Quote: | The latest extended forecasts (e.g., the NOAA/NWS CFSv2) do NOT indicate an unusually dry August (see below). The bottom line: after all the scary talk about a dry summer with catastrophic wildfires, it is becoming clear that such an apocalyptic scenario is becoming highly unlikely and you can enjoy the sunny days ahead without worry or concern. |
One man's opinion anyways.

For about one week with the probability of one short rainstorm somewhere in there.

First smoke yesterday visible towards Darrington yesterday morning and obvious throughout the west side back along I-5. It appears the smoke, which was diffuse, was below 10,000' from views of Mt. Rainier in the PM. The source was the fairly large fires (12,000 and 14,000 acres) near the Oregon/California border with SW winds bringing the smoke up. Winds will be better more west to NW next ten days.

Goes to show, predictions are only educated guesses at best. With everything around us changing constantly, no one is going to be able to accurately predict what will happen a year into the future. Or 12 years for that matter. Fires are not going to get worse every year.
Just like we won't get a foot of snow in the lowlands every year. The earths temperature is going to change like it always has. No one can predict where it's going, how long it will take to get there or tell us how to stop the cycle that it's always been in.

I personally love when people make hysterical long range forecasts that end up completely wrong.

Can we just be glad the state is not on fire right now? Other parts of the world haven't been so lucky.

Seems like you had to look through lots of threads to go back and find something to post for a personal vendetta.
We have been just really lucky this year as the snowpack especially NW Cascades and Olympics was very poor. There is essentially no neve left even on the Frying Pan Glacier right to the top as of about ten days ago. We got just enough moisture and cloud cover to keep it ok as regards moisture, but not for glaciers. This was one of the very worst years since the 1970's.

To be fair, I think and hope everybody knows this.
If not, I have a really expensive crystal ball that needs a new home. 🙂

I’ll take it....
ok, just kidding.
We have been lucky with the heat this year. I would rather hike in the pouring rain (like today)than have the heat and possible fires.

I'm glad you were wrong on this gb, as I'm sure you are! I've been liking having a summer that's more like the PNW summers we tended to get when we moved here in the '90s.
