TT-SEA Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 ECMWF cut-off bias on full display for next weekend... it accidentally shows a decent weekend as a result. GFS says that will not happen. GFS will be right. And the GEM (as a tie-breaker) sides with the GFS.

Jesse Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 Wonder how much warmer and drier than average this month will ultimately end up despite all the bellyaching. Stay tuned!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT-SEA Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 12Z ECMWF is just a painful tease... knowing the only way it works out is if it's not displaying it usually cut-off bias. And the chance of that is close to zero.

TigerWoodsLibido Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 Hillsboro was actually 57% of average for spring using 1991-20 averages. The 54% is using the entire POR. PDX got 5.43" which is 59% of average. McMinnville got 6.28" which is 75% of average. Aurora Airport got 6.67" which is 67% of the 1998-20 average (no data exists before 1998). Hillsboro is normally the driest place in the Willamette Valley. It's actually quite similar to your area, it gets little precipitation in NW flow because of rainshadowing mountains to the west. This spring HIO was the driest place in Western Oregon that I know of north of the Rogue Valley. For May only, you actually have to go all the way down to Red Bluff, CA to find anything drier west of the mountains (although that was mostly just rotten luck and southern OR got very lucky). Monmouth/Independence is very dry too. Shadowed by Mary's Peak and tall Coast Range mtns to the west. Rain has finally started here. Temp dropped some 8 degrees. 1 Quote Springfield, Oregon regular season 2023-24 Stats: Coldest high: 25F (Jan 14, 2024) Coldest low: 20F (Jan 14, 2024) Days with below freezing temps: 24 (Most recent: Mar 8, 2024) Days with sub-40F highs: 4 (Most recent: Jan 16, 2024) Total snowfall: 0.0" Total ice: 2.25” Last accumulating snowfall on roads: Dec 27, 2021 (1.9") Last sub-freezing high: Jan 15, 2024 (27F) Last White Christmas: 1990 Significant wind events (gusts 45+): 0 Personal Stats: Last accumulating snowfall on roads: Dec 27, 2021 Last sub-freezing high: Jan 16, 2024 (32F) Last White Christmas: 2008 Total snowfall since joining TheWeatherForums: 42.0" Sub-freezing highs since joining TheWeatherForums: 4 Venmo GoFundMe "College Basketball vs Epilepsy": gf.me/u/zk3pj2 My Twitter @CBBjerseys4hope 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy Supercell Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 Hillsboro seriously the driest in the valley? When I lived there they weren't such a donut hole like it is now. They used to get more t'storms, more wind, and very juicy spring rainfalls in Washington Co. compared to any of the SE metro. 1 Quote Ashland, KY Weather '23-'24 Winter Snowfall - 5.50" First freeze: 11/1 (32) Minimum: 2 on 1/17 Measurable snows: 4 Max 1 day snow: 3" (1/19) Thunders: 19 1/27, 1/28, 2/10, 2/22, 2/27, 2/28, 3/5, 3/6, 3/14, 3/15 3/26, 3/30, 3/31, 4/2, 4/3, 4/8, 5/4, 5/5, 5/6, Severe storms: 2 ------------------------------------------------------- [Klamath Falls, OR 2010 to 2021] https://imgur.com/SuGTijl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around Hillsboro is one of the driest spots in the area. "The driest parts of the metro area are in the lowest elevations in the Tualatin Valley and along the Columbia River from Vancouver Lake to NE Portland. That includes the Hillsboro, Portland, and Vancouver airports. These areas typically average less than 38″ of rain each year. Another dry spot, although not quite as dry, is the northern Willamette Valley south of Wilsonville." https://fox12weather.wordpress.com/2015/09/06/a-neat-old-metro-rainfall-map/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omegaraptor Posted June 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 So far for June, PDX is at 0.66" and HIO is at 0.21". Got a few very good showers in this location today though. For reference I live right near the line between Tigard and Beaverton. Looking forward to some nice warm weather Wednesday-Friday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
