powderfreak Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Not boring standing in 40-50mph winds right now assessing the zip line and Gondola top. At least there are the little interesting things each day. Could use a hat and some gloves though. NW44G53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could use some more rain though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Within one standard deviation of dead boring...our departures are similar to the rest of you in boringness. Haha, reminds me how I used to love when MRG Pete would be like +6 for a month but say it has been a cold summer since it didn't hit 90+ at 2kft.

I guess that's what happens when you have been spoiled for years with previous wet summers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but I don't even consider wet to be exciting unless it's with a big thunderstorm...but yeah at least reporting rain amounts and watching radar even for stratiform -RN is more exciting than CLR, but don't feel like you missed any fun events being dry haha.

Dews and temps dont get me off like DIT though. Easily the most boring time of year for "exciting weather" in our area...but often our Septembers are really nice for outdoor activities. Even hot September days don't feel like the same temp in July with the much weaker sun angle...a 90F day in September just doesn't have the teeth that it does in high summer. But we get a ton of those 70-82 type days and the nights become a bit crisper. Great month for outdoors, but bad month for tracking local weather on the forums.

J Paul Gordon Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Correct me if I'm wrong, but the start to the school year last year seemed exceptionally brutal for heat and humidity... not nearly as bad this year or so it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol GFS showing pretty normal fluctuations after this coming weekend, though. Nothing too crazy yet. Will be interesting to see if there are any longer range changes in predictions when CPC mid monthlies come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We usually get a few interesting events, but man.....so quiet lol. Ah well. It's been a good summer otherwise. Unfortunately, I think the systems scooting off of NC have deflected what could have been a heck of a cool shot. Still should be a nice airmass.

Today's a nice air mass, high of 71F so far. Most of the obs have been like 70/55 or 68/55 in the valley, we are all in jackets on the mountain, haha.

The only thing that's changed is we're moving into September but positive departures will not apparently be leaving. Less humid? Of course! It's moving into autumn.

Patterns are funny things...they don't always change the sensible wx in a single location...even in the winter when patterns exert more influence on sensible wx. Remember our "relaxation" pattern in the 2nd week of February 2015? Pretty much the entire CONUS torched except for one little corner called New England that got stuck just north of a little propagating wave that produced 20"+ of snow over 3 days in BOS while it was like 70F in VA and 60s in the Midwest. So yeah, the pattern definitely changed, but our parade of snow and cold did not in SNE...we would have never known the pattern changed unless we looked at the weather in DC or Chicago, lol. So yeah, maybe Jerry was right...but we ended up with a lot of the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed it was cold pool day for everyone but obviously not 60s like up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
