Evening out from the favorable timing earlier this warm season.

 

 

I thought the favorable timing earlier this warm season was nature trying to be kind during the period when it was basically completely cloudy here for 24 out of 30 days... I did not know that was a debt that had to be re-paid.    :unsure:

I think we can all use a nice evening out once in a while. Perhaps a nice dinner at Applebee’s followed by standing outside Domebuster’s bedroom window while he has coitus.

 

 

Feelin' good in the neighborhood!

Here is Saturday at 5 p.m. per the ECMWF... low clouds hang tough all day except for the usual spots around Victoria and south of Portland where all-day low clouds are virtually unknown in the warm season and they don't even know what we are talking about.   ;)

ECMWF is trending a little warmer for Tuesday again... it once showed 100 for Portland and then down to 84 on the next run and now back into the low 90s.

12Z ECMWF also shows a decent band of rain on Wednesday morning up north and on Vancouver Island which falls apart as it moves inland that day... but it knocks the temps way down.

 

Then it quickly turns warm again.

Doubt it. Been horrific and it sadly looks to continue. Not our year.

 

 

Unless we are mimicking Scotland or southern Iceland... its pretty horrific.     The weather in the summer in Portland is usually exactly like Scotland.

He’s had to go a little more Victorian since he was trespassed from just about every highway rest stop in the tri-state area.

I went to the movies with Pee Wee Herman back in the 90s as well.

Been a few days since I’ve seen the gfs. Looks pretty wet for coastal BC through day 10. Rain on day 7 for western WA too.

We could use some rain I guess. The main stations on southern Vancouver Island have less than 0.2” so far in August. Shawnigan Lake scored a heavy shower one night and is close to 0.5”. Cowichan Lake is about to drop below the outflow level for the river, which would be a first. The plan is to pump water from the lake into the river to keep it flowing and save the ecosystem.

wow I’m surprised that the lake is that low. I don’t follow the exact rain totals of BC normally, I assumed BC and Vancouver island were doing alright with recent rains.

Nice to be back at home in Tacoma. Sunny and 73 degrees here. Was pretty cloudy most of the drive back from the goat rocks, sun seemed to start to break through here about when I arrived.

Yet another drier than normal warm season is virtually assured at this point.

People I know and talk to keep saying this has been a wet cool summer. Kind of hard to explain actual weather information to people who don’t understand and follow it as closely as I do lol. Definitely not wet at all. The normal astronomical summer has been a bit below average to average, but in terms of the warm season May-September it’s been pretty dry.

And yet... most of King County has managed to be significantly wetter than normal through the heart of summer which helps offset the effects of a dry spring.

18z GFS shows a little thinner cloud cover on Sunday than the 12z did. Temps a few degrees warmer.

 

It is the 18z though, so...

 

 

It looks almost exactly like the 12Z ECMWF for Sunday... might be a little afternoon sun that day.    Not much hope for Saturday... and I suspect tomorrow might be the same.

Sure. But the overall late spring through summer period that has been so dry in recent years? That hasn't changed this year.

      My mom pushed the "all A's" thing, which was pretty tough with my un-diagnosed learning disability. I pretty much knew I had it and went to my mom to try to get help, but she said I was just lazy. I managed to get into the "gifted" program in high school, and my teacher in the program tried to get me on the right track but I had already given up. At one point she she told me that while she could not tell me my IQ score, she said it was pretty incredible. I feel bad, in hindsight she was really invested in trying to help me succeed, and I didn't care. I ended up failing a core class senior year and graduated a "C" student with a "basic" high school diploma (most of the class got a "college prep" diploma). I showed up for my SAT hung over and I think I barely cracked 1000. It took me until the age of 47 to get my college degree. I finally got a proper diagnosis on the learning disability at the age of 30. For our kids, we told them to do their best, and if a C was their best, and they sought help from the school and asked us for help, then we would be perfectly happy with that. One kid didn't do so well that philosophy, but the other did have that scenario and "had the receipts": He asked us for help, kept in communication with us about his struggles, and when the final grade came in, there really wasn't any discussion or drama about it. I think he was harder on himself about it than we were.
