Tyler Mode Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Made it to 75 here before a heavy shower moved in. It only dropped 0.05" but also took the temp down to 61 right at BBQ time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anti Marine Layer Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 72 at SEA... 71 here. Beautiful day. Only topped it off at 62 F in Fullerton today. We had warmer weather last Christmas when it was 67 F. I still have my Gingerbread Spice holiday tea from last Christmas and I'm going to drink some soon. OK, so what if Seattle were to be 5 degrees cooler on Memorial Sunday than it was last Christmas? Seattle was 45 F last Christmas, which following the same pattern would make it just 40 F in the middle of May. Tomorrow looks to be about the same high as last Christmas was. Maybe I should put up the Christmas tree and play the Christmas music and cook a duck in the oven rather than do the outside barbecue. Or maybe do the outside barbecue next Christmas and forget about the tree.That's the main problem with a mild climate like Southern California.

TacomaWaWx Posted May 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 I think this is as dry as I remember it being down south. However, technically only half of western Washington is in an official state of drought anyways. definitely has been drier than usual. In 2018 had 30.70” of rain last year which was the driest year since 2013 when we had 27.77” total on the year here. So the combination of a dry year in 2018 plus the dry first half of 2019 so far is contributing to that. We had back to back dry years in 08 and 09 as well with 30.53” in 08 and 33.64” in 09. Before 2018, 2014-2017 all featured years with above average rainfall, each of the 4 years having 45-50 inches of rain. So it was bound to wind down at some point I suppose.

TacomaWaWx Posted May 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 I guess I was just getting used to the overly wet years that it feels much drier this year. Yeah it definitely was a very wet period from 2014-2017. Average varies around the sound obviously but most places average about 36 inches a year. So getting 45-50 inches 4 years straight is definitely not normal. 1 Quote Tacoma WA elevation 300’ Monthly rainfall-3.56” Warm season rainfall-11.14” Max temp-88 +80 highs-2 +85 highs-2 +90 highs-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-SEA Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 At the risk of initiating a tedious hair-splitting argument -- hey, anything can happen -- saturation adjustments can be color-specific. This looks like the greens have been jacked up off the scale while the other colors have been left alone. Maybe that's just how Samsung's color algorithms work. I took the pic and uploaded it... it looks pretty much like what I see with my own eyes. Its just very lush here... probably the peak of green here in late May. As with most places.

Phil Posted May 27, 2019 Report Share Posted May 27, 2019 Note the warming West-Pacific Warm Pool SSTAs in advance of the MJO currently re-emerging in the IO/EHEM. This has historically been a precursor to explosive convection over the warm pool during the subsequent MJO passage, which is another reason I believe there is risk of a western heatwave later in June or early in July (whenever forcing reaches the WPAC). Of course, it’s not a background state this year with the sharpening EPAC meridional gradient/narrower z-cell regime over the long run, but that doesn’t preclude intraseasonal variability like the aforementioned.
