Frontal Snowsquall Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hillsboro got down to 3°F in January 2017 (thank snow cover). PDX only got to 11. Not sure if this was pure UHI or if something else was at work (ie east winds), can someone confirm? I don’t think UHI alone can produce an 8°F difference unless we’re talking about a megacity here, which Portland is not.That was the coldest day I ever experienced in my life. Hillsboro only made it up to 25 that day for an insane -26 departure. HIO finished -6.9 for the month but it was still a full degree warmer than PDX which finished at -7.9.

TT-SEA Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 Smokg.A little smog and moisture and probably many other sources. And even so... it looks like a perfectly normal summer evening in Seattle. We have genuinely thick brown haze and bad air quality during winter inversions with no wildfires within thousands of miles and everyone on here seems to love those. And the last rain event actually ushered in the worst of the haze which has slowly faded since Saturday morning.

TT-SEA Posted August 7, 2019 Report Share Posted August 7, 2019 To see the ecmwf weekelies do you need to pay a subscription? 80s and or 90s? warm? There is no specific temperature output... it just shows warm surface temp anomalies for us for the most part through the middle of September. Phil said the ECMWF weeklies have a warm bias with surface temps though. Still... there is no real cold air anywhere near us on the latest run for the second half of August into September.
