Another perfect day on tap! After a high yesterday of 91 degrees I had a low this morning of 51, Im really enjoying the cool mornings and the hot afternoons. Working this morning but will be at the lake by noon!

Elevation 580’ Location a few miles east of I-5 on the Snohomish Co side of the Snohomish/Skagit border. I love snow/cold AND sun/warmth!

Who's ready for a warm August?

 

August is typically a warm month. 

 

As I said the CFS is trending towards temperatures being average to only slightly above during the winter months, especially late winter. Right now precip is looking below average, especially the further north one goes.

 

The latest CFS ensembles show the Nino 3.4 region peaking in the 2.5-3.0 range and dropping below +0.5 by April.

I mean relative to average.

 

I really don't care what the CFS is saying.

Feels nice this morning.

 

72 at SEA, 8 degrees cooler than yesterday at this time. This after a low of at most 60. I'm sure they'll still hit 90 though late this afternoon.

70's, marine influenced mornings but otherwise sunny?

Basically... not much marine influence away from the coast. Upper 70s and low 80s for the week for Seattle.

just got married in Everett. The weather is perfect. 78° with brief but often breezes of cool air and nearly a cloud in the sky.

Just got married and your first thought is to post on here?? :)

 

Congratulations!

Good to see the 12z Euro ensemble mean even troughier than the operational.

All the models now agree on progressively moving the trough over us next week, as opposed to spinning offshore and leaving us in the warm/humid sector. Should make for nicer weather with lower humidity/cooler nights.

McMinnville fell from a high of 103 yesterday to 51 this morning. Nice and contrasty!

 

OLM went from a high of 98 to 47 by dawn.

 

So nice to see a return to our normal dry heat after all the humid crap of the past few years.

Yes, dangerously parched soils, low water levels, and extreme fire conditions that kill and/or maim already endangered species are so much better than moisture, greenery, and plentiful thunderstorm opportunities.

 

I hope it never humidifies again!

Wow! Last time I try to find the silver lining in a warm spell.

 

Our humid warm period at the end of June sure did wonders for the fish/water levels.

So with PDX making it to at least as much today, it serves as the first time since July 1994 they've seen four straight at 97+.

Looks like they hit at leat 98.

 

100 at EUG, SLE, and CVO.

Four straight for Eugene. I suspect it's been a long time for them considering they often get cut off on the back end of events.

 

Looks like it's been since the 1981 event for Eugene. Funny thing is this event's numbers, while somewhat comparable, doesn't even come close to holding a candle to the upper level support in 1981.

My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

Warm Blob strikes again! :P

 

The temperature dropped 17 degrees here, from 98 to 81, over the 3 hours from 4:45 to 7:45 pm.  Each of the last few days, it was still around 97 at this time of the evening, so a big change.

 

Looks like a nice SW push.

A true moral quagmire. Do we root for the sticky wetness, which is the essence of beauty, or do we root for the comparative comfort of plankton massacring, forest fire inducing sub 50 dewpoints?

Yeah, but the 1981 event produced much more impressive numbers overall for the PNW.

A forum for the end of the world.
