This is a completely different situation and you know that. Not the point. Obviously this is completely different... the trough is staying offshore. This will not result in offshore flow or any additional issues on the west side. But troughing almost always brings windy conditions east of the Cascades with onshore flow. And that could be very problematic the next few days.

This is a completely different situation and you know that. One scenario that could really help the region out is what some people here live in absolute fear and dread of. A summer trough parking itself directly over the PNW for 3-4+ days with stratiform rain and drizzle at times. The problem is baking under ridging and warm anomalies for months/weeks then getting these glancing blows from weak troughs that aren’t even able to fully move through the region. Just enough to stir things up without any of the benefits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
