August 2018 Weather in the Pacific Northwest

[Timmy]

Is this sarcasm? I want it to rain on Sunday like the ECMWF showed.

 

The 12Z GFS looks more promising next week compared to its 00Z run.

. No sarcasm, I am holding you personally responsible for a few of the wildfires at least because of your love for good summer weather.

This all could have been avoided if Farmboy would have just cheered for summer rain.   We were so close!    

[Jesse]

12z GFS still shows a decent soaking down here on Monday. Hopefully the trend towards higher heights can stop though because if it continues that period will probably end up dry.

Were going to need a bigger fan

Mother Nature has a really big fan!  

 

Relief in on the way by Thursday...

Definitely not liking the trend of August continuing for 10 more days on the GFS.

SEA reporting 82 degrees with a visibility of 2 miles... lovely.     <_>

 

Also 82 degrees here but I can see the Cascades which are definitely more than 2 miles away.

Eclipse was one year ago today... and thankfully it was a beautiful day!  

 

My son took this picture in Jefferson, OR as they waited.

Sorry. Too bad our control over the weather has to be viewed as diabolical by some people...

Probably only about a 2 mile visibility up here as well. Ugly.

Yeah the weather was perfect for that event.

King Euro looking further west than the GFS on Sunday/Monday.

 

Nice to see the eastward trend not being across the board on every model, at very least.

[jakeinthevalley]

Offshore flow has reached the central Oregon coast. Newport up to 81f. Looks like the smoke has made it there as well

[SilverFallsAndrew]

MUCH hotter today then yesterday. Not as much smoke either. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

My brother let me know the warmest temp he has seen this year on the S. Oregon coast at North Bend was 74 in late April. He thinks they will beat that today! Though I just looked and they are sitting at 58, so maybe not...

[Phil]

So, I was almost struck by lightning an hour ago. It hit within 50-100ft of me..could literally feel the heat.

 

Big bolt is at 2:20. Okayish one before it (1:25).

ECMWF is definitely still wet for Sunday into Monday.

Probably the wettest it has shown in that period down here.

You're wrong, Tim.

 

I'd tell you why but I have class in a few hours.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

At some point potentially class will turn into "work/job." But let's be real. When has work ever prevented any of us from posting!!!

F'n A. I can't imagine how many hours of non-productive time I've accumulated over the years.

I have both. It is rough!

Good to see.

Tim is really nothing but a victim here. Clearly in need of defense.

[Jesse]

Solid Euro run. Nice to see.

 

Fits well with the GFS ensembles.

You just want a personification of nature so you have a punching bag for stress relief.   I am a good candidate since I enjoy sunny, warm weather in our wet climate.   That is all that is happening.

Like you don’t do the same thing to me and Jim, et al. during the cool and wet season. But far more obsessively.

 

We all can be a******* sometimes.

You're still kind of a turd, but yeah.

 

When the self-absorbed and self-absorbed collide! Next, on FOX!

Exactly... two peas in a pod.   

[Deweydog]

Visibility up to seven miles at PDX. So much for avoiding skin cancer today...

dame phil you should not have been outside like that in the middle of a close lighting storm like that glad you are all right!that was some intese lighting for sure.

For whatever reason, lightning loves to strike down in that little gulley back there behind the neighbor’s house. That’s the second time it’s hit there this summer (hit there once last summer too).

 

It never strikes the 150ft tulip poplars on the hill to the right, or the rooftops. Nope. It snakes down into the ravine there and strikes one of the gazebos or the shrubs lining the pathway to the creek. Makes no sense.

We have blowing and drifting smoke/ash up here! You are really missing out!

Fred should really be compensating our employers for production loss.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Sometimes I randomly read posts to employees during meetings...

I’ve never found you and Jim to be too similar.

Holy cow, you were close! Not the best idea to be outside during that intense of a storm.

[Geos]

Really rooting for the EURO model for the weekend. 

AQ is a bit better - instead of low 300 readings the area is between 225-275 about. Still smells like an ash tray outside right now. No hint of blue skies here - Tim has much better skies where he is at compared to areas closer to the Sound.

 

A toasty 84 here right now. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Tim has much thicker skin than Jim. Have to admit for as much crap as Tim get's he takes it pretty well.
