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
Something is VERY wrong with the wind sensor in my Tempest. It’s pretty breezy here today but even on dead calm days it will report hurricane force gusts. If I power cycle it it will stop for a while but eventually starts doing it again. Other than that it’s awesome.
Woke up to wet lawns today. I don't have a rain gague of my own, but nearby sensors reported 0.03" last night. Should be good enough to boost May up to 0.18" here.
Nice to see that the trough around D6-8 is trending wetter. We really need it!
