Starting next week, the EPS resolution doubles from 18km to 9km, and the weeklies will run everyday!

Big upgrade.

Off to my bachelor party

Let me guess your itinerary:

Book club meeting, dinner at a vegan restaurant, coffee and dessert with a few close friends, and then off to bed so you can be up early to volunteer at a soup kitchen. 
 

Am I close?

[TT-SEA]

Can see convection just starting now towards the Cascades.

Now you get to see what I suffer through every Jul-Sep.

If you haven’t experienced real humidity before, you will sweat like the dickens. And then some.

I have family that lives in Alabama and I’ve been there a few times in the summer so I know what real humidity is like. I could not imagine having to deal with that heat all summer. The heat index’s that Texas has been having are absolutely sickening. Dallas even broke it’s all time record high dew point.

[FroYoBro]

Going into our classic summer season with some classic highs in the 80’s. Pretty D**n nice, but let’s hope it doesn’t turn extreme in July. 

[T-Town]

Storms building over the Olympics. Can really see the haze now as well. 

[YahRaEl]

Storms firing up in the cascades 

[YahRaEl]

I think of we see any storm development down in the lowlands of Northern Willamette Valley and Puget Sound it and be between 5-10pm chances are low in the lowlands and would probably here and there pop up storms 

[TT-SEA]

12Z EPS... steady with a very slight upward trend later in the run.

[Doinko]

Looking to the northwest

 

[Port Angeles Foothiller]

Over the Olympics. 
 

[Doinko]

Latest HRRR brings some storms right over Portland


NAM too, some around Seattle as well

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Definitely a marine push on the west side of the valley. I see Corvallis is only 69, and driving down to Albany I noticed some marine clouds starting to spill over the coast range. 

[Doinko]

Strong storm near St Helens

 

[Ken in Wood Village]

Not liking the flow, I really don't want to storm chase There is a nice thunderstorm just West of St. Helens. 

[Phil]

3.2” of rain in the last hr. And over 5” in the last 5 days. Already made up half of the rainfall deficit.  

All my whining is starting to look silly in hindsight.

[Ken in Wood Village]

I believe that is the thunderstorm that's West of St. Helens. I'm looking NW from the Gresham area 

[Omegaraptor]

NNW from Tigard. The thing on the right is the thing over Columbia County I’m pretty sure

[Ken in Wood Village]

If you look closely, you can see a spin just off the Columbia River along the Washington and Oregon coast. I think that's what creating these thunderstorms. It's interesting, clouds are starting to form around my place. I took a picture of the thunderstorm close to St. Helen's and that cloud wasn't there then and now it's there. I wonder if it's going to be one of those days we're thunderstorms will pop up anywhere and you won't know it until it on top of you

This is a massive, juicy, pulsating W

[Ken in Wood Village]

The clouds around my location are starting to have structure. Let's see how this plays out

[Blizzard777]

 

 

Time lapse depleted my battery life and missed a lot of the forming storm…..ugh. Nice hike and view.  Enjoyed the rumbles as I hiked back to my car 

 

[Ken in Wood Village]

It's interesting how this thunderstorm is moving. I thought it would moving East/NE but it's moving more SE. There was a lightning strike

[MV_snow]

Some nice cells down towards Eatonville. Where’s the southerly steering flow when it’s needed?

[Phil]

There was a 1-2 minute stretch where it was pouring on the other side of the street but barely drizzling here. Got it on video too!

That happens every now and then but never for that long. 

[Ken in Wood Village]

If you look really closely, just South of this thunderstorm you can see an outflow. It's very faint but it's there. Wonder what that means for thunderstorm growth  

[Ken in Wood Village]

Another storm is forming a little South of the first storm. I think the energy in the atmosphere is moving South. I think new storms will develop as the day goes on. 

[Blizzard777]

Hmmmmm

Not Cascadia Hot Dog Co?

[MossMan]

Good job mom! Her teens were not back talking, complaining, listening to crappy new country, smoking pot, nothing but happily hanging out together when I was covering the boat. 

[TT-SEA]

81 for a high at SEA.

[T-Town]

This is the storm near Eatonville. 

[HuskyMaestro]

Was not expecting a severe thunderstorm warning in Fife upon opening the TWC app. Eatonville’s poppin off right now. 

[Ken in Wood Village]

Like I said in a previous post, the energy seems to be moving South. You can see a shower/thunderstorm forming close to downtown Portland. 

[SnowySeeker50]

Something is brewing south..

[SunAndSnow]

Here come the clouds!
