Yes... could be persistently rainy and cold. Looks like 8 of the 10 days on the 12Z ECMWF have a decent amount of sun.

72F and beautiful sunshine. June looks like it'll be above normal again so that will tie the record of 15 consecutive months above normal for EUG.

Not down here. Lower 500mb heights but hotter surface temps due to W/SW flow instead of S/SE. Seen that pattern play out a million times, it is a deceiver. Only positive is convection won’t be entirely shut down like it is currently. But downsloping will keep it confined to the mountains without a true 500mb trough/vort to boost mid-level lapse rates.

Lol you were driving by and I was probably right in one of these jobsites cleaning out a generator. Boss man has me out here doing the not so fun maintenance projects on this fine holiday.

The Pacific CCKW/MJO signal is still there on the EPS weeklies. Maybe a bit faster/shallower, but it hasn’t been pushed back (yet). I’ll probably eat crow for this but I think we could see this pattern take a break sometime during the 2nd/3rd week of July. Could be a very short lived break, but a break nonetheless. Very likely it will come roaring back when forcing returns to the IO-E-Hem again later in July, probably even worse than before. But at this point I’ll happily accept that deal. Or maybe I’m wishcasting. I certainly got ahead of myself w/rt early June +PNA, and it was a very similar situation in terms of tropical forcing/MJO. I suppose we’ll find out.
