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
Hope I am wrong but it’s hard for me to see how the incoming system is going to drop an inch plus of rain in Seattle. Definitely different than our typical Pineapple Express setup.
At least 2 tornadoes last night on the west side of the KC metro. They will be evaluating damage on the Missouri side tomorrow. They formed on a squall line, we've had that happen several times this spring.
Just keep adding infinitely more GHG's until you get to something like Venus. Eventually gravity will compress our atmosphere enough... Though I don't think we have enough gasses dissolved on Earth to do so.
Eh, just par for the course these days. The heat the last few years globally has been staggering and we will all just have to continue acclimating to the new normal.
Remember the heat dome last summer on the Gulf Coast? Baton Rouge seeing an average monthly high in the triple digits last August? With the Atlantic already at midsummer temp levels, just going to be more of the same this year.
