Looks some mid level moisture from Deserts is coming in on Wednesday

Seems like a good bet as Niño forcing gets going. I think the worst of summer anomaly wise is pretty much right now for the SW and CA. Probably mid to late July for us. By August, I think the EPAC and monsoon should be raging enough to mitigate the 4CH. We'll be warm still of course but I reckon that our extreme amplification potential will be dramatically reduced there.

a blistering 82 here. breezy

Yet another 70 burger for PDX

Its about 80F. Perfect day for my son's "6-7" 10th birthday party in the shade by Pataha Creek. A far cry from March when it flooded. In the shade it probably feels about 72-75F so just about perfect. My father in law's house borders on a different growing classification because the other side of the creek is in the cooler side of the zone. Have about ten kids here plus a few adults we know who came. Lovely day. No too hot. Not smokey.
