September 2023 Weather in the PNW

Gulf coast heat in August was insane. Next level stuff. Surprised the doomsayer camp hasn’t sounded the trumpets over it.

This is New Orleans. Like, wtf?

Anybody else enjoying Starfield so far? Brilliant game. Between that, College Football and following the upcoming weather conditions, this is fun!

Phil and Tim playing a forum debate ballgame before College Football starts tonight!

I saw that the Razorbacks game in Arkansas was pushed back to a noon local start time. Is humidity worse around 4pm when the game was supposed to start? 

Anyway, today I learned that NWS Little Rock has a cat named, Tarmac the Weather Cat and they've had it for 3 or 4 years now. Do any other NWS offices have a cat/dog/other pet?

Pretty nice day. 79/59 spread. Partly cloudy much of the afternoon with east winds developing. Kind of a shame we’re getting east winds immediately after beneficial rainfall, but they haven’t been strong away from the gorge, and DPs are still relatively high (low to mid 50s).

This is old but my son and I can't stop laughing at this. Reminds me of @MossMan's favorite photo.

From the best I can tell, Aug 2023 was Eugene's all time warmest month in terms of avg temperature at 72.5. 2nd place was 71.5 from Aug 2022. I could also be wrong as I've had a couple of drinks.

I was just thinking about this and it’s pretty depressing knowing that almost every summer now we seem to be experiencing our hottest month ever. Definitely a rapid warming and drying trend here that should be very concerning for others to the north as our conditions are often a precursor to what will happen to them. Like when winter weather is scoured out and we warm up first, then it creeps northward.

I am sure the GFS is too warm for today... but shows quite the crash by tomorrow.    Then all the models seem to show a slow and steady warm up.   Very little rain in sight now... although the mountains and foothills will get some tomorrow and Monday.

Looks like the ecology dept smoke forecast models are fairly accurate. About a week ago they called for another smoke intrusion Friday into Saturday and sure enough it is back. Not terrible though as AQIs are in the upper 40s to upper 50s. 

Pretty minor overall as there is no source of really thick smoke to pull from this time.   This about as bad as it gets and then we have strong onshore flow for 3 or 4 days.

That map is quite a bit worse.   

No hint of smoke here this morning... visibility is very good.

Well tangibly it is very noticeable here right now no matter what maps or guidance are saying.

Oh well...  it will be gone tomorrow.    

Smoke models don't show much for today.   Its just a thin layer.

These could be juicy if we get hit by one. Models have them developing in the vicinity later this evening. September is our big thunderstorm month for whatever reason. 2013 and 2020 had some epic storms. The end of our road washed out in September 2020 when we got 1.79” of rain in about 90 minutes.

Same with 2019. One day that month had 2.17" of rain and 1.88" of that in an hour.

Haven't been paying attention farther south... but it does get active down there later today.

And the north gets missed once again.

We definitely had some in 2019 too. The event in 2013 took the cake, nearly 4” of rain. A very dry year, but almost 13” in September, a record breaking month.

This doesn’t make any sense. The whole region is warming relative to their climo. It’s not like there’s a line of warming climate that is moving northward through Oregon and hasn’t reached Seattle yet. The warming is fairly uniform regardless of latitude. Look at what western Canada saw this summer.

Seattle’s climate now is what Portlands was a few decades ago.

This was 2020 after about 35 minutes of rain/hail that turned our house into an island.

It was bad enough that the rats that live along our creek were scrambling throughout the neighborhood
