Pacific NW Weather: Pattern Change, Heat and Lightning Threat

I enjoyed the cooler weather and my garden loved the 0.14” of rain. The Tempest station works great, it’s great to know exactly how much rain my yard got, not how wet the pavement got at the airport. Thanks for your great info

Thanks for enlarging many of your forecast maps to include Idaho and NW Montana! Great synopsis as usual. 😁

Thanks, Michael! I already miss the cooler wetter weather. Stay cool everyone!

THANKS FOR THE SMOKE FORECAST!🤓👍👍

Greetings from Friday Harbor, nice rain Monday & the marine layer has been thick the last 2 mornings. Alot of horns on the water with the heavy fog. Looking forward to warming up but then not much wind for sailing. Cheers Michael

Well you were spot on with that little loan cutting down from the jet stream with rain late last sun mon and Tuesday… garden loved it 💫☀️🤦🏼‍♀️🌺

Thanks for covering the weather in south eastern Washinton!

Great presentation, Michael! The more often I watch your videos, the more I understand. The smoke and lightning potentials are especially helpful.

Thank you so much for the informative and useful daily weather forecasts, Michael. I've been watching your videos for the past two years and you've been immensely helpful to me, especially considering that I spend a lot of time outside. Keep it up 👍

I'm in Eastern Washington, after watching your video, I posted the models and forecast for the Monsoon you say is coming. it was quickly pointed out that NO ONE is agreeing with your forecast, and that we are supposed to have a mild overcast with no lightning, smoke, or convective cells. I'm sticking with your forecast because if I'm right all of the area forecasters will be wrong, or I will be. I ordered the Tempest unit, and when I get it, I'll install it, ask you to add Yakima to your forecasts, and likely give you a bit of pay to do it. Sure hope you're right on this one, don't want egg on my face! LOL

Have a great day Michael! And yes I've been enjoying this cooler weather. ahhh 😎

Thank you for including the Tri Cities in some of your graphics. It is helpful to get your perspective on our weather potentials as you are extremely competent and thorough in your forecasting. You are well worth the time watching your weather videos.

Thanks Michael! I'd trade the upcoming weather for a 20degree, 20 MPH east wind in a heartbeat. Waiting patiently. ☃❄🍃

Anytime the term "X degrees above average" is used, the 'average' is generally a recent historic 30 year (I believe) value. If a 100 year 'average' were taken (a more honest figure), then X would be substantially larger. I look at 2024 as the year that climate change, coast to coast, really ratcheted up.

Thanks Micheal. 19 degrees c now, only 16.5 last night.

This July will end up as the warmest on record in Spokane,approximately 78.2 degrees.Record is 77.5 set in 2021.

Ugh, Boss, I didn’t return to Washington from Texas because of this! But I worry about the drought maps and what yearly drought accumulation does to area aquifers. ❤❤❤

Looking forward to the warmer temps again.

Gotta drive through central WA on Monday, from Idaho to Seattle. And the A/C just failed in my wife's go kart. Might hafta borrow my daughter's car for the week. Good thing it is technically still mine so she can;t say no. 😎

Ugh... please no more lightning/fires.
