August 2019 Weather Discussion for the PNW

[Dave]

The lack of convection down here is annoying. At least there is a sh1tload of cfb tonight.

[MossMan]

Feeling quite humid all of a sudden.

[High Desert Mat?]

Really humid for this desert climate today. Relatively speaking of course Phil, but to have it stay in low 70’s most of the night and rh to be around 70 was really unpleasant to sleep in. I woke up and turned in the ac. Then it t-stormed this morning around 9 and it felt like I was in a shower at home. Bring me fall already and the lala land snow chances.

No need to justify it, brother. We can both agree humidity sucks, irrespective of the technicalities.

[Omegaraptor]

Bring me fall so I can actually see rainfall on some sort of consistent basis.

 

Only 2.5 more months until rainy season starts.

Agreed. Humidity is worse than eating a bag of dicks. I've been to DC 3 times and it was always during the summer. It's hard to describe to people that haven't experienced it how awful it can be. Hope you can get out of there soon.

[TT-SEA]

Not looking too promising out here.

2.5 months seems a little on the pessimistic side.

[Blizzard777]

Kind of a gyp South Sound. Sky looked primed and impressive

Shower came close but still no precipitation here. Temp took a dive 77* to current 67.7*

[Phil]

[MossMan]

Looking a little ominous as I look to the sky. Wind picking up as well.

[Blizzard777]

Brothers getting some nice T-Storms in La Pine Or.

Currently raining now

65*

[Blizzard777]

ALEXA....rain and thunder sounds

[TacomaWaWx]

Wow what a day here, lots of thunder both distant and some close rumbles. Saw a few strikes out to the west from Tacoma. Main story has been the very heavy rain the last hour, up to 0.40” on the day and still coming down!

Nice!

 

Glad to see the models were correct in showing the additional development this afternoon after the morning activity faded away to the south.

 

Nothing at all here... no rain yet and no distance lightning or thunder.    It was actually partly to mostly sunny for much of the day.

[MossMan]

Shotty has a wet head.

[ShawniganLake]

Pretty decent onshore push here now. Should help to stabilize things and make sure we just see some plain old rain showers tonight

Yeah models seem to have done a decent job. Hasn’t been any thunder since about 5:30pm here but we’ve gotten 0.43” now since about 6pm, up to 1.49” for August.

There's almost no wind here now, getting some showers stretching into Victoria now; the radar looks more impressive to the west. Looks like a bit of rotation around that thing, deformation band forming.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Some historical perspective on what Dorian could bring.

 

The Weather Channel @weatherchannel

 

If the current forecast for #Dorian is correct, the United States will have three straight years with a major #hurricane landfall (Category 3 or stronger). That hasn't happened in nearly 60 years

Rain.

[Deweydog]

Hour 384!

[TT-SEA]

West Palm Beach special on Monday afternoon per the 00Z ECMWF...

 

[TT-SEA]

00Z ECMWF manages to hit the entire SE US coastline with Dorian...

 

[Jesse]

Low of 66 at PDX today. Now that’s a record warm MIN. They will probably set one tomorrow too. Falling fruit!

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Down to 61F. Another beautiful day yesterday. More of the same and lots of CFB this weekend!

[Frontal Snowsquall]

West Palm Beach special on Monday afternoon per the 00Z ECMWF...

 

Also called the "Mar-a-Lago".

[ShawniganLake]

Didn’t see any rain here overnight. Very mild with a low of 63F this morning

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Always great to see 1949-50 show up.

 

Philip Klotzbach @philklotzbach

 

#HurricaneDorian is forecast to make landfall in FL as a Category 4. It would be 3rd year in a row w/ Cat. 4+ FL hurricane landfall. FL has had Cat. 4 hurricane landfalls in 3+ consecutive years once on record (since 1851). Cat. 4 #hurricanes made landfall each year from 1947-50

 

Hurricane Irma made landfall in the Florida Keys as a Category 4 in 2017 and Michael as a Category 5 in the Florida Panhandle in 2018.

 

Four category 4 hurricanes made landfall in south Florida from 1947 - 1950. There was also a Category 4 landfall in south Florida in 1945.

Cloudy and it looked like it had rained overnight here in Ellensburg. Currently 70.

[GHweatherChris]

Why in the hell are we discussing a SE hurricane in a NW thread?

[ShawniganLake]

Next week is starting to look pretty warm in the models.

Only about 0.04" here last night.

[GHweatherChris]

Lol

[Blizzard777]

Because it is the will of Landru ..... are you not of the body?

 

For me, I enjoy discussing weather of any kind wherever. It’s feeds my knowledge base as well as feeds my passion for trying to understand our environment.

[Blizzard777]

I got 0.03 precipitation only so everything yesterday just slid past me

65* currently cloudy

[Omegaraptor]

12z GFS shows a bit more of a northerly track.
