The way the models have been trending today it wouldn’t surprise me too much to see PDX make a solid run at 80 by next weekend or early the following week.

The nice thing about impressive early season warm spikes like that is that they can often be followed by a lengthy return to long wave troughing. Late April through early June still has the potential to deliver abundant rainfall and cool temps around here. I’d say there’s more historical precedent for that than entering an extended ridgy pattern at this stage of the game and not looking back. Recent precedence is another matter entirely though…

I remember 2022.

Stormy!

Daniels!

Looks like we could have some thunderstorm activity Saturday and Sunday 🌩

[Ken in Wood Village]

A tornado warning in Mississippi. It's hard to tell if there is any debris.

[Cascadia_Wx]

49/43 day here so far. Some heavy rain at times the last few hours, with gusty south winds. March going out like a lion.

Had 17/31 days this month with sub-50 highs, which is very impressive for March. Most I’ve recorded personally.

[Deweydog]

He is risen!

Nasty here in Pullman!  37 and raining and windy.   Just had dinner with a large group of parents and kids here at WSU.   To a person... everyone said it needs to stay nasty and cold until August.  I was too embarrassed to mention that a little warmth sounds nice.   

But summer in EWA is brutal.

[MossMan]

Dumping buckets and 39 degrees! 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

40F with some much-needed soaking rain right now.

[Ken in Wood Village]

The wind has picked up. I was looking at some of the observations around the Portland area and most are gusting to 25mph right now from the South. Not sure how strong the winds will get but it's nice to hear them 🌬

[TT-SEA]

Big change on the ECMWF... we have warm rain!

It was a joke.   And most people here are from the west side.  

[TT-SEA]

The ECMWF is the perfect recipe to get the trees leafing out.

[Anti Marine Layer]

A tornado is about to hit Portland. Scroll down for more info.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

April Fools

[Cloud]

Wow. Was just looking at the 00z. 
near 80 is in the picture 10 days from now. Yikes.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Unfortunately a flip like 2018 may now be in the offing. We need to really hope these trends reverse or we could be headed for another miserable smokey summer. Jesse and I are old enough to remember when a PNW used to be enjoyable. Last summer even my kids from Oklahoma were wilting in the heat here.

Well we will enjoy these next few days, and prepare to face whatever comes. @Cascadia_Wx and I will continue to battle weather evil in all its forms, specifically its personification on this forum.

There are some heavy showers coming in. My lightning detector went off last night but my phone was on Don't Disturb so the notification didn't alert me. It was only when I woke up that I saw it. I think it's going to be a active day. 🌩

That shower going through Hillsboro has some heavy precipitation rates. Let's see how it does going over the West Hills.

It's April 1. That's no joke.

Looks like March will finish with 2.77” of rain after 0.30” yesterday evening. -2.3F as well. Not too bad at all.

Funny thing is that I know you don't actually think this way.  This is probably unnecessarily harsh for this forum even though this is a outdated thread now.    

And I am not even doing anything but trying to keep the peace.  Bunch of petulant children in here.

Oh yeah I forgot it’s April good morning to you Timothy! 

[Ken in Wood Village]

Wow, that first batch of heavy precipitation came through but by the time it got out to my area it fell apart. Take a look at the next batch of heavy precipitation coming in. I really think today is going to be active.

I'm visiting a friend in Beaverton and saw this cloud formation. It almost looks like an anvil that's on the top of a thunderstorm 🌩
