More lightning coming out of this storm. It looks like Milwaukee is going to be hit hard by this storm. I actually work in Milwaukee...lol

Sky looks dark to my north! Hope you’re right.

Looks like some heavy hail there

 

[T-Town]

No rain here today so far. Once I light the grill it should come. 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Up to 65F. Mostly sunny.

[Ken in Wood Village]

My sister sent me this picture from a friend I think from that storm.

[TT-SEA]

Looked it up... it was 53 and raining in North Bend on Christmas afternoon.    It was 52 and raining on Father's Day afternoon.    Not many places at our latitude can have the same weather near the winter and summer solstice.    Interesting aspect of our climate. 

[Ken in Wood Village]

I will admit, I've been very impressed with this storm for the Portland area. Now there is very heavy precipitation just to my south and east. 

[TT-SEA]

Meanwhile we are sitting on the deck here in Bellingham and its perfectly comfortable in the sun.    Barely a cloud in the sky now.

Troutdale’s 0.75” figure is thorougly impressive. Nearly half their average monthly rainfall in one day.

I’m not sure anywhere else can at that latitude. Maybe a few places in Europe?

It was 6 degrees here on Christmas Eve, lol. Little did I know the rest of winter would be an unmitigated blowtorch like no other in recorded history.

18z GFS keeps the dream alive of this not being our last significant precip for the next 3-4 months.

It was 18 degrees here with 40 mph winds just a few days before Christmas Eve. Don’t see anything like that on my weather.com phone app for at least the next 7-10 days.

[Cascadia_Wx]

What an incredible day here. Showers kept training over the Portland/Vancouver area keeping things rainy, cloudy and cool much of the afternoon. 

57/51 spread here, with over 2/3” of rain so far. Big time overperformer both for rain and cool temps which is so vanishingly rare in the warm season these days. Even PDX had a high of 58 so far, which if it holds will be one of their cooler days for so late in the season.

I’m guessing there are spots in the British Isles that can do it. Maybe some areas of the NW coast of France and the Low Countries too.

Here is a report from NWS. 

[Doinko]

Really nice evening at the Vancouver waterfront

 

[TT-SEA]

My mom is not able to maintain a garden now... but she loves her tomato plants on the deck and they are doing great.   

Wind has basically died here now and its so pleasant.    You would never know how stormy it is all around us.

Depends on what is meant by “same weather” - if foehn winds count you can get pretty far north. After all a foehn day in Brookings in December can be warmer than the vast majority of summer days there.

Here’s a spot at 70°N in eastern Greenland with some pretty cracky winter record highs.

Dumping rain at home right now... station near our house just jumped up to .60 on the day.    

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Up to 0.61” and counting.

[TacomaWx]

63/48 today…have been too far north or south all day it seems…but it’s raining for now with 0.02” so far today.

Vancouver's waterfront is such a neat new district.  I am excited to see a new city skyline grow in the Pacific Northwest!  I took photos year ago of the little skyline they used to have, but it's growing to new heights now. My main concern is how it is disconnected from the downtown, and the downtown's businesses won't thrive because it's too far away.  People won't mingle.  Maybe over the years, it will all become the "downtown" and not be separated. Hope you had fun, nice photos!  

[NWbyNW]

Overcast with light showers throughout the day.  Super refreshing and cool outside.  Currently 52F.

The evening is setting up for another beautiful sunset!

 

 

[NWbyNW]

The sky is having a lovely dusk right now.  The sun is shining through the overcast skies and it's making for some perfect colors and contrasts!  Check out this gnarly cloud with the colors of Possession Sound.

Wedding?

Yes and in the books… I was only a guest. So I’m safe from getting married a second time

Fun weather day today traveling between Mount Angel and PDX  this afternoon.  No funnel clouds sighted though on my end

[NWbyNW]

Sorry to keep posting. Here are some of the sunset pictures.  It's just so beautiful tonight, how can I stop?  Blessed to live where we live.  Happy Father's Day.

 

 

[NWbyNW]

It's amazing how different the sunset tonight is compared to last night.  Okay, last picture post tonight!  I promise!  I just wish wherever you are, you're enjoying the sunset as well!

 

JUNE 18

It is beautiful in it's own way, but not nearly as vidid and vibrant as the night before.

 

JUNE 17

The colors were deep and intense on Saturday.  A truly spectacular sight to behold!

58/46 on the day.

Currently 46.

Send some my way please!

Actually looks like the drought pattern might finally break here this week. But so will the low dews. Meh, always something to sacrifice.

[MossMan]

Down to 44

Snowy summer solstice for some.

[Doinko]

Pouring rain again. Really nice how much rain we've got today
