High Desert Mat? Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 FWIW, 1993/94 was an infuriating winter for my area too. Tons of extreme cold but the storm track was complete crap and kept warm-sectoring us into sleet/ZR..it was literally pouring rain at 15*F in one of those storms. Thank goodness I was too young to remember that. But I’d love a repeat of 1992/93..epic triple-phaser superstorm dumping 16” of snow in 7hrs followed by sideways sleet and gusts to 72mph. My family still has old home videos of that monster.Seems like a one upper if I’ve ever met one. Nothing is as good here. Ever!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacomaWaWx Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Rained most of the afternoon but only about 0.06" to show for it. Nice, to see plenty of opportunities for more to come. Vancouver island looks like the bullseye. Looks like Farther north in B.C. should do good and everything north of Portland or so should as well.

MossMan Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Spent all day working on the yard, the weather was perfect for that! Not so perfect if we were at our lake house.Was dry for the most part, did have about 15 minutes of sprinkles this afternoon.

MossMan Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Chambers Bay after the USGA gets done?I’m sure those greens at Chambers were approaching this status! This is the golf course that I worked at for nearly 10yrs, (from the mid 90’s to mid 2000’s) the management company pulled out of its lease and Snohomish Co (owns the property) did not want to run the course so they shut it down last October and nature is quickly reclaiming the property! This is 11 fairway with the bike in pic, and a bunker on 6! 2 Quote Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border.

Then you also b*tched nonstop during the cold period in February and March.I’m sensing a trend here.This July has been cloudier than normal as well as cooler in terms of daily highs by quite a bit no matter what way you slice it. GFS starts to turn towards average summer weather, which I suggest is a good thing, and for some reason you feel the need to paint me as a heat miser at every possible opportunity. You literally treat every normal instance of spring/summer/fall warmth like it’s plutonium and I don’t ever call you out for it. I accept your climate preferences. You like cold anomalies, big deal. I don’t care. Different strokes. Yet for some reason you seem to be straight up offended by me wanting normal summer weather. Maybe if you keep it up, I’ll start liking cool and cloudy “summer” weather! Hahaha, no. I have preferences, and you’re not going to change them no matter how hard you try. Don’t like them? Tough.

I often have nice things to say about seasonably warm weather and long as it doesn’t last for weeks on end.I just dislike streakiness in general. I much prefer short ridges and troughs over 3 weeks of torching followed by 2 weeks in the refrigerator. Even seasonable warmth can get old if it goes on for too long. However, being on the west coast of a continent doesn’t exactly put you in a good position for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather the past few weeks has been utterly typical by pre 2013 standards, with the exception of the thunderstorms which were fun and exciting. A bit cloudier perhaps than the statistical average but it's very much been within the realm normalcy. More than anything the reaction to this stretch of weather shows how much recent summers have skewed expectations. I guess you were like nine years old in 2012 though which explains your lack of perspective. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Mark summarizes things well in his latest blog post. “Portland isn’t sunny Southern California, hot Atlanta, or sunny/dry/hot Denver (in summer). We live in a temperate marine-influenced climate; notice the greenery all around us? This is perfectly normal unless it continues for the next 6 weeks. It doesn’t necessarily mean the entire summer will be cloudy and “cool”. No need to panic for now if your livelihood depends on renting standup paddleboards.” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you were like nine years old in 2012 though which explains your lack of perspective.Thank you for the perspective. Pretty hard to really remember a truly cool/wet summer. I’m sure it will warm up later on, but for now, it is what it is. Maybe a bit cool but nothing that we haven’t seen in previous summers at all (sans the 13-18 warm period). Hope we can get some more thunderstorms while we still have troughing - that’s definitely been a welcome feature of this summer so far. Phil said all spring that a normal summer would cause loads of complaining, let alone a cooler than average one. He was right. From here on out I will cut down on the complaining. It’s not like Feb 2019 or anything where we got missed by three big snow events. And yeah, sorry for overreacting so much this month. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omegaraptor Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 https://fox12weather.wordpress.com/Excellent and informative blog. Thanks for sharing. In the past couple of days I’ve been noticing the resurgence of the blob in the GoA (which is briefly talked about in this article as well). Looked at SST maps from February up until now and there’s a pretty fast warming trend. Hoping that doesn’t last into fall and winter. Maybe the troughing forecasted in the GoA can help cool it down?

Omegaraptor Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Found this post on the NWS Seattle Twitter explaining how the heat wave in Alaska and the cool/troughy pattern in the PNW are connected. Looking at the Anchorage forecast, heat is expected to last through today (85) and tomorrow. After that, it cools down, but the rest of the forecast is still torching compared to average. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
