Cheers from Chelan!

Coming up on 1pm and it still doesn't look like the clouds will break anytime soon. Full on overcast. 64F at the airport. Gunning for a 15F undershoot compared to the GFS!

At the border waiting for my prostate exam. 80 ish and sun.

Sun is breaking out here now.    Low cloud area shrinking from all sides now but looks like Seattle will be last place to clear.

Randy’s boat parties gonna give Tim’s a run for their money?

[Rubus Leucodermis]

Sunny and 72.0˚F here. A perfect summer afternoon.

Tim don't boat on a day like that!  Would be sad.

[TT-SEA]

Up to 75 now in NB.   Low clouds eroding from the SE to NW and you can see the clouds clinging to the NW side of Mt Si.

[KeyPeninsula_Wx]

Nice step up on the 18z. Could be a really nice soaking.

Less nipple action on Randy's. More hair.

I’m well into the blues on that one. Yes, please!

[TT-SEA]

Sun is out at SEA... is it enough to avoid another disastrous sub-70 day?   Everywhere else has popped easily into the 70s as soon as the sun comes out.   But SEA goes up like 1 degree.

Lots of hair…I need to get a boat DustBuster! 
 

The party continues, even in this grey darkness.

Looks like your area will be the last to clear.   Ocean Shores is way more sunny than your area.  :(

[TT-SEA]

SEA is at 70 now.

Close up shows smoke from Bear Gulch fire moving NE this afternoon and might be preventing low clouds in that area from clearing by blocking some of the sun and seeding the clouds with particulate matter.   Not sure.  Just a thought.

Titts out at both, why not? Cloudy just makes the endurance all the more fun.

Yeah WTF! There is actually very light mist falling at the moment. I was going to head to the lake but…

Today was supposed to be sunny with a thicker marine layer tomorrow. 
 

Weekend shot! 

Drove down to Mt Vernon for a noon time memorial service, and was surprised how overcast it was.  We had some clouds first thing, but its been mostly sunny all day north of the Chuckanuts.

Cloud seeding and weather manipulation has been a hot topic lately. Do you ever bring your boat out to the east side of the Cascades? Maybe not Tri-Cities, but Chelan at least is a good option. 

[Positive PNA Enjoyoor]

hiked to Beehive Basin in Big Sky today, cool place but crowded.

[T-Town]

Totally clear here now and 75 degrees. Beautiful evening.

I think it’s a serious issue that only an environmental services supervisor probably could answer, probably one from Oregon who divides his time between his three families in three states. It’ll be hard getting a response from him though as when he isn’t working on his side gig during company time, he is usually on Facebook extolling the virtues of something most of us would find reprehensible.

Had a chance to have a beer with the fired NWS employees yet?

The real story this warm season has been the +AO

It's going to make 13 year since the last record arctic ice melt.. pretty impressive in exponential global warming.

Can't imagine much sea ice has melted in Greenland this summer...

We've had blips of warmth on the Pacific side of the Artic circle, but the overall Summer pattern since 2013 is holding..

Smoke rolling in from my north. Fire on Vancouver island?

Circling around from Olympic Peninsula. 

[DareDuck]

Able to get in on a second round of thunderstorms this week. High of 86 but down to 69 after .10” of rain and lots of thunder and lightning. .84” since the beginning of July. 

[Meatyorologist]

Tomorrow looks like a marine layer day, beginning with a deck of clouds while high cloudcover increases from the west throughout the day. Similar deal Monday.

Looks like a 72/58 for today's date. -3.5F anomaly

Doesn’t seem like it. Nothing east, this is coming in from the north, northwest.
