Mallow Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Also known as "Mallow talks to himself" Glad I'm not in Portland today. 103°F http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/getobext.php?wfo=sew&sid=kpdx&num=60&banner=on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aslkahuna Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Seattle set a record for the warmest month ever in July with an average temperature of 71.2F breaking the old record of 71.1 set in 1967. Also we have a new record for number of 90+ days with 12. Been a remarkably sunny, warm and very dry Summer here. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallow Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Yep, Portland is about to break their old record of 90+ days with... I think it's going to be numbers 25 and 26 this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Major wind storm up here in BC and WA today. At least 400k without power in both areas and also abnormally early for a storm like this. Impact exacerbated by the lack of leaf fall on the branches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 If you scroll about mid-way down of the weather page on King 5 you'll see some of the damage this storm caused yesterday. A dynamic storm for this time of year. http://www.king5.com/weather/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADKwx Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Trying to revive this thread from the dead (was it ever alive?) and maybe help bring in some Pacific NW posters (I know you're out there!?) Hopefully this doesn't end up in me talking to myself, like Mallow. Warm and wet continues with Seattle running 4.7 above norm and we're guaranteed to smash our wettest winter on record. Good job if you based your entire winter forecast on El Nino for precip!(sarcasm) 2 days of 63 or above this month; before that, only one such day in the previous 20 Februarys. Doesn't look like there is much of an end in sight. Models in good agreement on PNA-ish pattern in the medium range after a couple of 'colder' systems pushing through today and tomorrow. That'll mean continued warm for sure, but perhaps a little drier. I dare not say sunnier, yet, although at some point it does look like we'll have some weak offshore flow.

ADKwx Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 In the relatively 'lower' elevations of the Cascades around or above 3-4,000 feet, this might be the last chance for decent snows at least for awhile. Good time to head up to Baker, Crystal, and Stevens. Snoqualmie pass not great at the base, but better higher up, and this weekend should be okay. https://opensnow.com/state/WA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADKwx Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I'm not going to give up so easily, like Mallow. Unfortunately I don't think this upcoming weather pattern is really good for anyone out west, although it will be nice to have some sunshine and spring-like temperatures up here in Washington. Warmth looks well above normal, but not record-breaking. Thursday in Seattle has a shot, with a record of only 61. Will likely have low-mid 60s for many locales, including coastal spots, by the end of the week. That said, the offshore flow looks relatively weak, and will be more pronounced for California. Just what they need. Portions of the Cascades, and especially southern Oregon & northern California still looked good as of February 1st, but greens and yellows are showing up more, as the daily updates can testify: ftp://ftp.wcc.nrcs.usda.gov/data/water/wcs/gis/maps/west_swepctnormal_update.pdf Even next week as the pattern likely turns a bit wetter again, it still looks relatively mild with higher than normal snow levels.

Mercurial Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 The snowpack here in NW MT is pretty terrible right now. Our snowpack here in Whitefish seems to fluctuate between zero and a few inches depending on where you measure. Normally we have snowpack well into March if not April, even down here at the valley floor. February has been brutal... one of our worst ever.
