This is how much the trees are leafed out in my neighborhood so far.

They look about the same around here.

Beautiful day here. Morning clouds and afternoon sun with puffy clouds. 67/47 spread so far, with a gusty and cooling NW wind developing in the afternoon and cutting temps off around 4pm.

Lovely evening. Temps are dropping off fast already with a current temp of 54. May set a midnight low.

NWS said the early spring here alleviated some usual pre green up fire concern.  pretty much everything is getting green or flowering about 3 weeks ish early.  silver lining I guess.  need rain though

Hoping we can get some of our classic May/June ULL action this year. Those are good at bringing needed rainfall to both the east side and west side.

Nice evening. Pleasantly cool. @TT-SEA you can see some trees getting ready to leaf in some weeks.

Thanks President Biden! He just approved Oregon’s request for federal major disaster relief so we can continue to recover from the Epic January Snow/Ice/Wind storm.

That's usually what I say to myself when gas prices go up another 10 cents.

Looks like PDX barely avoided a 70 degree day today Only ended up having one 70 degree day with this stretch and it wasn’t even on a weekend day!

Temps cooling off quickly on the west side this evening though with even some 40s showing up in Vernonia  

The next few days look much cooler with highs not even hitting 60 and now the latest 7-day only has two days peaking in the low 70s

I'm digging that filtered sunshine next Saturday. Do have to work that day though.

It’s been nice to see how much cooler highs have been there more south this weekend too.

Went to the local beach on Whitefish Lake today.  People swimming, boating, beaching, and vibing.  In April.  In Montana.  I feel like we're going to pay dearly for this bliss come August.

00Z GFS, GEM, and ICON all show the system on Saturday.    ECMWF will come around soon.

That's strange.   I would have just assumed that was a smudge on your lens.

Rex Block. The snow will return by midweek.

Some very big improvements on tonight’s 00z runs.

Hope its 45 F with a strong wind and 45 degree raindrops all day long with noon as dark as it would be half way through civil twilight on a clear day.

Rained a little overnight. Deck is wet. Mossman style.

Looks like a place my wife and kids would drag me to. I'd be roaming the shoreline looking for a fishing dock or place to cast. I have noticed over the years though that sometimes the swimming areas have decent fishing because the fish like the gravel that gets dumped on the bottom there.

Just checked out the final March #'s at Silver Falls. Ended up with a -0.4F departure. Not bad, not bad.

Except it was real life. Was a bit odd. 
And now it’s drizzling.

Gas ️ prices are cyclical, they will go down again. Another option is to buy a Tesla.

You are definitely the best low-key troll on here...

ENSO finally starting to really take a dive. Region 3.4 down to +0.9C now. Pretty solid drop in just a weeks time. I am feeling a moderate Nina is coming. Seems as if guidance is starting to cluster in that -1 to -1.5C range. 

[MossMan]

.02” on the day so far!

Most likely a gateway to a colder and snowier parallel universe. Would explain why you get so much snow.

I only have EVs and recently had to fill up a gas tank on a trip. It felt so archaic. Like going to a Blockbuster or something.

Ok, so we made it through this brutal weekend.  I endured two different outdoor fires with neighbors as well as sitting in the sun for a while and even yardwork without suffering heat exhaustion.  It's gonna take a couple of days to recover.  Also it has been sunny and nice all morning and thankfully now the clouds are moving in.
