One more day of 70`s, then cooler(some what)

Looking at the models here this evening, I see that they still show a weak 'cool' front/ dry type trough coming through for the Wed/Thurs period. Though could be a few showers here/ there, but for most part the 12z/18zGFS and 12zGEM/12zCanadian remain dry. After this weak frontal system/ trough comes through, it appears that weak surface ridging will be with us for Fri, but this surface ridge only looks to last a day. Then for the weekend, GFS/WRF show good N-NNWLY flow for some what cooler conditions. But not to cool as the models shows highs in the upper 50`s to low 60`s. And with this cool N-NNWLY flow, over night lows could be kinda cool with lows in the lower 40`s/ upper 30`s as 850mb are in the 0 to -2c for late this week and into the weekend. So will see what models continue to do as last nights models showed a more showery type trough where as todays is more drier. We`ll see what happens.

The first image shows the trough at 500mb coming through for Thurs morning with second image showing surface highs in the 50`s for Thurs afternoon.

  2. Hey Andy. Have you ever hiked up to third burroughs mountain? I think that you should try that hike if you haven't already. However, the snow will probably not be gone until late July, like usual.

  4. It is in Mount Rainier National Park. The trail starts at Sunrise. It is a very fun hike with a lot of wildlife and great views of Rainier.
