September 2019 Weather Discussion for the PNW

[GHweatherChris]

Did not actually complain that much... was much more debate. I did not even care if people enjoyed it. Regardless of opinion... the duration was highly unusual.

 

That being said... just 4 or 5 more days in there with the normal afternoon clearing and that entire month-long period would not have seemed that unusual. The persistence was the annoying part.

You complained more than you are willing to admit. You rivaled some of your best/worst bitching from years ago at times. I am not the only one by far that would say that.

Not really.     We had some nice weekends in there and we headed east a couple times.     The debates were 95% of the posts on the topic.   Just like this post.   

 

We can make another 100 posts on the topic tonight with no complaints from me and just a single observation on the summer.

Good Labor Day Lord.

Tim is putting a lot of hooks out right now.

Nice day today. Hit 81F

Looking pretty gross for the Seahawks first home game. 00Z ECMWF shows widespread light rain and highs in the 60s on Sunday.

looks like fall is beginning early next week on the gfs.

[TacomaWaWx]

Morning low of 55 this morning in Tacoma.

[Requiem]

So...it’s both my first day of senior year and my birthday. So yay! On a more weather-related note, GFS shows a thunderstorm outbreak in Central Oregon within a couple days.

[ShawniganLake]

Today is the 3rd day of Fall

[Blizzard777]

Happy Birthday K12 and take in that last year of School before moving into the big league of College!

 

Chilly 54* and clear

They are men, they can handle it.

haha yeah well it’s still feeling pretty summery the last couple days here. Next couple days look nice as well.

[MossMan]

I really need to get going on finishing the drainage project on my property before the endless rains come back. This summer has flown by.

The way that troughing keeps getting delayed I wouldn’t bet on it.

 

On the bright side it looks like we avoid some of the heat that was originally hinted at for this week.

[Jesse]

Clear and 56 here this morning.

Clowney will be regretting his decision.

[Brian_in_Leavenworth]

Clowney will be regretting his decision.

Clowney said he wanted to get away from the heat in Houston.

[MossMan]

Clowney said he wanted to get away from the heat in Houston.

He did say that about 3 times during his press conference.

[Timmy Supercell]

Nice chilly lows in the low 40's last few days. And it's taking longer to reach highs now, so inching closer to fall..

 

No fog yet. Probably beginning of October I see more of it.

[TT-SEA]

Looking more like just a transitory trough and a return to ridging next week.

 

Hope it works out. September ridges are usually beautiful.

Good football weather.

Good football weather.

 

Wonder if the Hawks play better in the rain?

My yard is ready but just when you think you’ve won the war Mother Nature humbles you!

My weather machine is fully operational and reporting the right data to the weather sites and my apps thanks to the Davis tech guy!

Ready for a very active season!!!

I've had a few years where September was actually my driest month. 

[Jesse]

Warm days and cool evenings, I love it. I would figure some of the cold guys would like it too as September and October snow in Alaska bode well for us later on... in a very unscientific way that weirdly works.

 

Stormy, early hitting falls locally have a pretty good track record too. 

[TacomaWaWx]

Gfs still looks a bit rainy early next week. Warmer temps following after that headed into mid September.

[TacomaWaWx]

I’m hoping for a stormy early hitting fall as well, but I wouldn’t mind getting some nice weather in September either imo. Hopefully this rain pans out early next week.

Well that’s probably not in the cards this year, so I suppose it’s on to the Siberian Snowcover/October psychic pattern hoodoo stuff. Lol.

[Timmy Supercell]

Last time I had a nocturnal storm in September (not counting mid summer) was on 09/17/2013, so that's a pretty uncommon occurrence in K-Falls.

 

 

Most likely it won't be as exciting as the one I had on 08/10, chances of stronger convection sharply drop this time of year.

[Deweydog]

Happy summer!

[Phil]

Lol

Probably not for the reasons you think. Wavelengths are quite long/winter-like for so early in the season..but given the structure of the (intraseasonal) tropical forcing and seasonal cycle, the result should be of the warm/dry variety in the NW to open the autumn season.

 

If we had a more summer-like wavetrain right now, the result would likely be of the cool/troughy variety. Or at least more-so than what is upcoming for this subseasonal interval.

Thanks for the explanation. I guess it’s not like we aren’t used to ridging.

[Jesse]

Ensembles aren’t terrible.

So a dry fall in the cards?

[TT-SEA]

73 and sunny here... gorgeous morning with some instability clouds to the east.
