[MossMan]

Already back into the 50’s (57) after a high of 78. 
Ripped out a vine maple and salal that was taking over, was toasty in the sun. Will be putting a few things in there that will look better. Oh and my dog had a very busy day…

[Deweydog]

Delightful evening. Great weather for saying goodbye to summer 2023.

I am sure that's a place any reasonable person and their family would avoid unless they want to be the victim of a DUI or sexual assault.

Huh what? 

He was making a blanket negative statement about college kids... worth mentioning he was once a college kid too.

Were you on the river with WSU kids celebrating the end of the school year? 

Apparently my son is there because he sent me pics.  

That looks like Wawawai Landing. We went on a hike there in March. Wow that place looks packed! We went to Hells Gate State Park, which was very quiet in the morning. There was a county fair just upriver on the opposite bank though.

[MossMan]

It really cooled off this evening!! 

[ShawniganLake]

Getting pretty dry up in central and northern BC.  

 

this fire is close to 400ac now with evacuation alerts issued

Had a low of 44. Currently 48 and cloudy. 

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Super-mild overnight; low of only 53.8˚F. Got up to 78.1 yesterday. Increasing clouds this afternoon mean today should be cooler.

Looks like you got the plow hooked up again in quick order... nice job!  

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Cloudy with drizzle. 

[MossMan]

Sky is bubbly over the Target parking lot. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Light rain now. This is nice. 

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Was only partly cloudy at daybreak. Now mostly cloudy.

Just checked the forecast and today’s high should be about 20˚F cooler than yesterday’s. First heat wave and first marine push of the season.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Blessings detected on 12z run. 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

54F and some occasional showers.

[MossMan]

Smoke season is here! 
I still do not get the urge to go out on the first non wet weekend and attempt to burn wet stuff… Guess my outdoor plans are forced to change today.

[Cascadia_Wx]

Ended up with an 84/56 spread here yesterday. The low was at midnight as onshore gradients increased.

Mostly cloudy with some spotty drizzle and 54 out now after a low of 50. Feels very refreshing.

You need to get over it.

I guess we all just need to get over the smoky season in general then. No more complaining about smoke from anyone on the forum from here on out!

Not a bad morning out here ahead of the ULL offshore.

[Phishy Wx]

82 yesterday, 83 today, which will be a record.  more 80s this week before rain T-storms?? and a cool down back to the 60s

[Phishy Wx]

[Blizzard777]

Some stellar 12z runs. Starting to look like we may not take the 2018 path this May.

12Z ECMWF only shows around an inch of rain for the Seattle area over the next 10 day.

You can see the MJO in action on the EPS... big trough over the eastern half of the country to start then next round moves down along the west coast and the next round after that is back around the Bering Sea.    Watch for the next warm spell somewhere between May 10-20.

Some nice variety. Implies some convection as well

[Cascadia_Wx]

Nice looking 12z EPS. Some good variety with warm day and cool days and plenty of precip/convective chances. What May is all about.

Yep. And the warm days are just that, normal warm days, a few degrees above average. Not much torching at the sfc.

Next 10 days should be fairly normal overall... maybe even wetter than normal.    I also think a mid-May warm spell is pretty likely.     The late April warm spell tracked very nicely with the MJO.
