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
Ended up with an 81/43 day here. Cool start but it warmed up quickly with clear skies and breezy east winds starting around midday.
One of the more mild evenings year to date right now, with the temp currently at 60 approaching midnight.
For those tracking the crash later on Sunday... ECMWF is still sunny for most of western WA at 5 p.m. but then its raining in Seattle by Monday morning.
Here is 5 p.m. clouds/temps and highs for the day. Should get the full day to enjoy on Sunday except along the coast.
