TT-SEA Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 It was mostly sunny everywhere I worked today except for a 2 minute hail shower in Ocean Shores, nowhere near cold and dark. I don't sugarcoat or skew things to suit my needs, it is what it is. The weather didn't turn until I was almost home this evening.Just saying you are a stoic person. Its an admirable trait. You live in a region that drives away transplants because of its bad weather overall. And yet you only say how nice it is there.

I will go out there for a huge storm sometimes or to visit the folks, but that is it. That sums up the situation... its very desirable to be close to the beach in most coastal regions but not the WA coast. Picture of a rainbow this afternoon. Very few breaks here. The flow was perfect to send in the rain all day and will be the same most of the week. Almost an inch of rain here today and 8 inches for the month.

We stopped there on the way to Quinault Lodge in the summer of 2012... after a short and disappointing stay in Ocean Shores. Its nice in that very small community. Not sure it will ever take off though given the weather there.

Timmy Supercell Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I walked right by that very spot a week and a half ago. It was 65 degrees and the sun was setting. It swings wildly around here. You never know what next week will bring! I'm sure the winter lovers enjoyed today. Graupel, sunbreaks every 30 minutes, and evening snow is their perfect April day.

TT-SEA Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Spring seems to mean sitting inside most evenings even though its light out well past 8 p.m. watching it rain while also watching the Mariners implode and prove once again that any optimism was unwarranted! I think I have come to dislike March - May more than the dead of winter around here. I am sure Jim is right there with me on this one.

TT-SEA Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 00Z GFS is very different than previous runs for next week. Seems to still get to a point where the pattern quiets down dramatically though. Hopefully that theme can hang on.

He will only use blue when he is forced to in the (relatively) short range. Of course he has to illustrate what the models are overwhelmingly indicating when it is staring him right in the face. When the forecast is longer range (ie his ridiculous Summer forecast) he goes pretty crazy with the red, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just wanted more blue. You hate warm weather and its really tough for you to separate your emotion from your responses.

While being spared from snow wasn't necessarily good for the mountains, I certainly enjoyed it. Had 55 / 33 today. Rain started in the late afternoon, it appears to now be breaking up a bit.

TT-SEA Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 SEA is now at 18.99 inches of rain for the February-April period. This is now officially the wettest February-April period ever at SEA. The previous record was 18.97 inches set in 1972. Obviously with 6 days to go the record will be padded some more... its raining at SEA now. SEA is also already above normal for April with 3.29 inches. In 1972 (a year with a developing strong Nino)... the tide turned right as May began with much better weather. It only rained on 7 days that month at my location which was vast improvement over the the previous 3 months. Numerous days in the 70s here in May of 1972... and peak temp of 95 towards the end of the month. I wonder if maybe some ridging would be the next logical pattern evolution despite Jesse's protests??

TT-SEA Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Possible scenario... we essentially begin the warm season next week with a warm May - August period. And then with a strong Nino developing... we have an early and chilly fall culminating in our usual December cold/snowy spell typical of a Nino. Then a mild spring next year. Just a thought. One that Jesse might be able to get behind. Update... SEA up to 19.06 inches now and crossing the 19-inch threshold for the first time in history for the Feb-Apr period.
