[SilverFallsAndrew]

On a positive side the weekend is trending cooler and wetter, hopefully now warming east winds.

East winds, they suck, but hey it worked out for you in February 2021.

And I mean marine layer may be a bear sometimes but hey it meant that the June 2021 event ended at some point

Lots of 50’s up this way today, too.

Nicest day of the spring season so far.   But I think we have a couple people on here absolutely terrified of nice weather.    Who also live in glass houses and love to throw rocks.    Silliness that never ends.

WE LUV the Marine Layer! @Mr Marine Layer

[SilverFallsAndrew]

This is interesting. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

This is more interesting...

K-Falls just switched over to snow.

Daylight saving really makes the day feels different. Today is proof that spring is around the corner and it’s a beautiful one! 

[Cold Snap]

Up to 56.1 for the day today after a low of 33. Very nice day today and it’s looking like there will be plenty more later this week! Looking like 60 burgers Fri and Sat for the EPSL.

18Z GFS says otherwise.   The 18Z ICON did not trend in that direction though.    But I never discount the 18Z GFS when shows something different than the other models.    Often it becomes the start of a trend.

Major improvements on the 18z today!

Really does... my wife was just saying the same thing.

You just like trolling.  I am sure you would be happy with upper 50s and sun this weekend and a bare ground.  

Have we switched to the offseason?

So close and yet so far away for Boston!  

[TT-SEA]

SEA just reached 50... going to end up with around a -5 departure on the day.     

[Doinko]

38 degrees in Medford right now

First official day of spring. 

[SouthHillFrosty]

Really impressive run tbh

 

 

[Doinko]

130th day below 60 degrees in a row today

SEA hit 59 twice in January.    Very close to not being a significant streak at all.

Why what?    Probably how most record streaks work... close calls averted.     I think the 90-degree streak last July just squeaked by on 1 day.

If water froze at 33 degrees then we would get a lot more winter weather.

I don't think that stops a record from being notable though. At PDX at least it hasn't been above 57 since November 4th so less of a close call there. 56 was the max in November, 55 in December, 54 in January, 57 in February and 55 (today) for March so far.

If it froze at 40 degrees then Seattle would be Valdez!

For sure... if its never happened before then its pretty notable.

Socks and sandals is not a half-assed commitment. It’s a year round way of life.

Wow some snowy cams in eastern Oregon at this hour.

Ended up with a 54/32 spread here. Some brief morning fog and frost then mostly sunny with some decorative high clouds and mid level cumulus at times. Beautiful day.

Hopefully still a below average day THO.

Looks like they SCORED a 55/35. Good for a -3 departure.

Crazy. At least another two sub-60 in the barrel tomorrow and Thursday. I think they will see their first 60 of the year Friday or Saturday, but that is still subject to change I suppose. Whatever the case they are beating the record handily.
