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
Pretty rare to have ridging through June. You are young. 2015 was a rare exception that has no chance of repeating this year.
And I would probably prefer 65 and cloudy over 95 and sunny on most days. But 72 and sunny is vastly superior to both!
The 12z CMC is one way out, but it seems like that model likes to follow that exact progression every other run, no matter the weather pattern in place.
I think it gets watered down but the troughing will stop... As to be naturally expected. Be careful what you wish for though, you've been known to root for big ridges this time of year only for them to stick around for five more months.
Though I think by this point in the year you'd take 95 everyday over 65 and mostly cloudy. Which is probably more 'normal' than whatever preferences I have for our warm season. But you do you!
