Effective June 1, 2024, I will be the Secretary of the Oregon Chapter of the AMS.
Mark Nelsen has decided to step away from the executive committee, and I won the election between myself and Mike Krejci (runs weather-reporter.com and weathersigma.com (a new model site that is still being worked on) so check out his sites).
Back to civilization now after a successful 12 day climb of North America's tallest peak, Denali, home of some of the most extreme weather on the planet, with my 4 great friends Roger, Matt, Scott, and Aaron. For the first half of the climb we were very lucky with the weather and only needed 9 days to get enough good weather days to acclimatize and summit on the evening of the 20th. After we reached the summit we got about 20 minutes of clear sky -28 degree weather with light wind until a cloud
Woke up briefly and of course had to check ECMWF and EPS. That trend is what allows the ridge to build more effectively and sooner because it's easier to stretch out the trough. Also brings in more rain on Sunday and Monday. Looks more and more like a thoroughly soaking rain for the entire area and then immediately into warmth. Vegetation heaven.
Not at all. I’d say 75-80 and clear is my ideal summer weather, other than thunderstorms. Though some 90s does make some of the really cold bodies of water more swimmable.
