I hereby allocate the next 2 hours to an open discussion about whether or not Tim only posts good or bad maps and whether he's a consummate truth teller or whether it is low key trolling. This forum to resume at 7:30 for the 00z GFS.
*hits gavel*
I got a nice little weekend off coming up for me. Warm and breezy Friday, a bipolar Saturday with a warm morning crashing to onshore flow and drizzle by dinnertime, and a fairly cool Sunday. Might even nab one of those sub 50F highs which are rapidly becoming harder and harder to get.
Today's thermal profile is pretty much dry adiabatic all the way up to 700mb, thanks to some descending easterlies above 5000'. We worked extra hard to reach the 60s today, despite the chilly air aloft. Side note...Unless they knicked it just after 5pm, it looks like KSEA avoided the 60F mark by a hair.
No matter what though the dry air is making it feel much cooler. And as an ode to how deeply mixed today was, despite dewpoints in the mid 20s, there were still some tufts of cumulus about this afternoon; way up high of course at the very top of the boundary layer where the particularly precocious lifted parcels nudged just barely high enough to saturate, probably around 7000'+.
