TT-SEA Posted August 16, 2023 Report Share Posted August 16, 2023 94 at SEA and 102 at PDX on the hour. Luckily this heat wave was a non-event. I believe the term Phil was using was "winnowed down" in terms of any meaningful heat happening. Sadly this summer peaked back in May. It's been all downhill since.

Wouldn't be surprised to see an extremely rare Padres rainout in San Diego. I’m hoping it tracks more west. I just looked at the 12z HWRF hurricane model and it tracks Hilary on the left side of the cone. It would give us better chances of rain up here.

They tend to always want to curve out towards sea so I think there is still plenty of time for the big rain to track more West up the coast. Just a guess lol.

It's only the third time they've had four straight triple Ds. Other occurrences were the July 1941 and August 1981 heatwaves. And this one is easily the latest in the calendar, and the only one aside from June 2021 to hit 108. I'd say this has a pretty solid argument for second or third "greatest" on record for Portland.

Up here this one was a fairly significant one with back 2 back 95 degree highs at SEA…but not as significant up here overall. 89, 92 and 93 here the last 3 days.
