Do you have some type of short term memory loss that involves re-discovering PNW climo every other week? Kind of like 50 first dates except Drew Barrymore has made up family in Everett.

Who tf is drew barrymore?

And 58 as the warmest low is still surprising to me. Low 50s most mornings I was there and that was under a trough.

Don’t worry Jess, days are shortening more quickly each day. The scary part is almost over.

How is what you experienced during your trip even remotely scary?   Bunch of Karens who like to make fun of other people being Karens.   

This summer has been gorgeous.   PNW at its finest.   Ahead is that part that could get ugly with smoke and fires.

My area does a pretty good job at cooling off at night especially if there’s clear skies. Despite hitting at least 80 the first four days of the month the lows here were 49 on the 1st, 50 on the 2nd, and 52 on the 3rd and 4th.

Sounds horrific.   Frightening.

Spokane was pretty gross today.  Smokey and hazy and in the low 80s with the sun very faintly visible. 

[TT-SEA]

But improved significantly in northern Idaho. 

[MossMan]

Cloudy but unfortunately dry here. 74 currently. 

[TigerWoodsLibido]

With the smoke it looks like we hopefully won't make it to 90F today.

Gotta hope the gfs is right about the rain extending all the way down into the willamette valley next week. Euro has a lot less rainfall and keeps it mostly in Washington closer to climo.

Sadly that one’s kind of an easy call.

Lmao. Florida man vibes.

I definitely would’ve noped out after the 3rd strike.

Just a trace of rain down here, but a muggy and warm day.

Low of 64, high of 82.

This is the first rain on today's date in at least 11 years.

[TT-SEA]

Its has been cloudy and gloomy the entire trip so far... with occasional light rain and sprinkles.    Amazingly consistent weather over hundreds of miles.   

Currently in Butte where its cloudy and only 62.

[Phishy Wx]

smokey AF.  hoping this rain comes thru tonight.  local smoke is from a fire in Post Falls ID

71 here!

I can smell whiffs of smoke today.  Satellite shows lots of clouds and you can see smoke mixed in.  Western halves of Washington and Oregon still have good air quality.

 

[Meatyorologist]

This is my view. Right now.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Pretty decent shower moving through junction city just NW of Eugene. Temp down to 71.

Too far to chase. Not that I missed out on anything. Dear Christ, I just got core'd by that Stratford TX storm. Holy hell.

[Meatyorologist]

 

Don't know what to say. This doesn't even begin to cover this evening.

[Meatyorologist]

It still doesn't make any sense.

[Cloud]

Just a trace here. 
The stuff coming from the mountains seems like it's aiming anywhere between renton and tacoma

Radar looks deceiving though…most likely it’ll end up being a couple hundredths of an inch of rain.

Core punching. Hope you have good insurance, man.

While we’re on the topic, this was the monster storm that produced 80-90mph winds here on 7/29. At this point the storm was on the other side of the Chesapeake Bay over 60 miles away, but cloud tops were insanely high, well over 60,000ft. So it was still visible. Camera doesn’t give the best perspective on the height but it’s way up there.

For reference, this was taken exactly 9:05pm, ~ 45mins after sunset (almost 5 hours since the storm left). But the top of that cloud was still illuminated.

Beautiful wildflowers and cool clouds up on Mt. Hood yesterday.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Looks like we got to 88F. Had some clouds around but ultimately stayed dry.

Nice night. Should be some good stars along with the moon.
