July 2021 PNW Weather Discussion


Recommended Posts

Smoke is quickly accumulating again east of the Cascades as onshore flow weakens.    Any ridging to the north right now would be very bad for the west side.

I saw this post last night and though, my God Jesse is angry. Then I read back through the comments and realized why.

Things get busy at work, I miss 12 hours on the forum and come back and we are looking at some real heat building back in. Looks like NWS is predicting 90+ at SLE 6 of the next 7 days. That would get them to 15 with one day left in the month, which is also looking like a 90+. We would have to run the table to match the 17 days of 90+ from July 2018, not out of the realm of possibility.

If the NWS forecast verifies SLE will be VERY close to July 2015. I calculated at face value they will end the month at 72.8 which would be the 2nd warmest July on record and only 0.3F behind 2015. If the heat over performs than we will be breaking new ground.

The upcoming pattern is actually pretty unusual in the context of the last 9 years.

Maybe similar in parts of the West as far as observed weather is concerned, but persistent large scale NW flow @ 500mb (as opposed to SW flow) hasn’t happened in the summer east of the Mississippi for almost a decade. I’ve been waiting for this type of pattern for a long a** time.  ⚡⚡⚡

I've never really had the desire to downvote en masse.  Might be a generational thing,  Too bad we don't have stickies here, you could post instructions for doing it so everyone could vent their frustrations en masse.

This is a really stupid comment.  No one on here is cheering for more extreme heat and smoke.

Another stupid comment.  Lets fine them for climate change being caused by the rest of the world when the western states are doing the most to make a difference.

The GFS is trending everyone's way... more reasonable temps and less chance of being inundated with smoke.

Let’s pray that it works out that way. Just going to enjoy the clean air while it lasts. Wether the smoke shows up in a week or 2-3 weeks out it’s probably going to happen eventually.

I was starting to think we would escape July with a max temp of 83 here but I guess not. Will be interesting to see how the month finishes up and how high it pushes the averages.

Can we have just 1 year without a perma-vortex in NE-Canada? Just one year? I don’t see why this should be so difficult.

Long range 12z GFS is the epitome of every problem we’ve had, wx-wise, over the last decade.

Phoenix was 83/73 yesterday with 0.80” rainfall. Nearly a third of their YTD precip in a single day.

That whole area got hammered yesterday with some good rainfall! Must be miserable today with the high humidity levels….yuk!  Moisture currently hanging just south of Phoenix.

12Z ECMWF shows 78 for a high at SEA today.    It's 77 at noon.   Cold bias is back with the marine layer inversion gone.

Lol it’s more depression than anger today. Kind of starting to seem like we may get some offshore flow and smoke filtering in eventually. Have been lucky up to this point to have lots of upper 70s and low 80s with blue skies.

And at least some sort of significant east wind event with a CCG during the next few weeks too. RIP to this area once that happens. There will be no way to stop the amount of fires that will rain into the city. Not even kidding, the University would be destroyed.

Up to 86F so it's going to be back to the 90s later this afternoon.

We will see what happens. I wouldn’t be surprised if summer actually came to an end earlier this year like some have discussed on here…in late August or early September. It’s always good to be prepared after what happened last year down that way but sometimes things end up not how we expect them to.

Yeah I went and looked through some of my mountain photos from right before the heatwave and from other years around a similar time. Striking difference can’t recall seeing the mountain so bare. Wonder what it’ll look like by the end of summer/early fall right before they start getting snow up there.

This is from July 30th last year……hoping to get up there this next week for another hike and I’ll snap another photo for comparison.
