Phil Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 It’s like the I-495 Inner-Loop from McLean - Silver Spring. Backed-up every day, even on weekends. Must be a similar situation here in Seattle. Volume is too condensed..need another major artery but water/existing infrastructure prevents it, just like back home. Screwage.

It’s gonna be August by then though, so it’s probably most prudent to expect that we will absolutely roast our faces off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omegaraptor Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 The August 2 storm looks incredibly strong for midsummer, and looks like it also might be able to deliver some t-storms.

I'm hoping we can at least get PDX a gust over 60 mph this winter, hasn't happened since December 2014 (which wasn't a terribly widespread event). The Hanukkah Eve Storm was great, but there was a large disparity in the winds that Puget Sound got, and the far weaker winds that the Valley received. Most valley locations only recorded 45-55 gusts, in comparison to SeaTac which immediately jumped to 65-80. That being said, anyone have any experiences from the Hanukkah storm here in Portland? I can't remember it, was it as weak as the peak gusts suggest?
