Cool name dude, what’s the story behind it?

 

Always been a fan of Tiger. His personal issues in the late 2000s still make me laugh and yet I genuinely feel bad for the guy for going through it. Him winning the Masters last year was one of my favorite sports moments ever.

You live at the Troutdale airport?

Recorded 1.20”’of rain which is well less than half of normal. Saw eight days where the highs exceeded 70, and 14 mornings with lows in the 30s, including frost on 4 mornings.

I've got some shocking news. Models are trending significantly drier for this weekend, for the Portland area and points south.

 

 

And north of Portland too.

Realistically looking like this will be our 3rd extremely dry year in a row. This is the water year so far.

Does not look good for Oregon... definitely wetter than normal up here though.     

 

As usual.

Beautiful. Did you take this?

Capture from a video I took.  The group was heading south like a pod of whales.  They would surface for a moment then go under for a moment.  Haven’t seen them gather like this before down here.  Anyhow enjoyable to watch this morning.

Decent band of rain comes through western WA tomorrow morning... but Sunday now looks pretty dry and at least partly sunny.  

 

Then nice on Monday and Tuesday and then another quick band of rain on Wednesday morning for WA and then a dry pattern is established.

 

Not bad... we should get some decent rain along with plenty of sun and warm temps if the GFS verifies.

Wow, the 12Z EURO is worlds apart from the GFS. Has a nice ULL spinning over us by next weekend with showers and highs in the upper 50s by Sunday.

 

I'm sure we're gonna still end up getting deep fried, but I will enjoy this run for now.

 

An inch and a half of rain for Portland by day 8-9. About three times more than what the GFS shows in that same period

12Z ECMWF is about the same with the large scale features. That little ULL is a tenous feature of course and could easily disappear.

Should be some garden variety storms around tomorrow at the very least. No 5/4/17 repeat from the looks of it.

Somehow I missed this earlier, but it looks like April ended up being the 5th warmest on record for PDX, with an average temp of 54.5

 

1990 had been the previous 5th place, with the same average temp.

 

Not too bad for a cold spring.

That’s a very Jesse-favorable D11-15 EPS today. I’m counting 39/52 members that flip back to troughing and wetter than normal conditions during that period. And of course, 11 members that resemble a Tim dry-dream. And a couple that are just blah.
