Timmy Supercell Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 I'm not sure what route we should continue to take for the fires and overall summer. Just two more weeks of windy/dry/sunny days with below 10% humidity? I know lightning is another evil but some kind of outbreak or two soon might sound nice.

Wouldn’t take much effort at all for it to end up one of the hottest on record at this point, Mr. Spiketheballatthe42yardline. Did I not just call it a historic heatwave? There was hyperbole galore about the rest of the summer and the general downfall of the climate during and after it...it's ok to acknowledge it was pretty over the top. And so far, there's no denying that aside from the heatwave, it's been a fairly typical summer. And no sign of any real heat on the way. Though the current dry streak is certainly becoming notable. 1 1 Quote A forum for the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was it like before the fire, if you remember? I never got to see it, and the big field of sticks is what I know of Santiam Pass. Up in the subalpine zone the forest will take decades to recover. I knew that area very well before it burned. I had just turned 19 when the fire started. We had actually been in Sisters a couple days before, so I got to see it one final time before it burned. It was a beautiful area. The forest from Lost Lake up to Hogg Rock was particularly beautiful. Big mature Douglas and Noble Fir. Up on the pass itself the forest was a little more stunted, but it was a full forested area, it looked absolutely nothing like it does now. At the time I did not realize how it would never recover in my lifetime. It's hard to believe it has been nearly twenty years when driving through there. The Beachie Creek burn scar will probably heal much quicker being lower elevation. The area east of the pass, above Suttle Lake burned in 2002, the year before the B&B Fire. 1 Quote Snowfall Precip 2022-23: 95.0" 2022-23: 17.39" 2021-22: 52.6" 2021-22: 91.46" 2020-21: 12.0" 2020-21: 71.59" 2019-20: 23.5" 2019-20: 58.54" 2018-19: 63.5" 2018-19: 66.33" 2017-18: 30.3" 2017-18: 59.83" 2016-17: 49.2" 2016-17: 97.58" 2015-16: 11.75" 2015-16: 68.67" 2014-15: 3.5" 2013-14: 11.75" 2013-14: 62.30 2012-13: 16.75" 2012-13: 78.45 2011-12: 98.5" 2011-12: 92.67" It's always sunny at Winters Hill!

It was an historic heatwave, but what I was saying is that if it were something more in line with climo, much of the region would still be in a high-end position with respect to warm anomalies. It has generally been a pretty reasonable July, for at least a decent chunk of the region… Flatiron/Jim FTW!!! 1 Quote My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

Was riding in the car so not the best quality. This was about as lush a forest you would ever find in W. Oregon. "Little Sweden" Just outside of Gates near Minto Park The former townsite of Detroit. There were several blocks of houses between this spot and the lake. You can see the campers some folks are living in as they wait to rebuild. It really was a gorgeous drive before. Even when I was really young my eyes would always be glued to the window from Stayton to Bend/Sunriver. In a way it still is, and at lower elevation I’ll see it recover over the next several years, but it’s sad driving through and seeing just how much of the canyon burned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a way I have come to some measure of peace with it. It was and probably always will be one of the more traumatic events of my life. Not only the terror of having to evacuate at a moments notice as the fire bore down on us, but also losing so many places we loved, knowing so many people who lost everything. But I did gain a lot more empathy. When I hear about a wildfire in California or some other place causing people to flee, that hits home a lot harder now. 1 Quote Snowfall Precip 2022-23: 95.0" 2022-23: 17.39" 2021-22: 52.6" 2021-22: 91.46" 2020-21: 12.0" 2020-21: 71.59" 2019-20: 23.5" 2019-20: 58.54" 2018-19: 63.5" 2018-19: 66.33" 2017-18: 30.3" 2017-18: 59.83" 2016-17: 49.2" 2016-17: 97.58" 2015-16: 11.75" 2015-16: 68.67" 2014-15: 3.5" 2013-14: 11.75" 2013-14: 62.30 2012-13: 16.75" 2012-13: 78.45 2011-12: 98.5" 2011-12: 92.67" It's always sunny at Winters Hill!

snow_wizard Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 No doubt the model runs that link the eastern GOA cutoff low with the out of season PV the deeper the trough we end up with over the NW in the 5 to 7 day period. The 12z ECMWF was a big step in the right direction vs the 0z. Meanwhile...another very pleasant day today. Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

TT-SEA Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 This pattern being shown for next weekend and into the following week appears to be different at the surface than our current pattern of the marine layer moving inland each morning and burning back to the coast... the ECMWF is insisting that this pattern is devoid of almost all marine layer clouds even at the coast. Its just wall to wall sunshine for the most part after Saturday morning.

Hoping for a soaker in mid-July is just unrealistic in our climate. Yeah....July has always been very dry here. As I've mentioned before it was actually drier during the first quarter of the 20th century when the Pacific High totally dominated over the 4CH. One thing we all know for sure is the troughs will come later this year. There is always two sides of the coin in these amplified regimes. 1 Quote Death To Warm Anomalies!

SilverFallsAndrew Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 The other thing we should mention. These fires really are related to climate change. Once an area like the Bootleg Fire is impacting burns, it will not regrow with the same vegetation that previously was there. Some of these areas may never be forested again (At least for the next few hundred years.), these fires are part of the process of climate change changing our region.
