We wound up with a little over an inch of rain the last 48 hours. Man Gold Bar gets tagged with the precip funneling through sky valley. Lots of hail, really fun!

Whole new weather norms for you to learn up there! Exciting

Let’s hope the euros right over the next 10 days. Euro is a decent bit wetter than the gfs for WA and OR. 

The Euro is usually right.  The GFS (Garbage Forecast System) is a joke. Remember the Euro is a 'paid' model where GFS is 'free' by the government. The EURO I think is Weather Bell's subscription: so of course they have to have a higher standard or they'd lose gobs of customers whom rely on it .

The 'Free' model you take it or leave it no need to improve it unless a major push happens. You know how government red tape works.  It's like Android vs Apple. One is like monkeys on drugs making it.

It depends...sometimes the gfs is right too. Euro is a superior model IMO and is right a good amount of the time.

Atleast the last couple weeks of this spring are actually acting like a La Niña.

Awesome. I don't know if Alturas normally gets more snow or not. Nothing accumulated at my place. Something was falling when I went to bed.

So if we have a solid east wind event again and massive fires start coming into the valley, it's looking like we could lose most, if not all of our grass & grass seed...obliterating Oregon's economy. And most urban areas, esp in the south valley will be destroyed.

47 degrees with thick clouds and drizzle in the afternoon in late May.   Not nice.

Sorry to the folks who missed out on the rain... but I am going to celebrate any pattern that leads to more sunshine and warmth.    We have had well over an inch of rain in the last 3 days and the weather has been more like winter than late spring.

Pretty much defines this part of the region with the exception of devastating fires.

Anyone ever read the short story “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury? 
 

https://www.mukilteoschools.org/site/handlers/filedownload.ashx?moduleinstanceid=183&dataid=731&FileName=6-All-Summer-in-a-Day-by-Ray-Bradbury.pdf

I think this is how Tim views the PNW. 

 

If I wanted 40s and 50s and drizzle all summer then I would move to Sitka or Juneau.

Juneau's record highs are actually the low 90s. A good place to see weather stats is WestJuneau.com a weather station on Nowell ave in West Juneau though he stopped doing his log after 2018 but has archives back to 2003 or so. And weather stats back to the early 80s.  One year had almost no rain in the 80s. Which is highlighted in his rainfall records.

I’m surprised Tim @TT-SEA didn’t take a picture of this or perhaps he missed it. It’s at NB. Just spectacular colors.

 

 

He was hunkered down in their scattered shower underground shelter.

You live in one of the most consistently wet places in the US. Move or stop complaining so much you big dummy.

Nah... we get plenty of nice weather here and we love it.   Its definitely not Sitka.      

And I am looking forward to some more nice weather because 40s and drizzle during the afternoon in the warm season is pretty rare here.   Thankfully!    We get enough of that in the cold season.

56 and partly sunny here. Living close to the water means the clouds burn off a lot faster than up near the cascade crest usually.

Yeah... none of you would be complaining about 20 degrees above normal today.    I will remember that during the next warm spell.  😁

That has to be wrong here. The bay breeze is kicking up puffs of dust as I type this. Never seen it this dry in May before. Only years I can remember that come close are 2012 and 2008.

Been almost a month since we’ve seen more than a sprinkle.
