Eventually Phil’s trough will get here. It has to at some point. 

We have had troughs at times over the past few months.  The models have been showing sky high heights over the NE Pacific for quite some time which would normally force a trough over us.  A certain amount of bad luck has been involved in the overall outcome here.

Exactly... never stop predicting it and then when it eventually happens you can say you predicted it all along.    😀

Even if I had said that (I didn’t), 3 weeks ago was early June, which was cool/troughy.

Doesn’t exactly fit your manufactured narrative.

Yeah... its not manufactured.   Other people are saying the same thing.   You keep telling us about troughing coming and its been warm ever since.   And it did start around before mid-month when we were looking towards the end of June.

I don’t think it will be scorching but will be warmer than normal. June was extremely dynamic and I highly doubt we’ll see a repeat of that 

Might be warmer than normal.

Phil…. Tim…. May I suggest a room? It’s only first day of July and y’all at it already. 🤣

I kind of get it.  I'm getting pretty grouchy over the way have unfolded so far myself.  So far most of the breaks have gone against us this summer.  That could change at any time.

2019 was a dry and cold fall…November was normal but September and October were below normal. Was a very memorable fall because of the vibrant tree colors…some record cold low temps and many amazing sunrises/sunsets here. Not to mention some great thunderstorms in September and October. 

Nov 2019 had lots of potential to be a cold one. Highs in the 60's first half, but at the end I had 9 lows below 20, an arctic blast in the last 5 days of the month, and the biggest snow event around Thanksgiving since 2010. Still ended warm and dry. Remember the "bomb cyclone" in southern Oregon that month? Numbers sometimes just suck, but it is what it is. The coldest Black Friday in many years.

Funny, I seem to recall March, April, May, and (most of) June being average to slightly cooler than average.

It’s not like there hasn’t been plenty of troughing this year. Definitely not a 2015 pattern.

It’s been warm for 10 days. That’s crazy! 😱 So easy to get caught up in the moment, isn’t it?

If we can somehow get the 4CH to chill a little perhaps we can get that trough to drop down further. But I’m not counting as it as everything just seems to go against us for sure.

It's summer. Get out and enjoy the warm sunshine. We get plenty of troughing. October will be here before we all know it.

Oct 2019 was decently cold at my place, I forget how that one ranked west of the mountains though.

-3.3 departures from normal Mean is pretty rare now for any time of the year.

3rd coldest October on record for Salem. 2019 was a low key decent weather year.

I’ve enjoyed plenty of sunshine so far  and even spent times outdoors in the rain. Love it.  However, just because it’s summer it doesn’t hurt to have a trough drop now and again.

Nov 2019 still ended +2.2 from average with those cold temps at the end.

Then Dec 2019 goes even further with a +4.8 at KLMT. lol

Bad call for sure! But if we’re being fair, this heatwave would have been very difficult (if not impossible?) to predict at long ranges because it was a trapped high wavenumber pattern through which the high amplitude RWB arose. That can unfold in so many different ways it’s mind boggling.

Tweak things ever so slightly and it might not have happened at all, or it could have been the inverse with top-tier cold! A lot of statistical flukes came together at precisely the right time to buck climo and produce an outrageous solution.

But you can’t look at this, and then somehow expect to follow years like 2015, which were so vastly different in so many ways.

Top 3 coolest and snowiest in southern Oregon. Depth was hard to maintain so locals won't remember the month because there wasn't 33" inches on the ground. More like 9.

Coldest on record in Spokane.

Didn't Spokane also have the most October snow in 1 day and for the month?

I’m pretty sure you predicted troughing after the solstice and we ended up with one of the most anomalous heat waves in the history of the planet.  It was a big miss for you just own it.

This. 
which is why I said in my previous post from this tweet that base on how things have been trending (past 5-10 years?) I think that it’ll end up being warmer than not.

I never said we were going to follow 2015.   I did say it has felt like 2015 recently with consistent warmth and heat.   And it has.

Point is... you were arguing with me back then saying I was reading the 850mb mean wrong and warm is actually cold because of spread.   A few warm members were skewing the mean.   I said when the mean is warm for 15 days... its probably going to be warm.   And it was.    And I am saying it again now.   

Maybe the second half of July we will be colder than normal.  I have no idea.  If the ensembles start showing that then I will believe it.

It was the snowiest October. Last October had the largest 1 day snowstorm. 7 inches was reported at the airport on the 23rd.

I didn't appreciate February 2019 in the moment and regret that now. We didn't have one signature event here like Seattle or Eugene did. Just 18 days with 1"+ of snow, good for 52.2" total. Might be awhile before we see something like that again.

All of 2019 was pretty great. Epic February/early March with an anomalous switch from well below normal to well above normal mid month. Had quite a bit of rain up here in July-September with lots of thunderstorms. Only year of the last few with no wildfire smoke. Fall was dry cold and beautiful took some stunning photos that year…and a historic AR event in December.

That was a nice blast of cold air. I was in NW Arkansas around that time and took my kids to the pumpkin patch with a raging north wind and afternoon temps in the upper 30s.

I don't really see it. There was a 2 week troughy period last month, nothing like that in June 2015. The warmth that month, extending well into July, was much more sustained.

There was basically a week of really warm to very hot temps in June 2021. Otherwise, the month was fairly normal with abundant rainfall...far cry from 2015.

The thunderstorm outbreak in E. Oregon in early August 2019 was pretty prolific. They had tons of rain too and it essentially ended fire season.

Yes... the first half of June was much different.   Since the middle of the month... its been warm and the models keep showing warm.   That has reminded me of 2015.     But a feeling is also based on what a person is experiencing and you have not been experiencing our weather.   Its totally subjective.   And not a forecast.

That was a nice blast of cold air. I was in NW Arkansas around that time and took my kids to the pumpkin patch with a raging north wind and afternoon temps in the upper 30s. 

Cold air can just dig through the center of the country.

Nov 2019 had lots of potential to be a cold one. Highs in the 60's first half, but at the end I had 9 lows below 20, an arctic blast in the last 5 days of the month, and the biggest snow event around Thanksgiving since 2010. Still ended warm and dry. Remember the "bomb cyclone" in southern Oregon that month? Numbers sometimes just suck, but it is what it is. The coldest Black Friday in many years.

Fall 2019 was really something here. Convective…anomalous cold at times with some early season cascades snow and beautiful tree colors.

The thunderstorm outbreak in E. Oregon in early August 2019 was pretty prolific. They had tons of rain too and it essentially ended fire season. 

I had a severe thunderstorm Aug 10th 2019 at 3am. Ironic that it occurred after they cancelled the Watch, I waited all the previous evening for one. A rancher to my east in Olene has 1" hail and believes a tornado was near the ranch. Yeah the convection was wet, like it was in all of 2015 down here. 

Never got video of that storm. The wind and the rain made it impossible to tripod my equipment anywhere.
