Bruh, I’d love a repeat of 2008 but this pattern ain’t it. At least not on the larger scale.
Maybe it can perform similarly locally in the PNW, though. Models have been overplaying western ridging all year, so perhaps you will escape the heat dome and score some dynamic troughs.
But the rest of us will probably be left on the sidelines to watch. I’m mentally prepared for a complete dud of a thunderstorm season, and brutal heat lasting well into the autumn months. Possibly followed by a blowtorch winter while you guys score blizzard after blizzard.
If I’ve correctly interpreted what you guys have told me about PNW thunderstorm setups, the D9 ECMWF projection looks like one. But maybe I’m misinterpreting something (if I am please edumacate me).
