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
Mother Nature is going to continue roaring with rumbles of thunder across the majority of the Heartland...it'll stay pretty busy for a lot of you guys...
It'll probably be quiet here the rest of today and much of tomorrow, but it does look good for storm chances here in the evening. A much higher threat though to the northeast in areas that have had plenty of action lately. I suspect there will be a few hailers in the area so we will see how that turns out.
Definitely going to stay busy though with many days of strong mid-upper flow and a frontal boundary meandering through the area. CSU ML page rightly shows a slight risk of something every day for many days in a row.
Beyond this, ensemble guidance shows us moving into our June pattern as the desert southwest ridge flexes north and puts us in W-NW flow. That is typical June climo here with MCS's moving in during the night...and that takes us through the rest of this month.
We had another 3/4" of rain last night from some overperforming storms. Got a bit windy so it knocked some branches down too. That puts my 30 day total at 11.16", quite a stretch!
The prime Minister of Israel is officially being charged(warrant) of war crimes. Maybe now we should stop supplying arms until he steps down? Put his selfishness to the test - defense rockets for his country or power?
