Vampire Weekend.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

An amazing 0.06” of rain today.

An amazing 0.06” of rain today.

Yeah just .05” here. As I said earlier today, these inside sliders are not notoriously wet or cool for the lowlands in the summer. We had plenty of afternoon sunbreaks and a high of 71 today.

 

Tonight may be cool for areas that see clearing, though.

Fortunately they were all rounded up and sent to the gas chambers as you requested.

The cloudy weather haters were also sent there as you requested, with a few exceptions

[Anti Marine Layer]

July starts on Wednesday.

Condensed water vapor burn!

I Feel It Coming

[Phil]

I enjoyed it. Went down a little Wikipedia rabbit hole about mountain climates in the Southeastern US.

 

But we have a kind of interesting event going on here right now, too. It SNOWED in the higher Cascades this morning.

Safe to say, that’s impossible out here in July. Haha.

[Phil]

Spotty cell service and weak wifi signal, I’m guessing. Probably should see some photos showing up in a few weeks. If he’s not too busy.

 

Also, Phil, weren’t you saying a few weeks back that the pandemic had put you into debt and you had moved back home. Now, we are on week long vacations to mountain top cabins? Perhaps another vacation conspiracy unfolding!

My Dad decided to take us out here. Was pretty much out of the blue. It’s just 4 of us this time, though.

[Phil]

I'm gonna take a trip to Johnson City, TN later this summer. It's not too far away, but obviously at a much lower elevation. Looking forward to seeing the Smoky Mountains for the first time.

We drove right through there on the way down. Looked like a nice little town..I think you’ll enjoy it.

[Phil]

Haven’t been following weather as closely for the past few days, but I’ll have to soon. Can’t stay away.

[Omegaraptor]

I imagine Mt Washington, NH can easily do it.

 

DC’s latitude would put it right between Sacramento and Yuba City on the West Coast. Sierras are a pretty mighty mountain range... but good luck getting any significant moisture down there at this time of year.

I forgot it’s not July yet. Def too much red wine tonight.

 

And yeah, that’s probably the only place east of the Rockies that can pull it off.

[Omegaraptor]

Finally receiving the first drops of today.

[Omegaraptor]

 

Phil isn’t going to like this clown range frame.

[Dave]

600 heights over Colorado. Could be warm there.

[Blizzard777]

72/52

Currently 58 and for the most part clear skies

going to get a bit chilly perhaps overnight 

[ShawniganLake]

Probably one of the nicest days of the summer so far here. Clear blue skies. Low humidity with a light north wind and a high of 77F. Sat around the fire without a jacket until almost midnight thanks to the lack of wind

[TigerWoodsLibido]

55F and partly cloudy. Nice night.

[Jesse]

Probably the coolest evening since the solstice out there. Had to put a heavier jacket on for our evening walk. 54 degrees with a breeze and a nice half moon.

[TT-SEA]

Thin layer of clouds hugging the top of the ridge this morning...

 

[TacomaWaWx]

Low of 53 this morning...cloudy currently.

Awesome photo Tim! 

Under the layers of clouds and 56*

low of 53*

[Jesse]

Was clear around sunrise, but now there is a thick overcast. Low of 51.

 

Looks like the Portland area will end up right around average temperature wise for the month of June.

[MossMan]

Dark and cloudy here.

[Jesse]

Dark and cloudy here.

 

I'm guessing your area is close to average for June too.

[ShawniganLake]

Perfect morning here. 61F with a cloudless sky.

[TT-SEA]

I'm guessing your area is close to average for June too.

 

His area is well above normal for June.

 

Ironically... my area is pretty close to average. This map is misleading because the Seattle area is now well above normal including SEA and WFO SEA. This is because it includes stations with partial and spotty data in the Seattle area and the South Sound.

Surprised that there's so much disparity with the temperature anomalies this month.

Rainfall.

 

I think its been a little warmer than normal for most of the area.

Jesse wasn't talking about rainfall. You conveniently changed the subject just so you could post that map.

I thought he was talking about rainfall. Either way... this is a month win which my area is not anomalously wet. Worth mentioning!

This month was finally a win here as well because it was anomalously wet. The trees finally got in some growing/healing during growing season.

[TT-SEA]

Here is the temp map... actually Randy's area has been colder and wetter than normal this month.

 

[Jesse]

Just another manic Monday!

[Phil]

So..a normal June in Tim’s area?

 

I thought that place was Hoth or something.

[FroYoBro]

GOt hIm!

Pretty close to normal overall... but about 4 or 5 more days with rain than normal.   The same is true in Seattle where its rained on 13 days instead of the normal 9 days.

 

As I have said... normal June weather can be pretty disappointing here in terms of summer expectations.   Its often my least favorite month because of that disparity.    This month was not terrible... at least we had some sunny, warm periods mixed in.   I have seen worse here.

[TT-SEA]

GOt hIm!

 

 

When have I ever said this June was unusual in my area?   

 

I have never said that.     

[Jesse]

GOt hIm!

You need to be banned, as well as your children, and your children’s children.

 

For three weeks.
