Sunset at Ahihi Bay

A Hot Shot

So no thunderstorms, no washouts, and well kind of boring weather still.  Plain old cloudy mornings and a guessing game of when the sky will turn from grey and puffy to bright and blue.  I'm going to attempt to make the last two days interesting...  Tuesday was super cloudy where the sun was trying to make an early comeback by peeking through the clouds every now and finally minutes before sunset  aaah ( that was suppose to be that one holy sound) orange light filled our living rooms;  night fell and the clouds rolled back in.  Wednesday was a day when forecasters called for a mostly cloudy day and drizzly.  If you were present and aware of what was happening outside the sun was out in full force by mid afternoon. And, it was an actually a more sunnier day than Tuesday. I tried.

The bite of today is more or less of the same with most of us on the west side of the Cascades under the clouds.  But if you look closely it a little bluish; with thinner clouds, heck, we might be sunny by noon!  Since today is the perfect day, we'll go for a high of 75.

Copy and paste today for Saturday and Sunday, oh and we can't forget Friday... erase a little of the morning clouds and we have temperatures soaring into the mid 70s... oh my.

Now where did I get my title? Right.. with the few days of August left and a plain July the chances for hot days, i.e. days in the upper 80s and above are dwindling.  With that said we might have a hot shot next weekend, Aug 20, 21.  For four days a model painted one day of upper 80s and squeezed out a day in the low 90s.  Those days are quite a ways away.  So don't bet on it; considering this weekend looked more like this Friday yesterday, and today the weekend looks more like today. I feel a bit confused so I hope you get the last sentence.

A Beautiful Day in Madrona

Ahhh. Summer :)

Stuck in Anoher Kind of Lull

Can you believe it? Some coined the weather in the Northwest this summer as bipolar.  Especially since we'll have a day with high temperatures in the 80s followed by a day struggling to make it to the 60 degree F mark. I have to break the news to you folks... we are stuck in another kind of lull... a comfortable one:) In Western Washington expect brief morning clouds for some of the days and then afternoon sunshine, temperatures ranging from mid 80s in Southwest Washington, on either side of 80 in the Seattle Met Area, and a bit cooler as we head north ... for the next 16 days.  I know, I know it is premature for me to make such a bold statement, but that is how it looks.  Maybe some morning drizzle 10 days out from today.  

Tim will be out with his gang for another game of dodgeball tonight.  Where people sweat, grunt, and get dirty. The sun is setting earlier, at 8:42pm, so a sunny first half with temps around the 60s and then a cool, refreshing second half under the Denny lights. But, the cool air won't deter them because their adrenaline is flowing after being hit in the head and determination kicks in to smash their opponent and run them down to the ground.  Today's high temperature for Seattle, 75. As of now there are clouds when you look out the window; they are quickly burning off leaving us with blue skies by this afternoon.
