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
Perfect weather for mby this weekend with sun and temps in the mid to upper 70s. 2 rounds of widespread rainfall next week followed by another shot of cool air. Also looks like my area will get a nice break from severe weather for awhile but that will likely return before the end of the month.
The official H/L yesterday at Grand Rapids was 57/51 there was 0.01” of rainfall it was a cloudy day with just 2% of possible sunshine. For today the average H/L is 68/47 the record high of 89 was in 1896 the record low of 22 was in 1966. The record rainfall of 3.53” fell in 1981 the record snow fall of 5.5” fell in 1902. That also ties the record snowfall for May. It is the latest day with 1” or more of snowfall. Last year the H/L was 75/45.
There was just a trace of rain fall here in MBY yesterday and overnight. The overnight low here was 43 and the current temperature is 45 with clear skies.
