Though with E-Hem/Indian Ocean MJO/CCKWs next month, that fat, ugly 4-corners/plains ridge is only going to get fatter and uglier. I fear a top-5 hot August is in store for the lower-48. And September is looking progressively worse of late, as well. Even squinting, I don’t see any real hope on the horizon. Thank God this is opposite Phil summer. I look forward to #iceage starting in August Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 It was clear it would get hot again at some point this summer. Our four weeks of onshore flow with temps just 2-4 degrees above average was pretty pleasant. I guess the most one can hope for is it is a relatively short lived event with some sort of pattern change on the far side. Although we all know the odds are low of either being the case. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 The crazy thing is how insanely hot this month has already been in the western US, especially east of the Cascades and south of the Willamette Valley.

We all know it’s been modestly warm north of Portland in western WA compared to the region like has been discussed many times recently thanks again for the heads up. Here’s the issue though…a few people said right after the heatwave this summer could go on to be like 2015 and backed off…and here you are a month later still letting everyone know about it because you need to let everyone know how smart you are. People aren’t even arguing about 2015 at this point it’s all you. Funny thing is it’s about to get warmer and bump this months averages up and august could still even push us to record territory for the summer as a whole. 3 2 Quote Tacoma WA elevation 300’ Monthly rainfall-3.56” Warm season rainfall-11.14” Max temp-88 +80 highs-2 +85 highs-2 +90 highs-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 Looks like convection propagates out of the West-Pacific by the start of week-2. There’s lag time/reverberations globally, but overall the system seems to want to correct back to the La Niña type circulation faster than last month. 1 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLI snowman Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 BLI is at 38 consecutive days without measurable rain. Their record is 54 days, a mark which now stretches to the end of the current GFS range. There's really no rain or meaningful troughing anywhere in sight, so they have a good chance of breaking that record as it stands right now. SEA has to get to 55 days to tie their record, and they are also on a 38 day streak. Again, a pretty decent chance they get there. PDX has a much longer way to go to hit their record of 71 days, but something tells me they'll do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second half of August is our best case scenario for some decent rain to return, although the last two decades have taught me not to put any faith into August. If balance was still even remotely a thing in the climate universe then one would historically anticipate some significant rain and summer coming to a screeching halt around August 20 given how crooked things have been. My suspicion is that it'll wait a few more weeks this year just for some extra torture. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showed about 0.06" for PDX on Wednesday on a 90 degree day. Doesn't look like a particularly convective setup with the limited instability and forcing, and none of the other models show the same little batch of showers so my guess would be it's out to lunch.
