August 2019 Weather Discussion for the PNW

[Kayla]

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.

 

Actually hits tripps on the 28th.

Is that what the kids are calling them these days? But yeah, should have said 90 or higher.

[Phil]

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.

I think Tim enjoys insane heat, whether or not he acknowledges it. Same with ShawniganLake.

 

I’ve never once seen either of them complain about heat. Ever.

Don't take your anger at nature out on me... I have nothing to do with your crappy weather.

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

Two maps posted. Epic war.

Nice day.

[Requiem]

Some pretty heavy rain pushing inland just north of Roseburg. Heading to Sunriver right now!

I like the novelty of it. We don’t get long stretches of 90s IMBY. Probably average 1 or 2 a year.

 

I was driving in the interior a few years back and the temp was 109. We stopped for lunch at a park by the river. I didn’t think it was that bad. My wife wasn’t a fan.

I’m not going to go back and look but I assume there was more than 2 comments about said maps. Tiny war!

I guess that’s part of why I’m generally not a fan of above average temperatures. They lost their novelty status a long time ago.

Pretty nice model whiff on this splitting front today. No measurable rain anywhere between Kelso and Salem so far. Looks like a few widely scattered showers for this afternoon.

It’s been raining lightly here for a bit. But looks like the bulk of moisture is now east of Portland. It just skimmed the metro area since it was coming in from the SSW.

 

Impressive moisture down in southern Oregon today.

Washington County donut hole yet again. Is this ever a surprise?

[Deweydog]

Payback for the unexpectedly phat totals a couple weekends ago.

Went out for lunch and not even a single drop. I should have known better.

[Omegaraptor]

Washington County got donut holed on 8/10 as well.

 

8/9 did deliver an unexpected thunderstorm here, however.

That sux.

Hopefully rainy season can start by Thanksgiving this year.

[Deweydog]

Sunbreaks!!!

[Jesse]

Sunbreaks!!!

I thought you’d turned a corner at first with the nice day comment earlier, but now it’s making more scents.

[El_Nina]

It would appear this is an under performer.

[Requiem]

Pouring here near Sunriver. Some super heavy and sustained rain.

[Jesse]

It would appear this is an under performer.

At least the mountains are getting a good soaking. Should help with fire danger during our field trip back to hell next week.

[Jesse]

It is crazy how wrong the models can get it in the short range sometimes, despite how far we’ve come along with forecasting. Mother Nature still rules.

Ironically... the 12km NAM had the right idea yesterday.

[Deweydog]

What’s this climate coming to when you can’t count on a region-wide soaking in August???

 

F*ck.

Settle down. I don’t think anyone has said anything along these lines.

[Jesse]

PDX could crack 75 today at this rate.

It can cut both ways! That was the good kind of bust.

[ShawniganLake]

Skies are clearing now. 0.33” of rain. More than I was expecting

[Jesse]

A solid quarter inch at EUG. Nice to see. They needed it a lot more than we did anyway.

[Omegaraptor]

Finally feeling some drops coming down.

[Timmy]

Finally raining a bit here

F*ck.

 

It did actually used to happen on occasion. Pretty easy to see the distinction between something like August 1968 and what would be possible in the current climate.

I’m beginning to get the feeling we’re living in a warming climate.

[Deweydog]

This calamity should take a little more of the edge off next week’s heat disaster.
