All that warmth aloft setting up some inversions and ventilation issues. There’s a sandwich of low level fog/stratus below and another solid deck above. Could get gloomy

Of course, we could have a bad season, but at their best, you can’t beat this place.

Damn, Seattle. 58/52 under a cloudy inversion is more of a May thing, but you do you. We normally wouldn't see such temperatures in mid January unless there were a screaming AR right overhead. It says a lot about the volume of today's ridge. Much more summer climo-like weather above a mile up. I'm surprised these warm front influenced/gunky midwinter ridges haven't grown more common over the years. Meanwhile: 51/31 at PDX, 48/29 at SLE, 49/26 at EUG, and 45/26 at MDF.

Okie dokie. If we have a truly gloomy spring and early summer through June you will be crawling out of your skin based on past comments you have made.

Stop it. We have the best summers on the planet. Snow days here are magical. Fall colors are superb in mountains. Spring flowers are INCREDIBLE. This place is magical. This particular season just sucks.
