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
Meanwhile, what a lovely and variable day here. Morning fog, then sunshine giving way high clouds and mild temps, with rain moving in by late afternoon and temps quickly falling into the 50s. 65/41 spread.
54 with rain currently. Really nice vibe out there this evening with rain falling and everything being so lush and green. Really like the lighting on these cloudy or rainy evenings in May or June. Have picked up .20” on the day so far and counting.
Beautiful pictures! I’m not sure if avalanches are going to be an issue for you this weekend but someone loss their life at St. Helens last month. Take care and be safe to you all!
