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
Looks like a more Niña like north-focused trough. Doesn’t make it south of the OR/CA border at all on the Euro. Luckily their snowpack and reservoirs are in good shape down there.
Funny enough the Goofus is back to PNW ridging in that timeframe.
A little later this year than normal but PDX first 80 looks like it will happen on Thursday. Then we won’t have to wait long until the first 90 as it looks like it could happen on Friday. Mother’s Day weekend looks great. Mother’s Day is perfect, not too hot and nice weather to take mom out for lunch.
