June 2019 Weather Discussion in the PNW

[Jesse]

Looks like the week of the 23rd is a huge fail due to that negative 8 annomally. I may consider moving Vaca to the week after that or later in July

one way or another good weather will happen at some point. The second half of June looks more gloomy than the first definitely. you probably should have gone earlier in the month.

I think some rain would qualify as “ good” weather right now. And whether we get anything meaningful is still yet to be seen. Don’t wish it away before it even starts.

 

The last few days have been mostly sunny and close to 80 down here, so it’s not like we are aching for warm and sunny weather or anything.

[Phil]

Lots of scantily clad sexy co-eds. Time to go be alone now. Lol.

Either you suffer from sex addiction, or you’re a virgin.

 

The frequency at which you make posts like this actually rivals that of Tim’s rain-related posts.

Probably more along the lines of deprivation.

Yeah I agree we could use some rain however I was more referring to warmer weather and sunny days without clouds and marine layers not rain really. It’s still kind of early to even see how much is going to fall the next 10 days or so obviously. Hope some rain comes but either way rain or not the first half of June is probably going to be better than the second half for camping, not that either half is bad weather to be honest.

Not doubting a 0.5"-0.75" event could happen, but the odds of it verifying don't look good.

 

Remember the ULL earlier this month? GFS runs were repeatedly showing 1" in 24-48 hours for Eastern Washington County (with high CAPE values for a cold-core storm event, mind you). We got one 5-10 minute shower that dumped about 0.1" and that was it.

 

I'll believe it when I see it.

You won’t have to worry about record cold highs without a good rain event happening.

I don't care about record cold highs. Far more daily warm records have fallen in the last 5 years than cold records.

[Front Ranger]

Yep. This is why prostitution should be legalized.

[Omegaraptor]

I remember early April. The GFS models were showing 5-7” rainfall in 10 days for my area back at the end of March and beginning of April. It would have been incredible, had it actually happened. But nope, everything trended south to Eugene. While they got 7.5” that month, PDX failed to break 3” and Hillsboro didn’t get much over 3”.

 

You really can’t have high hopes for weather events in the Portland area nowadays.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Beautiful over here. Love seeing all the mountains from one spot. Can only see one of the 3 Sisters from Springfield.

[MossMan]

Watered my moss today...Because I AM THE MOSSMAN!

[Phil]

Take a pressure washer to that s**t.

[ShawniganLake]

I doubt those stones are set in concrete. Pressure washer wouldn’t be a good idea.

[TacomaWaWx]

67 degrees here currently. Was in the mid to upper 60s most of the weekend out past greenwater which was really nice.Was cool to see some snow still up at 5000ft. Snow will Probably will be mostly or entirely gone by the time I head up there again in mid July. Was too much snow to hike up naches peak this afternoon unfortunately.

[MossMan]

I want the moss in between the stones.

They shouldn’t have to be fixed to anything. Just don’t use a focused/high-intensity nozzle.

 

Moss and lichen are what break down those stones in the long run.

[Phil]

Why moss?

 

I just got through power washing the moss buildup off our stone retaining wall and steps a little while ago. I’m telling you that stuff is almost impossible to keep at bay without using chemicals that violate county law. Grows on anything that doesn’t roast in the sun all day.

You’re going to power wash the moss off of the sand between the stones? Why not just scrape it off if he didn’t want it. It’s natural stone, I think the stone will hold up.

Vinegar or bleach, or try some zinc powder. All should kill moss. Zinc could deter regrowth.

Pleasant 55F just a click to the east of Pilot Butte in Bend.

Nailed it!! Lol. The things you guys know from a keyboard just amaze me on a daily basis.

[Jesse]

The Olympic peninsula is now under severe drought.

GF worked at 5AM and I wasn’t about to let her come over here by herself.

[TacomaWaWx]

57 and cloudy this morning light SW breeze.

Here for the day? Maybe we could grab a beer when Im off work.

I wish. We are headed back to the valley now but we are going to go up to the top of Pilot Butte before we leave basically right now. She has to work in Portland early tmr morning.

 

Also, why is the AT&T cell data signal bandwidth like 100 mbps in Bend but less than 5 mbps in Eugene/Springfield and maybe 15 mbps max up the WV?

Nice. I try to make it up a few times a week....awesome views.

 

Not sure about the AT&T signal as I have T-mobile which is not the greatest over here.

Such a beautiful vista. Love coming out here and want to in the winter so bad.

[Jesse]

Looking really nice. Still seems too good to be true that we might get any meaningful precip out of this pattern, though.

 

[TacomaWaWx]

Still no sunshine here and 58 degrees.

[TT-SEA]

Some decent rain up here on Thursday morning per the 12Z ECMWF:

 

[TT-SEA]

High temps on Thursday... not looking good for Farmboy and the farmers market that day.

 

[TT-SEA]

High temps on Friday per the 12Z ECMWF... even worse that day for Farmboy.     He should have just come to western WA again this summer... at least its a little less wintry here.   

 

[TT-SEA]

Better on Saturday in Idaho... and decent out here as well.
