the_convergence_zone Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Perfect weather for the M’s game today. I took my two year old and her 11 year old cousin. They wanted to go all the way to the top so I spend like 2 hours up there. You can almost see the game from those seats, easy for the eyes to drift over the the ferries and mountains. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun little thing to know - you’re heading into the right latitudes at the right time you might be able to see Lahaina Noon. This is when the sun is at a 90 degree angle and no objects cast shadows - apparently it looks pretty surreal if you can catch it, but it only happens twice a year. 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm calling B.S. on the tree photo. In order to cast a shadow like that at noon, the tree would have to be shaped like a flat-topped cylinder, with a thin fringe of leaves along the outside edge and nothing on top. It looks like a stylized representation of a tree like you'd get in a computer architect program. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cascadia_Wx Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Not terrible weather the past few days. Ended up with an 84/55 day here yesterday. Brief morning clouds, breezy north winds into the afternoon and evening. Got down to 54 this morning, the overnight recoveries have been nice. Looks like 90s the next 2-3 days after today, but 100 might be a taller order for Wednesday than it was looking a few days ago. 2 Quote Summer grows while Winter goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said it’s quite strong smelling and stinging her eyes but visibility is pretty good. I’m not really sure how smoke works. I’ve seen it where you can barely see across the lake and you can’t even hardly smell it. I really have no idea if that means much for us down here tomorrow but I doubt it gets too bad.

Cascadia_Wx Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 12z Euro shows 99 for PDX on Wednesday. It usually runs 3-4 degrees too cool so 100+ still seems like a good bet according to what is arguably the best model. Also shows 87 for today which makes a good case for 90+ Quote Summer grows while Winter goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
