June 2020 Weather Discussion for the PNW

[TT-SEA]

Sunday is wet and cold day for western WA... it shows upper 50s to near 60 in Seattle which probably means 62 or 63.

 

 

 

But the good news (for the "heat misers") is that the models are trending much faster with the ULL in general and its already nice again by Monday.    

[TT-SEA]

00Z EPS looks nice for the 4th... its been quite consistent.

Need more rain down this way

Where is the ridge centered?

[MV_snow]

Any proof backing up the “more significant than usual” claim? Sounds a little shaky/subjective.

 

By far, the most notable aspect of the last several warm seasons has been the unusual REGIONAL warmth and dryness. That goes for the whole area covered by this sub forum, whether you’re talking north and east of Seattle or south and west of Portland.

I admit it’s mostly anecdotal, but there have been many times where we’re socked in with clouds / drizzle when OR posters have talked about it being a pleasant, partly cloudy day down there. Some rain and drought maps posted have backed that up. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for WA posters to root for warm, sunny weekends when those have been hard to come by recently, just like I don’t think it’s unreasonable for OR posters to be concerned about drought.

Low of 51 this morning...nice and sunny right now could end up being the warmest day so far at this location this month.

[Tyler Mode]

Low of 48 this morning in Battle Ground.  Amazing deep blue skies as well.  These are my favorite type of days.

[Timmy Supercell]

I've been up since 6:00am, this morning has a bit more of a July feel to it. Summer is definitely here. In 2 hours it jumped 18 degrees, no wonder it didn't feel like a June morning!

 

And I see some convective chances Tue/Wed!

Also a completely cloudless sunrise here. Not even cirrus or jet trails.

[TacomaWaWx]

58 here now...probably will hit the upper 70s this afternoon and maybe our first day in the 80s this month tomorrow.

[Jesse]

Low of 50 here this morning. Not a cloud in the sky.

 

Looks like the 06z GFS and ensembles really gutted the troughy period to end the month.

[Deweydog]

C’MON!!!

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Got down to 52F. Now up to 67F with a beautiful, cloudless sky.

[MossMan]

Had a low of 46.

My sons are going full summer today since they both have the day off and its beautiful... boat is out of garage and they are prepping for a party tonight.   Then they are taking the boat out on Lake Sammamish this afternoon before the party.   

 

At least sunshine gets them up before noon.

COVID party! Might as well get it over with now. Are you partaking?

 

I almost decided to call it a day and go jetsking...Nice day!

The group of kids coming tonight has been hanging out together for weeks.   You can't keep kids that age isolated in the summer.   Not going to happen.   

 

They are not coming in the house though for multiple reasons.    And I will not be down there when its happening.

I’ve kind of been doing the same recently...just keeping a small circle of family and friends that I see and avoiding everyone else for the most part. All you can really do at this point...and wear a mask in the grocery store of course. Hope your kids have fun...perfect weather for it!

Our kids and our neighbor kids have been hanging out as well, like you say you cannot isolate kids. I however love isolation haha!

Back to weather...A day like today would be lovely for the next two weeks straight!

Up to 67.

12Z ECMWF says the chilly weather and rain returns right on cue on Saturday and Sunday looks pretty nasty for summer.

[Jesse]

Euro looking improved.

Is it July 5 already?

[TT-SEA]

12Z EPS is about the same in the long range... still looks fairly quiet for next week and the holiday weekend.   Control run agrees as well.   

[TigerWoodsLibido]

 

Liking that 850s drop to about 2.5C to close out the month. 

[TacomaWaWx]

70 here now...doesn’t look like we will be hitting the upper 70s at this location today...probably tomorrow though. Just might hit 80.

[Timmy Supercell]

For Seattle Tim, not sure. But in Oregon it's usually summer before the fireworks 

[Timmy Supercell]

Absolutely beautiful outside in Everett. 70º and only a whiff of cloud in the sky. Tonight is going to be great for some astronomy and an outside chance at some noctilucent clouds.

 

Are those theoretically more noticeable at higher elevations? I should keep an eye out. I haven't seen them yet in my life.

 

Locals in K-Falls rarely observe Northern Lights (at this latitude!) but it doesn't cover much of the sky.

[Frontal Snowsquall]

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Yeah, I agree. Summers here in the PNW west of the Cascades as a whole are beautiful.

 

The Willamette Valley, aside from the allergies, is about the most pleasant place to be weather-wise on all of planet Earth from late Jun-mid Sept.

They were visible around here the other night!

A little on the warm side, but nice day overall.

Fudge in a few more weeks window if you tolerate warm rains. I love some Octobers like in 2009. 

[Timmy Supercell]

Nice bit of trolling going on here, conveniently the storms will go around my town within a 25 mile radius. 

 

But I respect Medford NWS, supposedly they have a much higher accuracy for these things than Portland.

 

[Frontal Snowsquall]

Another great day of golf today, weather was perfect. I Placed 10th out of 51 for our weekend tourney!!

Good job!

[Frontal Snowsquall]

I’m moving the second I graduate.

Washington or Oregon?

[GobBluth]

temps underperforming today.
