June 2019 Weather Discussion in the PNW

[Requiem]

18z NAM is horrible.

 

Too bad the cell currently in the Eugene area is going to trend east leaving us high and dry while Cascade Locks gets to enjoy endless storms. They’re guaranteed precipitation with every single event.

 

It's quite good, plenty of strong thunderstorms east of the Cascades and on the crests. You never know, these models can't really pin down exacts.

[High Desert Mat?]

Pea sized hail here in Redmond around 1:30 this afternoon with a torrential downpour. Recorded just over 1/2” in about 15 min. Been on and off thunder since then and now it’s partly sunny again. Looks to be some high tops building to the sw of me again.

 

Forecast discussion mentions this could go in til sunset. Then a slight chance tomorrow with spotty showers. Love Central Oregon for t-storms in the summer and snowfall potential in the winter. Fall and spring kind of suck though.

Referring to the valley. Total precip map is white for most of the Willamette Valley, including the Tualatin Valley.

Again, these things can't really pin down specifics. A shower or thunderstorm could develop here or there, there's certainly a chance.

From the NWS Portland. Quite the hailstorm in NE Clackamas County.

 

NWS Portland @NWSPortland

 

350 PM | Hail nearly covered US26 from the severe thunderstorm earlier in northeastern Clackamas County. We have not received any reports of the hail size that occurred. The threat of severe hail from that particular thunderstorm has since ended in Clackamas County. #pdxtst #orwx

More strikes.  This is great. Hair standing up on the back of my neck.

[TacomaWaWx]

Finally getting some rainfall in Tacoma and breezy NE gusts. Action starting to work it’s way north. Maybe we Will get some lightning but who knows I’m happy we’re getting some rain though.

[TT-SEA]

Rain and occasional thunder for about 2 hours here... sky is bright again and the rain is letting up now.

 

Looks like about .40 here and .30 down in the valley.     

[TT-SEA]

Sun is out now here.   

[Dave]

This helps the fire situation. I was surprised how many tree limbs came down. Full foliage makes a huge difference.

[TT-SEA]

Looks like our garage is on fire with the sun hitting the roof and the steam coming off of it...

 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

That was fun!

[BLI snowman]

Radar getting nice and active in the north valley now.

[TacomaWaWx]

Breezy 20-30mph SE winds and light rain probably 0.01” so far.

[Omegaraptor]

Looks like the storms might actually make it here after all.

.01" so far for SEA. The band really died as it got closer to the water.

[Front Ranger]

Several nice little cells blossoming around OLM.

[Requiem]

Cell near Hillsboro looks pretty strong.

[Omegaraptor]

Unfortunately the Hillsboro storm missed me rain-wise but I heard thunder from it.

[GHweatherChris]

Nah, looks like steam...

[Guest CulverJosh]

That same band that clipped tigerwoods is going to brush by to my east but should hit me a little. Then one more cell moving through after that then look calm after that.

[jcmcgaffey]

It seems like no matter which direction the flow is SEA gets screwed. I guess the old settlers knew the best location to set up camp as Seattle is probably the most weather friendly locations around.

The concrete is keeping out the thunderstorms! 

[TacomaWaWx]

Wasn’t expecting lightning but was hopefully so it’s alright that it didn’t pan out. I was however expecting atleast some rainfall more than we’ve had this month. Only had 0.01” which brings the monthly total up to 0.11”. That is a bit disappointing but maybe we will have better luck over the next couple days.

[Requiem]

Radar looks pretty good for PDX right now, some lightning strikes here and there heading north.

[FroYoBro]

Been under a great thunderstorm for the last 20 minutes. Tons of thunder. 

[Deweydog]

That’s some dark a** red...

[Blizzard777]

Brother took this shot from Damascus!

[Requiem]

Frequent thunder here.

[Perturbed Member]

I got some pretty good rain and lighting from the last cell that went over HIO. 

 

The next round coming up looks impressive, I'll probably be a bit too far west for it but the sky looking pretty dark in that direction. 

[TT-SEA]

HRRR shows what looks like convection over King County tomorrow afternoon...

 

 

 

 

 

Surprisingly... the HRRR from 36 hours ago had a pretty good handle on the general placement of the storms at 5 p.m. today.   

 

 

Score on for the HRRR.

Haha, the HRRR and NAM were wrong! Here’s some 50 DBZ rain.

[Blizzard777]

Raining cats and dogs....lol!

20 minutes of precipitation

This is Damascus location

[Deweydog]

Shits getting real....

[Frontal Snowsquall]

[Requiem]

Thunder is very frequent, almost a clap every twenty seconds or so. Numerous flashes and heavy rain to boot.

[Guest CulverJosh]

Holy hell. Come over here for Tstorms and my old house in Mt Scott seemingly is nailed. That was some bright red sheet.

[Jesse]

Shits getting real....

One of the best thunderstorms I’ve seen in years here.

[Deweydog]

We finally get a taste of what Phil experiences 200+ days a year...

[Guest CulverJosh]

Good lord. We had some good claps of thunder and spikes of lightning here. What are you guys seeing in pdx at the moment?
