GeorgeWx Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Hints of a quieter pattern on the EPS after this weekend... showing the storm track weakening and shifting a little farther north. It has been showing the deep, cold trough for this coming weekend since it came into view over a week ago so hopefully it has a handle on the long range pattern.Maps please.

GeorgeWx Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Apparently there was 86,000 lightning strikes detected in Washington state with the storm on Saturday. 32,000 were in Oregon. 16,000 in western WA! https://komonews.com/weather/scotts-weather-blog/nearly-87000-lightning-strikes-in-washington-saturday-nearly-23-annual-average Really was an awesome storm.And a tornado felt I was back in Florida heh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MossMan Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Ran down to Smokey Point this afternoon, had a replay of the Husky vs Stanford football game from 2012 going in the truck. So between that and today having a look and feel of a nice late September day it really felt like an early fall day!

Jesse Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Although admittedly today did have a rather late Septemberish airmass and temp profile. Partly to mostly sunny skies and 71/43 here, with low DPs and a cool NW breeze. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those are just my opinions. I respect that everyone else wants rainy, cold weekends all summer.There’ll probably be some patten instability w/ a few warm/ridgy cycles in the second half of June, during the next MJO transit. Also AAM transports culminating around that timeframe. But in the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t look persistently warm out there in my opinion. Essentially, the more dominant the MJO/higher frequency cycles are versus the low pass/-ENSO stagnant forcing, the warmer the overall outcome will be, all else being equal. Vice versa if the ENSO/stagnant forcing is more dominant.

I do... but its easier to do that on the weekends when we aren't working. I fully realize that nature does not care. Sometimes the rainy cycles have favorable timing and sometimes they don't.

Omegaraptor Posted June 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 I mean we better see this pattern again in winter. This pattern in winter wouldn't be all that special. Maybe some cold NW flow which is good for the mountains but it's not a lowland snow pattern. The big cold in winter happens when you have a big ridge in the Gulf of Alaska extending up into Alaska. Having a ridge in the eastern US also helps. The cold then comes out of northern Canada and into the western US. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy Supercell Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Warm next few days. But wunderground shows a high of 48 next Sunday! That's a -26 degree departure from the average high for June! I wish I had easy access to record minimum high temperatures, wunder never seems to show them. I've had low-mid 50's in June before but I can't recall the last time I had a sub-50.

The Swamp Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 I know this is the June thread but any guesses on the 4th of July weekend? This pattern of clouds and sun under the week with rain on the weekend will probably hold for another month. I expect 4th of July weekend to be an absolute wash out.
