I have to say I do remember the day when mid September felt like mid September…It has not felt that way today! 

We said that 80s were supposed to be done starting on 8/28.   Almost 3 weeks later and here we are.

September 2011 had 9 days in the 80s at SEA... today is only the 4th this month and will probably be done after tomorrow.

Even though skies have been sunny and blue. There are still some wildfires burning in the Pacific Northwest. A pretty decent sized one burning in the central Oregon Cascades. A few small ones on the Olympic peninsula and then some more small ones in the North Cascades.

Yeah. Can’t wait until this gross weather ends.

[TT-SEA]

SEA is running almost perfectly normal for the first half of September.   This month has been pretty much climo so far in terms of temps.   The were some complaints yesterday when someone described a climo low temp map as "gross".    Double standard.

Devestating Trendz for Eugene on the  Euro. From the 90's to this:

Damp, too:

[TT-SEA]

SLE is only running +1 for the month.   

[TT-SEA]

Monday and Tuesday look quite nice... lots of sun and temps only in the upper 60s to low 70s.   Then maybe some rain for the Puget Sound area on Tuesday night.

Sunday looks to be the start of serious relief here. Monday will be a cloudy, nearly sunless day. Also, that trough on the long range 18z GFS is the coldest it's modeled yet this 'Fall' season.

Not to nitpick... but the ECMWF shows decent sun on Monday with just some high clouds after a weak c-zone fades in the morning.   But the ECMWF could be wrong.

[TT-SEA]

My sense is that next week is similar to this week and last week with cool weather for the first few days and then up around 80 by the end of the week.    Sort of been the recurring theme this month.    Monday/Tuesday have been the coolest days and Friday/Saturday have been the warmest days.

[ShawniganLake]

Looking at the visible satellite and the fires in BC continue to rage.  Most of the interior will be smothered in smoke tomorrow morning

Sue me for not wanting frost yet

[Cascadia_Wx]

92/54 day here. Already back down to 86, at least it cools off quick in the evening this time of year.

Hopefully today was actually the last 90 of the year, but I won’t hold my breath.

Before anyone makes some super hilarious druncle comments, the 12z Euro is pretty chilly too. Hopefully we can see some sustained cooler weather for a bit, it’s been pretty much constant torching around here since late April.

And tack on another one. 92F out there.

EUG and PDX both got to 94. Just a couple degrees off the record high for PDX set back in 1981.

I am also terrified of the seasons changing.

I think the elusive forum get together should be in PA for what are becoming very obvious reasons.

I didn't get that sense from him... I think he is just hoping to extend his garden if possible.    But there are a couple people on here who seem to be actually terrified of seasonal changes on the other side of the year.   They are the ones who mock anyone who has different opinions.

Looks like the GFS swung towards the ECMWF solution earlier in the week... now showing a nice rain event for western WA and even farther south on Tuesday night. 

[The Blob]

So when is it suppose to get cold?

PDX hit 95.

[TT-SEA]

ECMWF still shows some rain Tuesday night and then a chilly day on Wednesday even with lots of afternoon sun.   That day is going to feel like October with a north wind and temps only in the low to mid 60s.

Quite a sunny, dry run overall with almost no low clouds after Wednesday morning with gradual warming.

Rainfall on Tuesday night.

I’m ready for the change. Wish it would come with some mid 40s and rain before clear nights and frost. Sure hope it rains soon

[TacomaWx]

Got down to the upper 40s here for the 3rd time this month. Some rain would be nice has dried out after the rains we had in late august.
 We also Hit 80 yesterday for #36 this year. We’ve had years like 2019 and 2020 where we only hit 80 17 times…but the last 3 summers have had 35,32 and 36 +80 highs. 

[MossMan]

Had me a low of 49.

Yeah, officially 95. Today looks like it won’t hit 90 but it would be nice if we could overachieve one last time before the fall equinox.

2023 will be remembered as the year Seattle and Los Angeles switched climates.

[TT-SEA]

12Z ECMWF still showing a sharp temperature gradient from west to east over Oregon later in the week.

 

[TT-SEA]

Rainfall on Tuesday night per 12Z ECMWF... clouds are scoured out with a north wind by Wednesday afternoon.

today will be the warmest day in Spokane until next June

[MossMan]

A bit Smoky out. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Pretty confident in taking the AC units out today. 

Average today is 70/46, record high 97 back in 1967. Record low is 32 in 1952.

Fire in the Olympics really putting out some smoke today in southerly flow ahead of trough offshore.  

[TacomaWx]

75 here after a low of 49. We just might hit 80 again today but it’ll be close. Really disappointed in how long it’s taking for fall to really hit. The rains last month helped and it’s been a bit cooler overall…but summer is still very much in charge. Atleast the rains helped knock down the smoke for awhile. 

 I’m starting to think that August (0.48”) May end up wetter than September (0.03” so far)…but still could easily get a decent soaking the last few days of the month. 

[The Cats Meow]

79 in the valley

stunning fall weather

lots of scones being sold today over at the fair

[TT-SEA]

82 here now.

I am guessing it will be back up around 80 late in the week and maybe next weekend again here.
