July 2023 PNW Observations and Discussions

[Timmy Supercell]

July is here! Will summer be like the last 3? 

[Anti Marine Layer]

It might be, but this July 3 should not be like the last July 3.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Thanks for the link @TT-SEA!

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Saw some elk in remote Douglas County yesterday. Also got a flat tire in the middle of nowhere. 

[LowerGarfield]

Thank you for posting this!

Happy Canada Day!!!!! Happy Bobby Bonilla Day! Happy July!

Today I'll try to archive my old winter stats and email them to myself. I'm from CA and they used to use July 1st as the marker of a new water season.

Boarding the ship at noon and embarking at 4PM. I’ve never been on a cruise before so this will be a fun experience. Hopefully some good tropical development at times to shake things up (literally).

Remind me, you're going to Mexico? Or Caribbean? 

[LowerGarfield]

Re-set my stats to zero! I hope our Canadian posters are doing whatever they do to celebrate Canada Day.

Red Flag warning continues at my location through tonight.

Mexico. Down the Baja Peninsula then Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlán then back to Cabo & then Long Beach. 8 night cruise so fewer people pounding drinks to get their money’s worth of the ridiculous $800 alcohol package. I’ll just spend $18 on each drink since there’s no way in hell I’d spend $800 on booze. I’ll get a video card for my PC instead since it’s shot.

Windows dripping with condensation, right on cue.

I’d need the $800 and then some. If only I could afford it.

[Phil]

Look at all that dry, refreshing western air.

Precipitable Water values in the western US are as low (or even lower) than the Greenland Ice Sheet on the 12z ECMWF.

I did the Baja Mexican cruise out of San Diego way back in January of 2008…Never slept so well in my life, it was amazing!!

That’s only 5-6 drinks a day.

It's gorgeous... but unfortunately that northerly flow might turn smokey here.   Don't like to see the flow coming down from northern BC.

[TT-SEA]

75 and crystal clear here right now... bit of a breeze.    Truly summer perfection today.

Might only touch 90 on 1 or 2 days this week... the heat has been wonderfully muted at it gets closer.

Rookie numbers. But maybe he's going Euro model and cutting down expectations?

Seriously though @TigerWoodsLibido please enjoy it. I know it's been forever since your last vacation. Please have fun. Maybe a preview of your climate in 100 years as you might say? jk Have a great time with your family. Take photos.

[TT-SEA]

Currently... this system is scouring out the smoke in BC and bringing some rain up there.   But the problem might arise with a strong north wind up there behind this system by Monday.

[TT-SEA]

12Z EPS and control run just keep the warm air mass parked over the PNW even as weak troughing develops to the south later this week.   

[LowerGarfield]

My weather station is down to 20% with the drop icon. Is that dewpoint or humidity?

[SilverFallsAndrew]

I’m going to move to the coast, probably not until my kids are out of high school, but that’s my solution. Gorgeous day out here on the southern Oregon coast!

Your annual snowfall average might take a big hit.

Yeah I noticed the heat wave isn’t looking as extended as it was before at least with 90s. Still going to be well in the 80s for like 5 days.

That’s a hideous, rotten pattern out this way.

Jungle dewpoints on endless SW flow. Give me a dry 100°F over that f**king s**t.

Monsoon plz

[Phil]

Of course D10 Euro is porn, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

[T-Town]

Probably too close to the deck railing but weather station is up and running. Zip tied for now, didn’t want to drill holes in case I have to move it.

Humidity.  Dew point is measured in F or C

After about 3 drinks a day I start to see diminishing returns so it’ll work out. Plus I have no more $ til the 3rd when my disability money comes in. 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Very fortunate and grateful to get to do something that rich people get to do. Balcony room.

There are some huge fires up in the far NE of BC.  The 2 largest cover almost 2.5 million acres combined.  One of those is burning partially in the Northwest Territories 

[NWbyNW]

Nonstop sunshine it seems like since May.  Will we ever get some rain? Currently 68F and sunny.

Everett forecast.

We need a maple leaf reaction or a CMC model image posted here in honor of Canada.

Currently on my way back to WA. First flight is from St kitts to Atlanta and we are in a hold right now due to thunderstorms in the Atlanta area. Looks like the group of thunderstorms is stalled as well so I’m hoping they either die down or the band gets moving again. Don’t want the flight to have to get diverted.

Update: Looks like I will be getting into Atlanta only about 20 minutes late. They decided to go on with the descend.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Got a room right at the front of the ship. This is amazing.
