August 2019 Weather Discussion for the PNW

[Jesse]

Looks like PDX ended up with .20" today. Nice.

 

Close to .30" here.

[BLI snowman]

No... you jumped on me for making that prediction about summer at a time when it was usually dry and sunny even here.  

 

You are making generalizations now and disregarding the actually timing.  

 

You're not actually citing anything specific or substantive. If you want to talk about generalizing 

[Deweydog]

What are we talking about???

 

I wanna get in on this. I’m four Moscow Mules in...

The good news is the radar should soon be up and working until our next snow threat.

[Jesse]

How Tim is horribly mistreated here despite being a pillar of reason and intellectual integrity and how the cold freaks are a bunch of foul mouthed malcontents. Go!

[ShawniganLake]

With today’s rain behind us, and barring some late August model collapse, this still looks like it will be the 11th consecutive drier than normal summer at Shawnigan Lake.

Who’s Tim?

 

Did anyone go to the Katy Perry show at Century Link?

[Jesse]

No. Too dry for fireworks up there.

[GHweatherChris]

Was there anyone actually saying it didn't happen or wasn't happening? I don't remember that.

 

There might have been people saying that stretch was a little more normal/not as totally unprecedented for your microclimate as you were making it out to be, or that you were overreacting a tad with the hourly diary entries outlining the whole miserable saga. But both of those things are true, of course.

Ya, Tim actually has convinced himself he wasn't being a whiny little child during that whole period, he hasn't been that bad in years and yet he believes it was all a debate, gimme a break!

Weird Al was in Victoria tonight. I didn’t go to that either.

I would have gone to see him before Perry.

Chris actually convinces himself he has a purpose on this forum other than to desperately troll Tim and Phil.

Doesn't mean he isn't right sometimes.

Same could be said for all of us.

[Jesse]

I don’t think Dome Buster has ever been right.

[El_Nina]

I don’t think Dome Buster has ever been right.

Right-Wing.

[Requiem]

Intense conversations abound tonight. On another note, heat wave potential still very much there for later this month into early September.

It is summer, nothing else interesting to contribute on here, keep on deflecting though.

00Z runs seem to have backed off a bit for the time being.

GFS seems the same-ish, but I haven’t checked the EURO yet...

[El_Nina]

Really disappointed I wasn't able to get the rain guage working again before today. Sounds like we've had quite a bit so far if the gutters are any indicator.

[Jesse]

Euro delays the start but still gets there by day 10.

[Deweydog]

Already told you guys...

[TigerWoodsLibido]

64F and cloudy in downtown Springfield.

[TacomaWaWx]

Picked up some decent rainfall last night back at home it seems. Had 0.37” yesterday and another 0.07” last night to go up to 0.44”. Now up to 1.06” for August and 2.22” for the summer, average meteorological summer rainfall is 2.25” so we’re on track officially.

[TacomaWaWx]

06z gfs seems to like the idea of slowly warming us up to the upper 80s by late next week then some rain pushing into the area next weekend on 8/31 still.

[TT-SEA]

Looks like .84 out here in the Snoqualmie Valley... rain has been spread out all summer.     First time in 15 years that we will not need to water the lawn or landscaping plants at all for the entire summer.

 

 

 

 

SEA is at 200% of normal for August... but PDX has that beat with over 300% of normal.

 

And then you have OLM which is only .16 above normal.

Never got more than 2 weeks in a row without rain this summer. July and August being overly wet definitely has helped offset the effect of a dry start to 2019.

[Omegaraptor]

Cold start out here in Hillsboro. Got down to the mid 40s! Feels like Autumn.

There is indeed quite a bit of chill to the air outside. Feels like cold season air almost with the slightly crisp/slightly wet feeling.

[Jesse]

Got down 51 here this morning with partially clear skies. Definitely the most “fallish” feeling morning of the late summer so far, especially with the smell of recently fallen rain in the air.

[TacomaWaWx]

Looks like a pretty good band of rain set up last night from about south tacoma/spanaway east to enumclaw. Several stations reported 1.25”+ across that stretch.

Only got down to 55 in Tacoma last night with the cloud cover and precipitation.

[Timmy]

Only ended up with .01 here, I’ll admit it felt move more wet than that, we have several straight hours of mist which only amounted to a trace each hour.

Thank you for admitting that... I am sure that took courage.  

[El_Nina]

Wonder if I can post my sunflowers this morning

[Timmy Supercell]

Woke up to a small bank of fog in the suburbs in K-Falls. None at my house but I'm pretty sure that was my first sight of August fog ever.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Rained well into the night. Ended up with 0.40" which is not bad for August. Total for the month up to 0.60" now. Pleasant morning with clearing skies and temps in the upper 40s. I left the windows open and the house cooled to 61 overnight. Best sleep in months. 

[ShawniganLake]

Cloudy with a low of 56 here this morning.

[Omegaraptor]

On I-5 south of Eugene now. I can see yesterday’s rain on the side of the road. Also there’s a marine layer down here.

[El_Nina]

Surprised nobody has been talking about the fires in the Amazon here. Looks like the lungs of the earth are gonna start looking like Tiger's and I's pretty soon.
