[Deweydog]

Preference skirmish in progress!!!

He's either a first class troll or needs to move to Phoenix.

 

Oh wait, Medford is now Phoenix.

Nope.
