Temperatures are going to zoom into the 90s on Sunday and I discuss the weather situation below.
A major ridge will develop over the western U.S. (see forecast upper-level map for 5 PM Sunday). Such a ridge is associated with sinking, warm air and very dry conditions.
Easterly flow will develop over the Cascades, bring enhanced warming on the western slopes and a thermal trough of heat-driven low pressure will move northward out of California. The surface weather map predicted for 8 PM Saturday illustrates the very warm pattern. Wow. Very warm temperatures over Oregon, with the Willamette Valley getting over 100F. You can see the thermal low extending into SW Washington.
But it will be Sunday that will be the warmest day over Puget Sound, followed by cooling on Monday. All explained in my video.
Update: the audio is fine...but there is problem with the video... I will redo it later. It will take time for me to get this right!
Are you going to post the audio as a podcast?
ReplyDeleteWell done presentation.Please keep doing these when the weather is interesting.Don't forget to include Eastern Washington in the discussions,too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cliff!! Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteGreat discussion Cliff!
ReplyDeleteThanks, cliff. You're a mensch!
ReplyDeleteNicely done Cliff, in depth and much more informative than the few minutes on KNKX. Definitely the best weather blog anywhere!
ReplyDeleteI’ve always been confused by "ridging". Is the height of the atmosphere heaping up like a mountain ridge, or it is more of a metaphor for the northward bend of pressure lines that look like a topographic ridge on a topo map?
ReplyDeleteYou might appreciate Dr Mass' book on the weather of the Pacific Northwest. I need to refer to it often when reading his weather blogs. Good stuff.
DeleteWow, thank you for the video. What a great way to learn more about weather. It is so nice to see you explain things. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteWell done...please continue your teaching!
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased to hear you on this Friday evening. I have followed you for years and plan to find you wherever you may be.
ReplyDeleteI support ALL The words, wisdom and opinions you have expressed and am behind you 100%. ❤️
Hi, Cliff and John. I'm chiming in with John since I live in Spokane and rely daily on your weather forecasts, models, discussions, and photos daily all year long. (I post some of your photos on Facebook fairly often.) Thank you, Cliff. Thank you very much. Do please keep doing this. I'm grateful also for your very thoughtful blog on KNKX. You enlightened me. Spokane Paula
ReplyDeleteI also live in Spokane.
DeleteThanks, I really enjoyed that. It's much better to be able to see the graphics and to watch the presentation according to my schedule. Who needs KNKX anyway?!
ReplyDeleteAnother Canuck Fan! Thanks, Cliff- you are going the extra mile in so many ways:)-Cristina
DeleteExcellent! I hope that you continue the video presentations. Very informative and educational. Including Oregon is appreciated. Tom in Hood River.
ReplyDeleteThis is better than KNKX. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI love these presentations! This is great! Keep it up Cliff!
ReplyDeleteI like this approach! I actually feel better informed.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cliff. I really liked this format. Keep doing that. I feel like I am in your classroom.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this style of presentations. So informative and the visuals and explanations bring it all together. THANKS Cliff.
ReplyDeleteWonderful video!! Much better than any of your radio segments of the past. Now we can see visuals related to your superb discussions.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cliff! Great to have visual aids - what a terrific presentation. Please keep doing these!
ReplyDeleteThanks Cliff. I really enjoyed the video and am sending it to my 13 year old granddaughter. With schools going to online education this fall, presentations like this add extra to a student's education.
ReplyDeleteCliff - I love the video presentation; very helpful for weather novices like me to understand! Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteLove the new format. Keep up the videos please! Who needs radio anyway? :-)
ReplyDeletemid nineties in mid august? could this be a record for that date?
ReplyDeleteThank you Cliff. Who needs KNKX? This is much better!
ReplyDeleteCliff: Thank you for the video. I like it better than the KNKX Friday morning discussion. It helps having your explanation to go along with the charts. Very high data-to-ink ratio!
ReplyDeleteI wish that I had signed up for a monthly donation to KNKX during their recent pledge drive. Then I'd be able to shut it off! Thank you.
The map showing wind speed and direction does not include Whatcom County for good reason as the northerlies Cliff discussed have generally not materialized here - at least not of the magnitude of those shown on the wind speed/direction map. At my location in NW Bellingham, the maximum gust I've measured today is 12 mph from the west. It's also been considerably warmer here than forecast (Weather Channel). Yesterday's maximum temperature was 77F and today's is 85F. Both values are more than 5 degrees above the forecast maximum temperatures. Additionally, it's been somewhat muggy here. The maximum dew point temperature today was 65F which contributed to a maximum "feels like" temperature of 99F. Central AC is delightful to have today and will be down right essential tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteCliff: Love the new narrated weather presentation. I can't say enough about how lucky we all are to have you demystifying complex weather events for us,and in particular, standing up for what you believe in.
