August 2024 PNW weather discussion

Disgusting smoke here. Awful and hot. Smoke might keep us from hitting the century mark but it will also trap heat.

Cottage Grove, Dexter-Lowell and Creswell AQI deteriorating. So fuckking done with this shitt every goddam year.

So sad as summer weather only begun a month ago with June being so cool and wet.

Different climate up there, but at least down here there’s still plenty of nice weather in September and usually early October. I don’t like to above 90 and that usually becomes fairly hard to do after September 10th or so.

pretty clear here today (no smoke). going to an outdoor concert Sunday evening.  hopefully smoke stays away, already going to be hot as balls

Yeah no doubt! Would love 80’s and 90’s with full sun and deep blue skies over the crappy smoke filled skies. Thanks a lot California and Oregon! 

I wish California was a giant inland sea.

Bit of a breezy north wind here so far today. 

Yeah I decided to take an extended lunch break and run over to do a little jetsking…And it’s a bit breezy!

I thought we came to a consensus that smoke didn’t actually trap heat.

Randy’s climate where he lives is a much different reality than most of us lol. A fairly typical June is fairly gloomy and wet compared to the rest of our locations. He had like an inch of rain in the past couple days.

Happy first day of August!

I have a feeling that the Marlboro Man is riding north. It's just a matter of time until he arrives. I think this commercial was filmed somewhere outside of Pasco.

I think you’re forgetting that everything is always awful and bad and horrible and nothing is ever good.

The thing that made him even more stupid is the vehicle has many ways to identify whose it was.  He may not have even intended to start a forest fire.  If so that would make him even more stupid.  

He had two other serious convictions in the past. Some think he might have been trying to destroy evidence of something else.

We've got some local fires now around here making things pretty gross.

Cool summers have gone the way of the wild stallion...and the Marlboro Man.

This was the official forecast for July (their verification maps are just these simple grids).

This was actual result. Missing the last day of the month still.

My daughter has been sending pics of the one west of Loveland. Hopefully they get a handle on it.

None here yet, though I’m certain the wealth will be spread around widely and generously. In fact, I’m repairing an air conditioner today in anticipation of the above.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

And tack another burger on!

Yeah, there's a couple in the foothills there not far from Rocky Mountain National Park. One fatality, sadly.

Yeah, ironically smoke is kind of a cold lover's wet dream. Blocks sunlight in the day and doesn't do much to inhibit radiational cooling at night. 

[MossMan]

Was a lovely lunchtime ride!

I wonder how many records PDX has been robbed of in the past decade due to smoke.

I remember some rampant online rumors that Kevin Martin started some of the fall 2007 fires in SoCal.

Guy was just willing to go the extra mile for his smoke inversions....

Maybe one in early August 2017, another in early September 2017, and maybe September 8-9, 2020. In most cases I don't think it's been a huge deterrent.
