Cue the Mark vacation jokes in 3…2…1…
I’ll be off on vacation for a wedding and a little trip up to B.C. mountain biking, plus painting my house through next week. I’ll miss 6 work days and be back on Sunday the 24th. Likely no posts during that time.
It’s the best & warmest weather of the year in the Pacific Northwest (mid-July to mid-August) so get outside and enjoy it!

Commenting on this blog is open to anyone with an interest in or fascination with weather. Here at FOX-12 we're happy to provide you a space to "geek out" with fellow Pacific Northwesterners. But please don't abuse the privilege.
1. POSTING LINKS/VIDEO:
It's okay to insert video or pictures, as long as the link points to something appropriate for the general public. No politics, obscenity, etc...
2. CHOOSE A NAME ONCE:
Choose a name or identification once and stick with it. The very first time you comment it is held for moderation. After it's approved, that EXACT name will be allowed to comment at any time. Note that this applies to your IP address too. So using the same name but on Grandma's computer will require a one-time hold as well. This keeps the spam out.

This is pretty obvious, but avoid being rude or taunting others too.

This will get you kicked off quickly. Please report this to me at mark.nelsen@kptv.com if it happens here.

What a great day to be outside! Wall-to-wall sunshine, warm to HOT temperatures, just a little bit of a breeze to take the edge off the heat — a perfect July day, FINALLY!! I’ve been missing this all summer long, it’s good to have it back. 🙂
This week looks to be spectacular, but enjoy it while it lasts. I have a feeling we’ve only got about 3, maybe 4 more weeks left before the door slams shut on Summer. By August week 3, or perhaps week 4 I think Fall will come rushing in, and then it’s all over with…
Oh, and don’t bother telling me I’m wrong, Dan. You can’t predict the future any better than I can, so save it. You post your “thoughts,” so these are mine. The thing is, when I “thought” we were in for a cooler/wetter Summer many months ago, while you “thought” this Summer was going to be blazing hot again, well… we all know what really happened.
And just so Alter-alter Dan-Dan doesn’t get all butthurt because I’m directly addressing Dan^Prime — no one’s making fun, I’m just expressing my “thoughts,” too. Dan-Dan alter man needs to chill TF out, m’kay? No double standards allowed!!
I think we’re done here as far as rainfall for the month of July is concerned. I haven’t seen a drop since the 17th and nothing is forecasted for my area through this week. That makes my total 1.83 inches- a bit above average but nothing to complain about. I think this July reminds me the most of July 2005. If the rest of the summer goes the same way as that one, we’re in for a couple of dry, sunny months to come.
