PNA…Since I haven’t looked for the last few weeks. 

[TT-SEA]

65 degrees here with barely a cloud in the sky.    Taking time to be outside and get some sun.   Our cottonwoods have taken on their summer look now with deep green, glossy leaves all filled out.    The big leaf maples are the only trees left without leaves now (always the slowest)... but they have very large buds so it shouldn't be too much longer.

[Phishy Wx]

yep we're leafing out too, really kicked into high gear over the weekend.

the apple trees I was afraid were dead after the early killing freezes last year (leaves just shriveled up dead and stuck to the tree all winter) just started blooming too (and finally dropped the dead leaves from last year) so weird

About the same conditions here. The cottonwoods were very fragrant from balsam over the weekend (the warm temperatures were really helping it volatilize).

[LowerGarfield]

74F now.

55 at Eugene.

Sunny and 74F here.  About average for a July day.  

[Phishy Wx]

up to 77 with about 3 ish more hours of heating.  might get there

Nice S/N gradient today. Basically everywhere Salem northward is 60 or higher. 57 in Corvallis, 54 Roseburg, and just 52 in Grants Pass.

On the eastside it is 61 at Bend, 57 at Sunriver, and 45 at Klamath Falls.

Up to 70 now... but feels like 80 on the deck.    Good enough for me.    

[Deweydog]

I don’t know what the temperature is at my current location but I feel confident on giving a range of 55-65.

[TT-SEA]

Our lilacs are finally starting to bloom... about 2 weeks later than usual.

[Phishy Wx]

getting close to a record, up to 83

 

edit: ties the record of 83, let's see if we break it

Next warm spell should be well in sight by early next week which will make it a little more palatable. 

[Phishy Wx]

Round 2 tonight

Dogwoods are just starting to bloom in Vancouver. Normally an April thing.

Prayers up. Hopefully we’ll be able to recover after the four days of troughing coming up.

My eyes and nose are feeling the bloomage.

It was 73F at 4pm and we opened the windows. Looks like in SE WA as well as Lewiston, it's been about five degrees cooler than expected.

[LowerGarfield]

Really clouding up...t-storms expected later. Glad it wasn't too hot today.

[TT-SEA]

SEA will not have a May without reaching 70.  Did it on the second day.  Small victories.   Still have the mess that was last May in my mind.    

[MossMan]

Went from 50’s to hot in an hour! Scorching here at soccer practice! 

[TT-SEA]

So glad we got a couple warm days this week... the ECMWF shows highs struggling to reach 50 in Seattle on Friday and Saturday.    That is vomit-worthy in May.

How does the 18z Euro lightning map look like for the storms Wednesday and Thursday morning?

[LowerGarfield]

My wife said we had a little rain in the gauge. I thought maybe a trace so I didn't investigate until now. We had about a third of an inch .32 or .33. It must've been last night but I haven't seen it rain here the last few days and I didn't hear anything last night. But I know I checked it on Sunday and yesterday was clear all day.

Nothing tomorrow morning... but Thursday morning looks pretty crazy down there.

+AMO is off the charts now. Analogous to the Pacific/+NPMM horseshoe back in 2015.

Would be nice to have another 2015-like summer here. 

[Doinko]

Looks like Hillsboro had a random gust to 36mph this morning. How did that happen?
