August 2018 Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[Front Ranger]

The CMC is much cooler for Sunday and Monday. It's been exceptionally awful lately, though.

[Deweydog]

Wurm night.

[VancouverIslandSouth]

Warm with smoke-free skies here today, but the Nanaimo Lakes fire has clearly grown causing local smoke to the north. This stretch of warm weather is getting a bit ridiculous and the waters in the Strait of Georgia are showing it; patches of 70F+ are showing up (Halibut Bank in the middle of the Strait - https://weather.gc.ca/marine/weatherConditions-24hrObsHistory_e.html?mapID=03&siteID=06400&stationID=46131 )

Going to be a washout of a weekend. Enjoy the sun now!

RIP next summer weekend.

 

Gone but not forgotten.

looks pretty brutal. Could be 0.1” or so many places.

Yep! November sneak peek!

considering it’s only rained 0.03” here in the past 6 weeks. A tenth of an inch will feel like a deluge. Although, the euro mostly leaves southern Vancouver island high and dry.

[Deweydog]

Friday is warmer though.

Perhaps the crash will be survivable.

00Z ECMWF shows over .75 here.

00Z ECMWF shows over .75 here.

How about up in my area?

I reckon your area is due for some drought after that anomalously wet spring.

If you’re interested in the mid and long range EPS, this is the troughiest frame I could find. Although the site Phil uses often looks much cooler than this one.

Big runs coming up this morning. Will the crazy heat continue? Moderate heat? Showers? From an anomalous weather enthusiast standpoint, the upcoming pattern options are intriguing...

models are going to be an inconsistent wreck with that tropical activity

[Front Ranger]

6z was notably cooler for next week.

[Esquimalt]

Bad, bad news.  The 12Z GFS is much drier with the Friday night system.

Wow, staying dry here ,no surprise

Still quite wet for Saturday like the 00Z ECMWF.

[Jesse]

Seems to be more smoke this morning.

[GobBluth]

GFS and GEM trends towards a shorter hot wave next week.

Perfect upper flow for transport today and tomorrow.

[TT-SEA]

The cool weather and rain appear to be entirely focused on Saturday now.  

 

Friday is still warm and sunny (particularly up here) and Sunday is pretty warm (but not hot) and sunny again.

Not as hot, too.

 

But any model not showing August 1967 redux must be taken with a grain of salt.

You can stop with the butthurt any time.

Baffin Island.

 

Really need to visit that place sometime.

Baffin Island.

That vortex sticking around is just about the only silver lining I can find with this pattern.

Thru the 10th, this August will be cruising along much warmer than ‘67, at least in southern BC

It was a joke. Based on real life!

The Baffin Island bureau of tourism could take some lessons from you. I think you've done more to raise awareness for that place than anyone in history.

Yeah, also gets a head start on building the cold air source and suggests a move to a more longitudinally oblong 4CH in the long run, if I’m reading it right. So all is not lost, even in the subseasonal range.

Jokes are a common way to cope with deep inner butthurt. Take it from me and Matt.

Do you need some lube, honey?

I’m pretty sure that place is “dry”. I know people that have been there and they shipped some booze in to drink at their hotel. Kind of a tourism killer.

True. Many comedians are actually depressed, psychologically damaged individuals. Which explains their surprisingly high suicide rate.
