You can see the rain on Fox Island. Pretty neat.

Your regular skyscape pics are invaluable to the forum. You have a seriously kick-ass view. That last pic should be in a meteorology textbook for "downdrafts in the PNW"

Much better than marine layer stratus 4000 ft thick with a strong inversion.

Looks like gonna be a wet Kentucky Derby! 🌧️ 🐎 

 

Race time wasn't too bad, just a fine mist for most of the evening. Track was soaked though. 

A classic PNW day with low ceilings and light to moderate rain for most of the day here. A type of day that ironically seems to be becoming increasingly rare in our bone dry, sun-parched region.

KY is a beautiful landscape too, even if it lacks the dramatic flair of the PNW. Plenty of lush, rolling green hills and forest everywhere you look.

Thanks!  It’s nice to have a place to share them with people who enjoy them.

Yeah from watching the video it reminded me of a typical rainy winter day here. Kentucky reminds me of the PNW in some ways. You should check out the Red River Gorge if you are able to.

Enjoy the damp dark dreary delightful drizzly day.

I enjoyed the needed rainfall after a prolonged dry stretch. I’ll also enjoy the upcoming sunny warm weather while still hoping we get more rain before the dry season. I’d move to Phoenix if I needed dry and warm everyday starting in April.

Yes. Sorry, should have captioned it for you. There’s also a shed and a tree.

It’s a pretty impressive size unless perhaps it’s a mass planting of the same variety.

Looks like a decidedly warmer than average first half of May setting up east of the crest. Unusually tight thermal gradient between the intermountain west and the Pacific for this time of year; almost 30dam thickness deficit across 200 miles from the 7th to the 13th alone. From this gradient we get a sizeable jet and a tremendous thunderstorm pattern for the Blue mountains of northeastern OR (site of initiation) and north/eastward into Spokane and Boise and all of ID on a recurrent diurnal basis for over a week. Also stout marine layers on the coast, save for extreme NW WA on the Olympic peninsula where disturbances sideswiping the region and the colder air aloft could mix out the clouds.

A pattern change toward a cooler and potentially wetter one is still on track for the 11th and beyond, starting in the NW and progressing SE as a sharp trough progrades into the continent. Warm season circulations seem to be dominating early after the speedy dismantling of the NH SPV this March.

Neither Euro or GFS ensembles are looking particularly wet. The persistent lack of rain is starting to feel reminiscent of 2021 - even the short-lived troughs are largely splitty, have little to no jet support, and anemic QPF.

May is our wettest month of the year on average, and it looks like we're getting pretty wet the next few days. I'm gonna post the NAM because it's the wettest.

O the snow, the beautiful snow!
Filling the sky and the earth below!
Over the house-tops, over the street,
Over the heads of the people you meet,
Dancing, Flirting, Skimming along.
Beautiful snow! it can do nothing wrong.

What I’d give to see you spend a year in Scotland or coastal Norway or SE Alaska.

You know, an actual gloomy climate.

Was working in the garden and looked up and saw this cool cloud formation heading southward to our east.   Several showers have passed just to our east this afternoon as activity slides down the west slopes of the Cascades moving to the south.

Spent the day playing with sunken rocks! Over time the border rocks the original owners had around the pathways had sunken to the point where only the tips were showing if at all, so it was dig them up and reinstall time. Made the path wider as well for the tractor. Now I just need a fresh batch of gravel! 
 

My back is officially tired.

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

A "Jim day" today. Below average day for much of Western Oregon, however this is almost entirely because of the chilly low. Feel like you don't see that too often nowadays.

Portland may be warmer than Phoenix tomorrow.

We’ll be warmer the next couple of days with Tuesday having the greatest difference. But then they go back to normal climatology.

Outside of cold and show, sunny and 72 has to be my favorite weather. Everything is so lush.

Sun and snow with a little thunder thrown in every now and then! ☀️ ❄️ ⚡️

Hawaii has several microclimates that would make forecasting pull your hair out especially considering elevation where rainfall increases.

LOL. That kind of weather it won't be lush for long. I don't want June to be browned out.

Pretty much a certainty now that we're going to have significant water/drought/fire/heat issues this summer. Not the spring you wanted to see if you were hoping to avoid that.
