Deweydog Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Looks like PDX may be taking another run at setting the all-time max/min for August, possibly avenging the failures of 8-17-08.

Tyler Mode Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Low of 65 here in BG. That would be warmest low ever for this station (records just since 2010). 81 already. Today is the first day that the average high drops a degree. Hard to believe the current temp is above average and it's not even 10 AM. Hoping for a decent storm outbreak today/tonight. Some models show a repeat tomorrow and maybe even Wednesday (if not steady rain). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deweydog Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 97 here with a moderate east wind. We are pretty mixed out. One of the reasons I was puzzled by how aggressive the NWS has been about storms. I'm no expert when it comes to convection, but it seems to me there would be a serious cap out there right now. Whatever we get seems like it would need to be seriously elevated. Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deweydog Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Why the cap? Doesn't offshore flow usually help overcome that? As I understand it, offshore flow would increase it. Or at least provide potential for one to develop. I would assume it is eroding significant as any downslope we're seeing right now should end very soon.
