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
It’s a bumper year for ants Blackhole!
We have a 2nd day of 60% chance of rain. That means it won’t rain. Not sure why they even make these statements.
High of 83. Sunny.
Low(er) dewpoints/nighttime lows kept the anomalies in check out here. Airmass advection was straight out of the west that summer (as opposed to the typical south/southwest) so moisture was limited.
Probably why the 1988 severe season was so lackluster. Ring of fire convection stayed north most of the summer, and downsloping westerly flow likely killed most home-brewed activity.
I had washed a bunch of ants out of my weather station (they made it their home for some reason) 3 different times. I took a different approach yesterday and opened the top up and it got so cooking hot in there that they voluntarily left. Problem solved lol
In other news, it looks like scattered showers and storms every day for the next week. Friday looks like the day with the most potential for a lot of rain. Severe weather may be maximized Mon-Tue with the big CAPE in place.
