tacoman25 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Much has been made of the extreme weather in 2011. Well, add this to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Weather's been pretty darn dreary here indeed. A ton of rain. I know the Fraser River up north in B.C. is threatening to flood, which pretty much never happens during the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the Fraser River up north in B.C. is threatening to flood, which pretty much never happens during the summer. I used to live in Tacoma. Isn't the potential flooding partially due to late snowmelt, also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Yes, due to the cold, the snow pack has lasted for quite a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Dreary indeed. Even July. We've had plenty of nice days, but way more cloudy, dreary days than normal for July. And it only looks to continue. We've still only seen a handful of days in the 80s (six to be exact), and none in the 90s... way fewer than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all my years of living in Oregon, never remembered having a summer without at least one 90 degree day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacoman25 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 High of just 63 so far at PDX today...17 degrees below normal. There have only been two days on record at PDX from July 10-31 that had highs below 64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huronicane Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 After the summer we're having in Oklahoma...that Oregon/Washington weather sounds A-OK to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Side note from the east coast - that 116 in VA is only because 2010 was 117 (record warmest). taco - I don't like your PDO flip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixotic1 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Meanwhile, at the other end of the spectrum...... It's amazing to me that OR and WA have the coldest APR/JUN ever while 1,500 miles away, TX had their warmest ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, for the east coast the -NAO tendency over the past few years has also had major implications for winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
