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!

Moderate rain moving in now... this is the 7th day in the last 10 days with rain here.    And it will likely be 8 out of 11 with rain continuing into tomorrow morning.     If the ECMWF is right... we will be well over 3 inches of rain in that 11 day period.

It does not seem too droughty up here.    Its been pretty normal since the end of the April warm spell.   And currently right around normal for the year so far as well.

Here’s a helpful resource from Dr. Paul Roundy on seasonal cycle of MJO relationship(s) to the extratropical wave field.

I’d recommend bookmarking it. 🤓

@TT-SEA You had asked for something like this last week, right?

Welcome to the beginning of the end of our beautiful SW Oregon biome. The Biscuit fire is going to be topped.

And what does that entail? Combust has to do with heat so your saying we are in for a wild hot ride?

And/or a fiery ride in a few months.

Raining harder here now.   

And SEA has picked up .21 just in the last couple of hours.

That will probably be all I get in May. But watch K-Falls get 2" in one hour in August. lol

No noisy critters emerging from the ground either like back on the East coast 😱

 

 

They started emerging in the DC heat island last night. But so far it’s confined to the warmest locations only.

Not nearly as much UHI here so we probably won’t see them until next week. But we’re also surrounded by old woods and protected land, so when they do emerge it’ll be in much larger numbers than downtown DC. In 2004 it was full on bonkers.

Marmots screaming and now the possums are angry at everything. A few drops of rain is all I ask ;)

NOAA released the new 30yr climate normals today.

Avg July high now peaks at 90. 🤮 My little talking point that any 90+ day is above avg is officially shattered.

Thank you!

Not surprising, but still startling to see PDX now bottoms out for their average high on Christmas and starts to bounce three days later.
