I don't know if I would go that far but yeah I've been working outside both days this weekend and it felt kinda good to get a good sweat going. Topped out at 80 yesterday, and 86 today but I was working on the deck on the south side of the house, so I had the heat radiating off the deck and back wall compounding the heat of the direct sunlight. I am happy to report that no footwear was thermally compromised during my activities either day though I did burn the sh*t out of my hand on a metal bracket I left sitting out in the sun. Buyer for my car is picking it up in the morning, looks like its going to become an Idaho car. Now it's time to look for a replacement. While I may be able to handle yard work in the heat, I am not looking forward to car shopping in this nonsense.

NWbyNW Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Smoke will be moving into Western Washington and Oregon Monday according to models with some heavy concentrations around Portland. The smoke is coming from fires in the Oregon Cascades for the Willamette Valley. Smoke for the Puget Sound is coming from the Sourdough Fire in the Washington Cascade's. Thankfully, by the 15th, onshore flow returns (despite the heatwave) and the smoke will be blown eastward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanis Leach Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Newest Video: Technical Info: An extra slide with the smoke satellite image didn't turn out so it got cut from the video. I am aware of the smoke however, and the certain models (primarily HRRR) bringing it to PDX metro. This is primarily supported in their 700mb winds being from the south, but I see model disagreement in this level (Euro/GFS is from the E, WRF/NAMNST from the SE) and a contradiction at the 850 mb, which is almost exclusively from the N. I see a problem with this, and as a result, I kept the line halfway between CVO and Lane County Line as a blend of models, with a lean towards the WRF (for winds its decent, temps its not as good). Also considering smoke flow with 850s before it rises to 700s. As for the other temps, dropped it more because I'm expecting 26.5 850s rather than the 26.8 I did before. 75 at night for PDX didn't change, and still firmly think that's happening. Downslope winds (though its not the optimal direction), and 26.5s would be 107 (margin of error 104-109). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I topped out at 95.9F in June 2021 which was a few tenths of a degree cooler than July 2009. It really depended on where the marine air and the easterlies clashed. I remember SEA was just on the boundary of the 114+ temperatures and just couldn't quite make the flip so it "only" hit 108F.

Tanis Leach Posted August 14, 2023 Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 Last post tonight then I'm off to bed: KEZI's forecast tonight noted that it would've been hotter (109 instead of their 105 forecast) if the oceans were below average because that increases the winds. I've been taught that the ocean matters for onshore flow, but because they are expecting offshore flow, this strikes me as odd, and contradicting my education. Anyone have any evidence to support this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cascadia_Wx Posted August 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2023 (edited) Massive tragedy to see yet another fire in the McKenzie valley. And this one is much closer to some of the finer old growth forests left up there. I never fathomed that Oregon would lose much of its remaining old growth forested valleys to wildfire in the last decade. I remember back in the 90s and 2000s when logging seemed like the main threat.
