Will this be the start of a dry month trend into the Summer/Fall? Let's see! Hopefully, the smoke isn't as bad as last year though.

I hope we get some good t-storm days this year!

Same here, but I doubt it.

On another note, I've seen 2 fires this week started in the median of the road and at a mall from discarded cigarettes. One involved the fire dept. showing up. Smokers are pathetic trash.

Just heard about this today. Totally shocking. Absolutely horrible. I loved reading and listening to his stuff. He was really good at what he did. This is so sad.

Models are beginning to lock in on a monster ridge building in during the middle of next week. Could lock into a Rex block pattern. Wouldn’t surprise me if we stayed dry or nearly dry thru mid May.

That would pretty much guarantee a cool/wet June. Warm/dry May and June combos are pretty rare; 2015 being a notable recent exception.

Maybe. Can’t think of any warm ENSO/ cool June’s this century though.

What about last year? Was June wet over there? It was slightly warm and drier than normal over here.

June was pretty seasonal if I remember correctly. Some rain some sun. It was a beautiful stretch right up until that string of heatwaves starting around July 8 or so.

Precip here has been just 54% of normal over the last 3 months. Next weeks warm spell could take out what is left of the snowpack, appears to be less than 50% on the southern island now.

Could see some offshore flow develop next week with a warm airmass overhead. First shot of upper 20s looks possible.

The 00Z NCEP model run on the EPS Gram shows potential for almost 25C around the 13th in Vancouver. Score!

No thanks..
But some showers popping up in the valley today.
