August 2019 Weather Discussion for the PNW

[Phil]

Just really no redeeming qualities to summer.

This this this this this this this this this this this this this.

[TT-SEA]

This this this this this this this this this this this this this.

 

 

Yeah... for you in the swamp.    Its typically heavenly here.  

 

But keep telling me to wish away our summer with highs in the 70s and low 80s and sunshine and all the fun activities that weather provides.    Never going to happen.  

[ShawniganLake]

This is misleading depending on the time frame you are looking at, but you already know that.

I assumed he was talking about the since mid March time frame

[Jesse]

Two points wrong with above: 110-130% (more than slightly) above average precipitation since June (two months) in Western WA and Western OR with over 200% (also more than slightly) above average precip for Eastern WA.

 

Don't make me turn this into another map war.

Good lord. Speaking of cherry picking.

 

For the period I was talking about in my original post (since mid-March) it has easily been drier than average. Near record driest in many cases. Same goes for April to present, May to present, etc. The fact that you guys with some sort of stolen summer point to prove have only one map from that site that you can grind your axe on kind of says it all. Why don’t you go play on Lake IHOP again.

[MossMan]

Yeah...Summer is awful.

[Jesse]

Yeah...Summer is awful.

Pretty sure that was taken in the Spring.

[ShawniganLake]

I think yesterday’s map war sort of showed that people saw what they wanted to see in them.

[Phil]

FWIW, I haven’t experienced a sub-100*F heat index afternoon since I left the PNW. Summer is indeed pointless.

 

It feels like 102*F here on campus today and *everyone* is sick of it. I can’t imagine how/why Tim enjoys this crap. No way he’s human.

[TT-SEA]

Yeah...Summer is awful.

 

 

Its a sad and depressing viewpoint... but you won't change opinions.     Some people just prefer darkness.    I am not one of those people.

Troll.

 

I don't live there.   I never experience that... and I have no interest in experiencing that.

 

My opinion of summer is based on normal summer here... not 3,000 miles away in the swamp.   

 

But you already know that.   

[Requiem]

I’m in Florence right now, mesoscales put some heavy-ish rain over me pretty soon.

[Jesse]

Now Phil’s chiming in with his completely unrelated humidity crap, so there goes any sort of rational discussion.

 

I like summer, for the record.

[Jesse]

At least you don’t seem to be under the illusion that this has been a wet summer regionally. Sometimes there’s facts and there isn’t, regardless of interpretation.

Windshield wipers activated

Depending on who was posting them, on a regional scale, some looked dry and some looked near normal.

Been just the right amount of wetness around my area!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Would be nice to have radar.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

GFS showing 0.5-0.75" here today. Would be nice, though definitely scaled back from the very bullish 00z run. 

[Jesse]

Normal is the new wet.

[ShawniganLake]

Heat potential is looking less extreme in the ensemble but it might stay warm to hot for awhile.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Absolutely pouring out there! Love it!!! Time for a smoke

[MossMan]

Second week of June so meteorological summer. But okay here is another god awful horrific scene taken two weeks ago.

Rational discussions only happen when Matt is around.

[jcmcgaffey]

Precip amounts ranging from .25” up to .7” north of Seattle. A lot of really good amounts up here.

Just let it go.

[ShawniganLake]

Yeah...Summer is awful.

Kids are funny. Good chance they would be doing the same thing if it was raining.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Rain looks slow to arrive for Portland.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I enjoyed summer in Oklahoma more than here. Some good weather action on occasion with t-storms and things stayed relatively green. 

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Share the rain man!

[High Desert Mat?]

Would be nice to have radar.

Working fine on the UW site.

[MossMan]

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Good thing the weather wasn't like this 2 years ago today.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

As of 11am

 

Astoria: 0.41"

Eugene: 0.10"

[TT-SEA]

Precip amounts ranging from .25” up to .7” north of Seattle. A lot of really good amounts up here.

 

And only .06 here with the sun peaking through the clouds now.

 

Although we might pick up more tonight when the flow turns westerly and a weak c-zone develops.

[Jesse]

That’s a really good point. Time flies.

[Jesse]

Euro shows five consecutive days in the 90s down here from Tuesday until the end of the month. Another top five warm August here we come.

 

Every August since 2014 has been in the top 5 warmest on record down here, for those following along at home.

[Jesse]

I would but it's cloudy and rainy and cold and all around crappy weather!

 

I sure wish we had some sunny, dry, hot summer weather!!      

Glad to see you address my other points.

[jakeinthevalley]

Would be nice to have radar.

Time for the web cam tour!

[Jesse]

I started to type out a more legit reply but figured why continue the circular discussion when I can just reply to your snarky, unnecessary comment at the end?

 

It's so much more fun that way!  

I respect a man who knows when he’s been beaten.
