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
The official H/L yesterday at Grand Rapids was 70/54 there was a trace of rainfall. The sun was out 35% of the possible time. For today the average H/L is 74/53 the record high of 93 was set in 2018 and the record low of 35 was set in 1966 the most rainfall of 0.80” fell in 1946. Last year the H/L was 86/52.
The overnight low here in MBY was 53 I had 0.03” of rainfall yesterday and overnight. At the current time it is mostly Cloudy and 55.
Woke up briefly and of course had to check ECMWF and EPS. That trend is what allows the ridge to build more effectively and sooner because it's easier to stretch out the trough. Also brings in more rain on Sunday and Monday. Looks more and more like a thoroughly soaking rain for the entire area and then immediately into warmth. Vegetation heaven.
