July 2019 Weather Discussion for the PNW

[BLI snowman]

Looks lovely there actually.    At least its summer-like.  

 

We're getting robbed!!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Yep. There were some incredible thunderstorms  when I worked up there as a fly fishing guide. Most of them were fairly dry too.

 

That would have been an amazing experience. 

[ShawniganLake]

What kind of firework show does Anchorage have with all that daylight?

I think they canceled them anyway due to the high fire danger.

That would have been an amazing experience. 

There was one that was right on top of us and we had to get off the river and wait it out. Still was hard to convince our dudes to not sneak in some casts from the shore. I guess when you pay $4000 for a week long trip, you think nothing of waving a 9' fly rod around in an electrical storm!!

Looks like they did cancel all commercial shows in and around Anchorage

We live in a true intellectual dark ages. Mass information available to people without the capacity to process it. Everyone thinking because some piece of information is new to them it is new to humanity.

Less than 12 years to go...

[Frontal Snowsquall]

I would gladly take some of the weather in Anchorage.

 

78 and sunny there today... does not look like armageddon either.

 

Yeah, same here. Looks beautiful there.

Pax Americana has already ended. 

[Frontal Snowsquall]

8-15 day mean... decent enough.

 

Yeah, doesn't look too bad.

[Omegaraptor]

Don't worry guys, persistent ridging is coming back. Just gotta wait until November 1. Then it'll last until March 21 or so.

[Deweydog]

Pax Americana has already ended.

Thanks Trump/Obama/Bush/Clinton/Tarantino/Winfrey!

Morning lows have been very mild the past couple days considering the cooler weather. 58F for a low yesterday which is a +6 departure.

 

Pleasant afternoon now, partly sunny and around 70.

[Omegaraptor]

Wow this forum really is slow in summer compared to winter.

[Requiem]

Heading off to Japan in a couple days- some historic rain happening in some areas with heavy rain expected into Sunday. Could be fun!

[Omegaraptor]

18z GFS is essentially a toned down version of the 12z.

 

High rainfall over all of BC, half an inch for most of Western WA, and measurable rain down to Siskiyou County.

 

Okanogan and Ferry counties look real wet with the 12z and 18z. Funny how Okanogan County was actually the first significantly drier than normal region back in February and March.

 

Those counties, while rural and sparsely populated, are still fire hotspots. If we can get a good soaking there, that’s definitely good news.

12Z WRF for 5 p.m. today... not going to happen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

12Z ECMWF for 5 p.m.

 

 

 

WRF sucks.

[Jesse]

Nothing worse than a stolen Wednesday afternoon...

[TacomaWaWx]

Back in Tacoma after heading up to port Townsend this afternoon. High temp so far only 66 degrees and no sunshine whatsoever on the drive back home in sight.

[GHweatherChris]

Absolute perfection in Westport at my folks house, sunny and 67. Gonna go blow stuff up at the beach later!!

I guess it’s Opposite Day cloudy in the interior sunny on the coast.

Actually we have been out here 3 times the last 2 weeks and it was sunny here and cloudy at home.

PDX has had a +4 departure from the lows everyday so far in July.

[MossMan]

Was just starting to clear a bit before leaving the lake after finally getting the jetski in the water for the season! Still dark here back at home. 63.

Mostly cloudy and 70/58 here today. Burn off was less complete than expected, hopefully we are just as lucky tomorrow.

[Anti Marine Layer]

All the troughing is courtesy of the huge ridge over Alaska. Blocking at its finest.

 

Remember 2010. San Diego averaged below 70 in July for the high and most summer days inland felt like warm days in late May or early June where the sun came out at a decent time. I remember PNW summer was pretty crappy that year as well. Rest of the country baked in record heat. Blocking at its finest

I currently am sunburned.

Yesterday was the wettest day we’ve had with 0.10” since May 25th when we had 0.23” glad we got some rain yesterday. Was the rainiest July day since July 10th 2016 when we had 0.12” of rain.

Overall it was interesting having a tie for record cold July day and wettest July day in 3 years.

[Jesse]

Too easy.

 

Looks like 72/60 at PDX today. Good for a -1F departure.

The mere mention of enjoying any warmth sends you into a sarcastic, angry tirade.   Sooooo easy.   We all want the trees to die!!! 

[Jesse]

Gonna be a long summer.
