Gorgeous sunset from Mt Tabor park. Lots of big, downed trees on the north and east side of the park from our ARCTIC WINDS three weeks ago. But honestly the damage wasn’t quite as bad as I feared. I guess the historic shelter took a pretty good hit but that part of the park was cordoned off.
I was intrigued so I looked up the average high and low temperatures across WA for August of 1899. Olga's average low of 45F is pretty impressive as it's about 4 degrees colder than anything we've seen in the last 50 years. The fact it's so much colder than every other location on the west side does make me wonder if there was an error with the thermometer at that time or maybe it was just incredible cold winds blowing off the straight.
The Seattle average high for the month was almost 10 d
A secondary MCS hit us around 3am but it seemed to have a lot less wind packed in it, it was more of a lightning and heavy rain producer. There was a couple hail chunks but it was too mixed in the downpours to tell how big.
That line was a tornadic QLCS back in western KY last night.
64 and partly sunny here. There might be more t'storms later but we're past the brunt of the whole thing.
The heat spike and pattern retrogression is still there on the EPS after D10. But crazy how everything keeps getting pushed back.
If you recall *last* week was originally supposed to feature the western death ridge (according to the GFS). Now it looks like the second week of June.
I forgot how useless the GFS is in GOA trough pattern in the spring/early summer. Always the same errors.
The official H/L yesterday at Grand Rapids was 75/50 there was 0.43” of rainfall. The sun was out 23% of the time. The peak wind gust was 40 MPH out of the S. Than came in a heavy rainstorm with some thunder and lightning. For today the average H/L is 74/52 the record high of 93 was set in 2018 and the record low of 30 was set in 1961. The most rainfall was 1.12” in 1982 Last year the H/L was 79/43.
The overnight low here in MBY was 58. I recorded 0.43” of rainfall during yesterdays rainstorm that had some thunder and lightning along with some strong wind gust, the wind brought down some small tree limbs in my area. At the current time it is 58 and cloudy here.
