Finished mowing. Days like today are why I moved here from the southeast. This view doesn’t hurt either. I might be the minority but I love the warm May. Hopefully we get relief in June/July with a little moisture.

NOAA forecast discussion mentions how models underplay the moisture in setups like this. This UW GFS run is interesting. Convection fires up over WW late in the evening and again at 5am in what would be a memorable event. image.thumb.gif.a4f9307c0916b97ee2ead8f69bd1fa6c.gifimage.thumb.png.2de94e6d1b0eace37adfb45106bb7c00.png

I wonder if that will slip north as we get closer the way snow events do in the winter 😁

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

84.7 here now. Looks like I’m in one of the coolest spots that’s not near the water. North Bend is up to 92 now. 🥵

93 at PDX today. 92 here. Silly stuff. Gusty east winds and severe clear. You can almost see the snow flash melting when you look at the cascade peaks.

The crazy thing is we could see another day or two of 90s tomorrow and Monday. Then we have another shot later next week.

Not quite a record at SLE today. They hit 94 back in 1939. I haven’t checked, all time warm May on our bingo card this year?

I saw HIO apparently hit 92 yesterday in 1939 and didn’t set a daily record. However PDX only hit 86 that day. Pre-1960 HIO data kind of smells of overexposure.

I was a little curious to see the low pressure system that will be undercutting the high pressure system. It looks like some dry air is making its way to the West side before a little bit more moist air comes back to the West side again. We'll have a better focus on how much thunderstorms we could see the next couple of days. 

As you can see, a lot of the Portland area either tied or broke a record today. Those temperatures we before 5pm so those temperatures could have increased a little but I was impressed with Astoria's high. It was set the year when Titanic sank 😳 over a 100 years 😳
