October 2020 Weather Observations for the PNW


Recommended Posts

I also wanted to comment on Jesse's post about the nights being warm this month.  I'm not so sure that will happen.  The EPS likes the idea of raising heights over the GOA a bit down the road which should get us into a decent chilly night regime eventually.

Had the hot air balloon ride last night. Was over the the Auburn/Enumclaw area, east of Lake Tapps. Was a little hazy from the smoke not bad tho. Got up to 2,000 feet at one point but really hung around  175-400 feet in the air. Pilot kept us low and we had to keep rising at times to avoid hitting tree's and power lines.

This is the link somebody requested for Seattle 850s.  I'm having real trouble posting right now so hopefully this works.  https://www.wetterzentrale.de/en/show_diagrams.php?model=gfs&var=2&geoid=136221&lid=ENS&bw=

Thanks!  There is still another one that looks like this.  For some reason the site I was using (Charlie's Weather) was stuck on 9/23.  I have tried going to the Wetterzentrale site, but can't find this version for some reason.

Decided to go over to our lake house and get my jetski out of the water for the season. Was just me and a few fishermen out on the lake, the low clouds/fog never did burn off. Tomorrow will be winterizing day for the toys.

Pretty gross day near the Sound.   We are planning to take the boat out on Tuesday... ECMWF shows sunny skies everywhere that day.

Should be a perfect day for it! If my work week wasn’t looking so busy I would have taken the boat out and hit the water one more time...But it’s not to be. ☹️

Looking forward to some active weather coming back soon. Still 0.00" for October despite light mist at night.

3 days into the month and still at 0.00?

After a significantly wet September too... and I would bet October ends up wetter than normal as well.

All depends on what happens in the later part of the month. Think we average over 8" here.

My wife and kids just got home a bit ago, my 6yr old went to one of her friends outdoor B-Day party on the Centennial trial Northeast of Arlington...Apparently it was sunny and in the 70’s there today.

Pretty dynamic stuff coming up.  Hoping for a nice crisp NW flow after the rain.

Sunny and warm all day... but the last frames of the visible loop show the low clouds pushing east quickly.   Should make for a mild night and hopefully enough cool air aloft tomorrow for high cloud bases and some sun breaks.

Currently 57. Nice cool, cloudy day. Still could use another sunny/warm day or two before our rapid live into Fall in just over a week.

62/51 here today.  We did break out of the fog mid-day and when I was outside mowing the lawn at about 3m I could see the edge of the fog about 1/2 mile to our west.  Turned out to be a nice crisp day.  I'm hoping its not too stormy (or foggy) next weekend, I would love to get a kayak camping trip in.

Yeah I’m done with hazy, unseasonably warm days.  Looking forward to some mid 40’s days by the end of the month.

Glanced at my weather station just now and noticed it was reading .01” so I look outside and sure enough we have heavy drizzle going on now.

The gfs ensemble upgraded to the new version on the 12z Run on the 23rd. So for older sites that haven’t been updated they are still displaying the 6Z for that day.

Football and kids weekend for this guy. Plus monotonous conditions (at least in the Willamette Valley) for now are causing some of it too.

Hawks game at 10AM tomorrow also so posts about the morning runs will be scant as well more than likely.
