We had some decent snow falls from Snoqualmie pass to Ellensburg between 2019 and 2021, the most we one season which closed the entire I-90 for a whole week between North Bend and Ellensburg was 2021.
So far we’re having an El Niño summer in Mt. Hottest stretch I’ve seen in June/July-especially night time temps. Strange year, every year. Consistency is gone in my 55 years.
@@icls9129 🤣 I go right to the weather spirits with my order. I don’t always get exactly what I order but it was a nice wet and cooler Spring, and this is an unusual mid-summer rain/drizzle/mist. With La Niña coming back maybe we’ll have a wetter, cooler fall, winter, and spring coming up.
Hello Mr. Sinder...you have a gift at explaining complex wx to the layman. If you have time ..could you explain "Seasonal Drift" after the earth reaches solstices some night? Lol I was getting neg with you went tornado hunting and missed a few of your AM PNW WX. Thank You,..Great work you do!!
When I was working in the weather field in San Diego, the local meteorologists referred to "La Nadad", or The Nothing, when the Nino 3.4 temperature anomaly was between 0.5 to -0.5 C
Here in Mt. Hood National Forest, we had the weirdest snow season last year, better said this year when they thought we weren’t going to have any snow at all but we had lots. Weather was crazy last winter.
The Great Lakes and Upper Midwest just now had its first dry stretch lasting more than 3 days since February! The last 10-15 years (with the exception of last year) have been exceptionally wet and/or snowy. I wonder if that is because of the long-lasting negative phase of the PDO, which doesn't get talked about nearly enough in my opinion as a driver of regional decadal climate trends.
We had recorded breaking snow in Bend Oregon in January of 2017. That winter was very crazy and hard. I'm not sure what we were in at that point though
Hey Mikey,we likey!!!bring on the rain,dry digging here in eldorado,but I beeped a 1897quater dollar silver yesterday.great condition.keep on beeping bro.eldo out.105'past Three days.
Watch California get slammed again despite the predictions. That’s what happened in winter ‘22-‘23. Predicted to have a “75%” of average winter and some places in the southern sierras ended up 350%!! That’s why it’s never easy. If a rex block sets up, MJO is at least lightly active, some light westerlies and moisture available, somewhere on the west coast gets annihilated. That’s what happened in January and March of ‘23. Cali never got a break and the 3 year terrible drought was wiped out completely and then some. So I guess we’ll see.
@@coolwiz7994 yup. I live in Reno. 22-23 winter was snow on the streets from late October through early May. Mid wintaaaa was shoveling at least 3x/wk. but I can’t complain. My friends in mammoth…no words to state the intensity of that amount of snowfall. Average 150 dump truck loads of snow removal a day for 4.5 months straight. Had to take it to bishop🤯
Great video with lots of great info. I was an AG aka weather guy in the Navy and I appreciate just how much detail you covered while adequately explaining for the uninitiated. Not too basic not too complex! Subbed!
The same is true here in Western WA. We'll be lucky if it hits 70 today. There has been little rain in WA in the last year. We had a few days of 80+ F temperatures. Normally, WA is cool until August, but with much more rain.
Yay, more educational content! Thanks, Michael! I have washed my car for the first time in a couple of years, so we should be primed for a good La Niña, right? Unrelated, unless early fall/winter happens, but is anyone else experiencing a really early spider season? Its my least favorite PNW season 😅🕷️
Here in SE Arizona I've never had such a humid summer. But rain is sparse. When I look at the forecast rain is always one week away! Then it happens someplace else.
For the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, do you think we are probably going to see a repeat of last year's record warm winter with very little lake effect snow due to a strong eastward-displaced Aleutian Low in the Gulf of AK and strongly negative PNA and PDO, or do you think we'll see more variability for the northern Great Lakes region?
I'm Lonnie, I live in Idaho's panhandle in western Idaho in Post Falls and I am trying to figure out what cycle we are in ? La Nina? EL Nino or neutral cycle? Our temps are higher than normal for this time of year. I don't think 100 degrees is normal for the panhandle but becoming more normal each Summer.
Living in Minnesota. Spring is very important to me after winter, I hate winter. Looking at your below normal temps for April. Is it a signal of a cold snowy Apri? Or to far out to know?
We live in W WA because snow, water, which results in lower fire risk, green landscape, sufficient water supply...and those who complain still really need to look into leaving for Eastern WA, etc., if this place is painfull. :) It's OK! Everyone has an environment they will thrive in! This is one environment, but there are many others too.
It is painful for some older people with arthritis & joint problems to live in the pnw. My doc told me to go to a warm dry climate. I do for months at a time for work sometimes...and I most definitely "feel" and notice an abrupt change.
Hoping this upcoming winter will be the one for a lot of cold and snow for southern Ontario I wanna plan to build the biggest igloo possible and for the very best I wanna make the inside 5 m tall and for the width 7 m. For December January, February I am in the slightly above seasonal temperatures with above average precipitation which can mean more snow and if all that above average precipitation is snow, then it will also means colder winters as well due to the snow, reflecting sunlight. Every day I think about winter and when it comes to my mind about summer I am like 🙁👎 but winter and Christmas 😃👍.
We DO note that the predicted climate temperature change seems to have been correct according to those models, Though summer dry season has significantly lengthened, the PNW southern coastal region was cold - meaning 50s F, for longer than usual in spring into summer, just as the longer dry period before coastal precip has extended northward within the past fifty years. The fire seasons to which so many commenters refer, have to do not only with spring precip allowing growth before heat extremes, but also the temperature/fire/drought dependence, which varies as ecosystems vary. Thus, heavy boreal fire occurrence occurs at temperatures many US populations regard as moderate. We humans still more adapted to tropic-subtropic climate, tend to berelatively intolerant oftemperatjre variation, dying in 50s F, and in 90+, when our sweat glands cannot relieve us. Your culture tends to artificially, locally insulate you from the earth, and the development of artificial cooling uses greater energy than does warming of your shelters. Our species favors rich estuarine habitats, first densely clustering by water. Any culture ceasing seasonal migration tends to become irrationally irascible in significant ways. We do not remain cool, nor hold to warm feelings toward strangers. Since islands, moderated by oceanic reduction in variation, are limited in size and we have saturated all those amenable to our species, most are stuck with the continental climates occurring varying distances from water bodies. Try, of course, not to exteriorize your discomfort to any organism or person to whom you do not feel attached!
Oh and just bought a Tempest, should get here next week. It would be cool do do a video on optimal placement of a home weather station based on different areas (I live in a residential area with houses stacked on top of each other 😢)
Hey, Boss, you forgot to tie ENSO and JMO into monsoons if there exists a connection. Didn’t know about PDO so hit NWS glossary in the middle of the video. Epic update to all your ENSO videos. Let’s hope the winter will deliver. ❤❤❤
Hey Michael you should check out the TAO updates, that subsurface cold packet is getting absolutely huge! Is there any reason why you didn't bring the TAO in the vid, just curious
@@pocketsizedrockette. The water we save is a drop in the bucket. It’s a state scam to excuse their ineptitude and corruption. They need to build desalination plants! The water used by residents is 12% of total water used in California,
Seems we haven't seen neutral cycle for awhile, the El Nino and La Nina have been battling it out tit for tat the last several years in the way of climatic changes and weather patterns in the United States of America.
Anyone can discuss the charts provided by NOAA as well as the thier interpretations. I ask you to explain why the the cooler water rising from the sea bottom to create La Nina. In general this report is a big maybe because no one really knows the actual reason

Sighs where I live it’s looking like no rain I remember those La Nina’s dry as a lizard need rain badly.
I heard we were in a Neutral position which would moderate temperatures to normal for different areas.
Not so hot in the PNW.
Great stuff! I’m an old fire guy from Colorado and as you may know we’re all a bunch of weather geeks.

Absolutely thorough possible weather change pattern. No one else on the web beats Michael’s model predictions. 👍

It's a global cycle related to the Pacific Ocean and how and when it releases heat. We understand some, but not all of this process
