June 2020 Weather Discussion for the PNW

[Timmy Supercell]

Yeah, writing today off as another vicinity thunder. Unless something to my south forms right before dark.

[Omegaraptor]

I-5 in southern OR had a near constant stream of t'storms/showers. Last 2 days they've been scoring more than the east sides.

I saw a 70 DBZ severe warned cell yesterday near Crater Lake. That thing had to be producing some pretty big hailstones.

 

Haven’t seen any lightning near here recently. This season it seems like whenever a ULL approaches, thunderstorms somewhere between Roseburg and Red Bluff are guaranteed to pop up.

True story they were actually going to build an eight lane Mt. Hood Freeway from downtown Portland through SE PDX to Mt. Hood. They actually started on the project and to this day you can still see the remants of that freeway with how unique Powell Blvd looks in SE PDX.

 

"The biggest of all was called the Mount Hood Freeway, an eight-lane ribbon that would have peeled off the Marquam Bridge, and run east in a 40-foot-deep trench where Southeast Clinton Street is now, cutting down to Powell Boulevard and running beyond I-205."

This would have helped with the traffic and gridlock we have now in the city

[GeorgeWx]

18z ensemble continues to look quite warm.

How warm? Any rain??

[GeorgeWx]

[MossMan]

.76” for the day, 2.26” for the month, and 35.45” for the year.

[MossMan]

Brrr.

[TT-SEA]

Brrr.

I heard April was a great summer month up here. Interesting.

[TacomaWaWx]

Raining again. Over 0.20” today.

[Anti Marine Layer]

Raining again. Over 0.20” today.

Should make someone happy.

[TacomaWaWx]

Should make someone happy.

I’m enjoying it while it lasts...but I’ll also be happy when we get some warm sunny weather. We’re in great shape heading into this summer in terms of rainfall now.

[MossMan]

Raining again. Up to .83” on the day.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

0.23” of rain today.

[El_Nina]

Was dry at here last evening but quite rainy in the Lake Oswego and West Linn areas around 9pm. Got home around midnight and now it has been a steady rain alternating between light and heavy at times. 0.08" since midnight. 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

51F with some light rain in downtown Springfield.

[snow maniac]

Hoping for some thunderstorm activity today, missed out last few times already.

[TacomaWaWx]

Got down to 51 this morning. 0.02” since midnight. 1.26” for June. Going to be out in gig harbor today hoping to see some thunderstorms.

[Farmboy]

I’m a Libertarian but what they’re doing up there is ridiculous hehheh. The mayor needs to do something fast

Seems like the mayor is encouraging it with Jay Inslee's blessing...

[Jesse]

Wrong thread again hehhehhehhehheh

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Nice day to catch up on some rest.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Nice day to catch up on some rest.

 

I've got the 4 kiddos here today so no rest for this guy 

[Front Ranger]

You must have Tiger Woods libido.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

You must have Tiger Woods libido.

 

You have no idea...

 

I didn't go for the Philip Rivers Special, though.

[Omegaraptor]

57, overcast, and drizzling.

 

Most of the population considers this to be ideal June weather, right?

[The Swamp]

we might hit a nice stretch of weather but the timing could be bad for the 4th of July

 

looks like the nice weather fades towards the first part of July

[TT-SEA]

Its only June 13th... too early to say.

Cool downs have indeed followed warm ups in the past...

[Phil]

Its only June 13th... too early to say.

Yeah, I think it’s a close call. The intraseasonal cycle resumes constructive interference w/ the base state sometime in the late June/early July timeframe, which is when the offshore anticyclone/west coast trough would be favored to return, all else being equal.

 

But does it happen before, or just after, the 4th? Essentially impossible to know right now unless you’re clairvoyant.

[VancouverIslandSouth]

Raining again. Up to .83” on the day.

 

That's more than I've had for the month; just up to about 0.8" for June here. Monday morning looks rainy, but then there's almost nothing for the next week or two.

[TT-SEA]

And even if there is a general West Coast trough... there could still be nice days in there. Way too early yet.

[FroYoBro]

Some good rain starting up here. Kind of nice, but I will definitely be ready for some sun next week. 

[Deweydog]

I’ve read all the analytic tea leaves and I’m ready to release my Fourth of July forecast:

 

Varying amounts of clouds with a slight chance of rain, highs in the 70’s and/or 80’s, lows mainly in the 50’s although 73 at SeaTac.

[Omegaraptor]

And even if there is a general West Coast trough... there could still be nice days in there. Way too early yet.

This is true. Especially by July 4. Just because the temperature at 850mb is below average does not necessarily mean the surface temp is below average. A bit more complicated out here than east of the Rockies.

[FroYoBro]

I really hope Jesse is taking advantage of the perfect day by streaking through the rain and sliding in the puddles like a seal. 

[MossMan]

The 4th has been cancelled anyway.

[MossMan]

Hope tomorrow stays dry...Getting behind on the yard work.

[GeorgeWx]

You and Mt Scott Josh keep the politics to a different thread.

Sorry boss

[GeorgeWx]

Ridge looks sorta dirty.

The ridge is looking even more dirty today, Ecmwf now showing rain heh

[GeorgeWx]

Brrr.

and they say Wenatchee is in a drought!

[Jesse]

Deep breaths.
