There was that day a couple weeks ago we stayed in the 50s, oh but I think PDX got up to around 70 that day. :(

Tough to walk a fine line between loving cool anomalies and being totally catty to PDX posters. You walk it well though Andrew. ;)

The shower seems to be weakening right after it spawns so I guess we need to wait for the next one to get some rumbling. Radar looks nice

The cell to my north looks like it's going to miss my area.   Hearing distant thunder for quite awhile and power just flickered but sun is trying to come back out now.

89 degrees currently! Haven’t heard anything yet but my noise sensitive dog definitely knows it’s coming…

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!

Up to 93! And I see quite a number of corroborating stations in NE Seattle. UW up to 91 as well. It's HOT.

KSEA seems to be back in the sun as well with a jump on the interobs to 88.

Had .35 inches of rain between 2-3:30. For my semi arid climate, I will certainly take it.

Big time lightning here on Snoqualmie ridge at the golf tourney. This photo from my golf cart. It screwed up my phone when taking  IMG_7397.thumb.png.dd0a3a9be21d0dd2381e55473c9a63fe.png

Wow!

How many Mississippi's between the flash and the boom?  I've had once instance of it being almost simultaneous while outside.  Not a good feeling.

Managed 5 minutes of large rain drops that barely wet the driveway with a cell that formed right overhead.   Lots blue sky to the east now.    Good news is there was no flash flooding with that cell.  👍
