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
In all fairness he called the 90s before anyone else this time (though Dave Salesky at KATU had 90 on Saturday for longer, and before he had 90 on Friday).
Browsing official stations in Nw Oregon and SW Washington this is evening, it appears PDX and TTD were the only ones within hundreds of miles of having the dubious honor of two 90s in a row. Most stations didn’t hit 90 period the last two days, in fact. Just VUO and KLS hit it once, yesterday.
