I’m driving to Miami today, flying out tomorrow. Tampa closed at midnight, trapping me here.

If I were that close I’d probably drive up to the FL big bend for an eyewall intercept, haha.

Biggest bust since the infamous windstorm prediction of 2016!

Two rumbles of Thunder around 4:30ish, and a grand total of .03” of rainfall. Good lord!

Oh yeah, brings us up to 0.10" on the month. But not all light rain is created equal, this will be very beneficial falling slowly overnight between two cloudy and cool days.

12Z GFS focuses the Thursday system in Oregon while the ECMWF focuses the heaviest rain in the Seattle area.  

The 12Z GFS also brings a robust system through on Sunday.   The 12Z GEM has that ULL wandering offshore longer and is more ridgy on Sunday but looks on track to bring it into the PNW on Monday.

Im just amazed by how good the HRRR was for this event in Puget Sound. The current radar looks exactly like the +48h HRRR forecast from 2 days ago. The Euro ensembles never converged on the rainier solution and the drier setup ended up winning. Haven’t had time to look into exactly what the difference between the two possibilities.

This might be the most incredible storm surge footage I’ve ever seen (Hurricane Ian, Fort Meyers FL). Full 9+ hours of the event.

Context: A couple and their 2 dogs were inside the pink house when it got swept away, and they all miraculously survived. I saw the guy park the car and go inside, and upon first seeing the house implode, I was certain I’d just watched him die. Later the guy who set up this camera interviewed him..it’s really something.

Rain Train has been moving up the islands all morning, wonder if it will ever drift this way......Still nothing more than occasional sprinkles though it does feel like the clouds have thickened up

Rain Train is chugging its way over Vancouver. Up to 0.35" and counting.

FWIW it did a pretty horrendous job with our event down here the other morning. Definitely was outperformed by the NAM, GFS, Euro, and RGEM alike.

Such a massive bust. We need rain!!!! Think I was supposed be up to at least .75” by now with this system. .03” is not going to cut it.

Meanwhile another cool and cloudy day with some drizzle in spots. 67 currently after a low of 61. It is kind of remarkable how warm lows have stayed even with a drizzly marine layer around. PDX only fell to 65 this morning which is getting into the top tier for warm mins at this point of the season.

8 years ago today was the biggest non fall/winter windstorm of my lifetime I believe. Sucks I wasn’t at home to experience it but it was fun jumping those large waves at Park Lake!

Nice area of drizzle moved in on the last half hour. Temp down to 66. So cool to see in the middle of the day in August. A rare bird in recent summers.
