Friday August 2
We now Enter the last full month of the summer season. The weather ahead looks exactly like one would expect for August in the PNW: Dry & Warm. Iced coffee time. Mug up, Patron!
Simple forecast for all the PNW: Dry through at least Aug 16. Temps will range from the 60s along the coast and bounce around between 85-95 degrees inland; tad cooler around the sound, tad warmer east side.
Thunderstorms / showers are possible the weekend of Aug 17,18; the first threat of widespread measurable precipitation around the PNW.
🌀Tropical Topical: DEBBY likely to be named soon. The dry, dusty Saharan Air Layer over the tropical Atlantic is lessened in the area around Cuba, where this system is now entering. Models are finally picking this up and pointing out possible tracks. The sooner it strengthens, the sooner it will make a more northerly turn; if it stays weak and crosses into Gulf of Mexico (GOMex), all bets are off. Some model projections run DEBBY up across central FL as a weak depression, then strengthening as it tracks up the eastern seaboard; outlier solutions run DEBBY into the GOMex, where all kinds of paths become possible, including crossing over FL then up the eastern seaboard or threatening the FL panhandle.
