June 2019 Weather Discussion in the PNW

[TT-SEA]

I posted the map. The vast majority of the region is still well below normal just for the month, not to mention longer periods.

 

If it was truly a good soaking for the region, that would not be the case.

You have the actual rainfall data. Just look at it. Its not subjective. Its raw data.

 

You seem very defensive today.

:lol:I am not making any point. I posted a rainfall total map. Make your own judgements. You seem to think I care way more than I do. I make random comments and observations. Looks like a good soaking for a good part of the region. That is all.

Have at it Jesse at al

Its true.

 

I can barely remember what I had for breakfast!

[Front Ranger]

Not really. A lot of people did. The last few days under performed for the vast majority of the region.

 

SEA: .11

WFO Seattle: .06

OLM: .07

BLI: .16

 

 

Sorry, Cliff. Tough to argue it was an impressive soaking when the main population centers saw this, and everyone is still running way below normal. Doesn't add up.

The maps are not subjective and based on actual data.

 

Cliff's post was inaccurate, slanted and misleading. Deserves to get called out.

The rainfall totals are actual recorded data. You don't need a vague colored map to understand rain totals measured by a rain gauge.

 

We got .80 here. Probably less than normal for the first 8 days of June... but a good soaking. Everything this thoroughly watered and muddy here. Definitely not dry.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Front Ranger is right on this one. End of argument. Move on to trolling about nice weather.

There is no right or wrong. Its just data.

 

I call it a good soaking here.

 

Call it whatever you want. The data is there for you to see.

 

It happened. It was recorded.

SW Washington pretty much got all the rain other than that most of the area didnt get anything besides the convergence zone in Everett and the cascade foothills. It was pretty dry for everyone else outside of the PSCZ and south and west of Olympia. Even in the areas that got soaked they’re still well behind.

[TT-SEA]

Good Lord.

 

Thought the rainfall total map was interesting. Still do.

 

So much controversy!

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Oh rest assured, you’re going to make sure we all know how you feel about it.

I actually thought people would be pleasantly surprised. Guess not.

 

Oh well... the totals are there for everyone to see. Call it whatever you want.

[TT-SEA]

ECMWF maps are not updating on Tropical Tropical Tidbits.

 

But surface maps are updating... weekend looks warmer than the 00Z run but not really hot. Just sustained warmth it appears. Looks like a flat ridge around day 8 and 9.

Gotta look at the totality of information. I've already pointed out exactly how Cliff's post was misleading.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Probably need more posts now about the ongoing drought CRISIS which will only get WORSE as this record breaking dry hot summer really starts to wind up this week.

Looks pretty close to normal or maybe just slighty above normal by Friday and beyond.

 

Highs mostly in the 70s to around 80.

Pretty much. It's not that hard to understand or see. Cliff will have a legit argument when the region is no longer in drought.

 

Past couple days did not change that, though they helped isolated spots.

You seem really intent on making something out of nothing. It was a decent rain event for many places. Nobody said it solved all the problems... not even Cliff.

[TT-SEA]

Dry.

Yes.

 

But not record breaking heat later in the week and beyond.

Add 3 degrees to account for its cool bias.    Still not too extreme... just sustained warmth.

Going to be a lot warmer down here. And one of the driest June's on record.

Shows PDX above 90 on 2 days... most days are in the upper 70s to low 80s.

[TacomaWaWx]

Still early to say but I get the feeling this will end up being the 2nd or 3rd warmest june in record for Tacoma(records over the last 15 years). #1 77 in 2015 and #2 72 in 2013. If the coolest days this month are in the low to mid 70s could end up being a warm one. Record driest also 2015 with 0.13” and 2nd place 0.36” in 2009. Way too early to tell with 21 days to go but it’ll be interesting to see.

Are you enjoying the graduation parties?

An average high in the upper 70s to low 80s is record warm territory for June down here. Those are midsummer type averages, and historically June doesn’t behave like a midsummer month. I think the last several years have really warped some expectations as far as what is normal here in the warm season. The temps on the 12z Euro would be pretty normal for late July/early August, our warmest time of year.

 

Only one June in history has had an average high above 80 at PDX, and that was 2015. All the other top warm June’s had average highs in the 78-79 degree range.

[TT-SEA]

Not yet.   We are not leaving until 2:30 or 3.  

 

Thanks for asking!

We are only talking about the next 10 days.   Not the entire month.  

 

Probably only going to be one record high set at PDX... on Wednesday (record high is 93 on 6/12).

[TT-SEA]

12Z EPS... 10-15 day mean.

I went to a graduation party yesterday. The graduates mom told my wife and I that her daughter "isn't very smart" so "we are going to be flexible and understanding of these after high school plans." 

 

Mom of the year right there.

daughter can’t be too smart if her mom is that dumb. “Flexible with understanding these after high school plans”. Just setting your kid up for living at your house until 30.

So, being flexible with college education is considered stupid now? Baseless and frivolous assumptions here.

[Timmy Supercell]

up here June 2015 is the warmest and driest I’ve seen. 77 for an average high and 0.13” of rain for the whole month. Then July followed with an average high of 81 and 0.13” again. August atleast had rain but it was also a month with an average high of 78. Was a lame summer. Hopefully 2019 doesn’t try and beat that.

 

June 2015 was the warmest June on record in Klamath Falls (and in many other locations I imagine). 

 

Though July and August 2015 were considerably closer to norm for me, as I had quite a bit of convective influence on the east sides that summer.

Kinda like how the California drought has warped people's perceptions of reality down there.

 

2018-19 was a wet winter for CA for sure (hence the superbloom), but it's not anything super historic that hasn't been seen there before (in fact, 2016-17 was wetter for many parts of CA). Yet people were complaining left and right about "when will the rain ever stop". But then again, that's part Californians complaining about everything that isn't dry and sunny, and part crash back to reality after a long drought.

um who said anything about college? If her own mom is calling her dumb she’s obviously not going to college lol. I understand it’s not simple going out on your own I’ve only been living on my own for a year now.

Cool sun halo with this band of high clouds coming through right now.
