MONTHLY WEATHER RECAPS...
JANUARY...A MILD AND WET BEGINNING TO THE YEAR AS A WARM FRONT
RAIN AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES. THE RAINIEST PERIOD OF THE MONTH
WAS THE 2ND THROUGH THE 5TH WITH ALMOST 2.5 INCHES FALLING ACROSS
THOSE DAYS. HIGH PRESSURE PROVIDED DRY AND COOL CONDITIONS THEREAFTER
AND PERSISTED THROUGH THE END OF THE MONTH WITH ONLY TWO DAYS
RECIEVING HALF AN INCH OR GREATER OF RAINFALL ON THE 10TH AND THE
31ST. 12 MORNINGS RECORDED LOW TEMPERATURES AT OR BELOW THE FREEZING
MARK. THE MONTH ENDED WITH A RAINFALL DEFICIT OF OVER 6 INCHES
BELOW NORMAL, LEADING TO A TOP 10 DRIEST JANUARY FOR ASTORIA.
FEBRUARY...TROUGHING COVERED THE REGION FOR MOST OF THE FIRST HALF
OF THE MONTH. THIS PRODUCED RAINY CONDITIONS AND BELOW AVERAGE
TEMPERATURES. CONDITIONS SHIFTED FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE MONTH,
WITH SEVERAL STRONG SYSTEMS BRINING SOUTHERLY WINDS AND HEAVIER RAIN
THE LAST WEEK OF THE MONTH. THESE SYSTEMS ALSO BROUGHT VERY STRONG
WIND GUSTS WITH THE AIRPORT RECORDING A PEAK GUST OF 71 MPH ON THE
24TH AS A STRONG SURFACE LOW MOVED OVER VANCOUVER ISLAND.
MARCH...A RATHER TYPICAL MARCH WITH DRY PERIODS AND SEVERAL SYSTEMS
BRINGING RAIN. THE MONTH WAS MILD OVERALL WITH THE AVERAGE
TEMPERATURE ENDING AT 3 DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE. ASTORIA REACHED 70
DEGREES FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE 25TH WHICH WAS ALSO THE DAILY HIGH
RECORD. A MARGINAL RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WAS ISSUED FOR THE
26TH BUT STORMS DID NOT MATERIALIZE AS EXPECTED.
APRIL...THE MONTH STARTED OUT IN A WET PATTERN AS SEVERAL FRONTS
BROUGHT RAIN TO THE AREA. THE MAJORITY OF THE MONTHS RAINFALL FELL
BETWEEN THE 6TH AND THE 8TH. FROM THERE, A DRY PERIOD ENSUED AS AN
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE SET UP ACROSS THE EASTERN PACIFIC. THE MONTH ENDED
WITH A RAINFALL DEFICIT OF OVER 2.5 INCHES FOR THE MONTH.
MAY...HIGH PRESSURE DOMINATED THE BEGINNING OF THE MONTH, SUPPORTING
MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS AND MILD TEMPERATURES. THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH
SAW A PATTERN CHANGE WITH SEVERAL SYSTEMS BRINGING LIGHT RAIN AND
COOLER TEMPERATURES. OVERALL, THE MONTH ENDED WITH BELOW AVERAGE
TEMPERATURES AND PRECIPITATION TOTALS.
JUNE...A RELATIVELY BENIGN MONTH WITH MOSTLY SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES
AND LITTLE PRECIPITATION. THE ONLY NOTABLE RAINFALL FELL ON THE 21ST
AS A COLD FRONT BROUGHT WIDESPREAD RAIN TO THE AREA. ASTORIA ONLY
RECEIVED AROUND HALF OF THE NORMAL JUNE PRECIPITATION.
JULY...NO MAJOR SYSTEMS IMPACTED THE REGION DURING THE MONTH.
TEMPERATURES ENDED RIGHT AT AVERAGE FOR THE MONTH. WELL BELOW
AVERAGE PRECIPITATION WITH THE AIRPORT ONLY RECORDING 0.02 FOR THE
ENTIRE MONTH.
AUGUST...SEASONABLE CONDITIONS TO BEGIN THE MONTH BEFORE A HIGH
BUILDING OVER THE EASTERN PACIFIC SHIFTED OVER THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST. THIS FINALLY BROUGHT THE FIRST DAYS WITH HIGHS REACHING
THE 80 DEGREE MARK ON THE 10TH AND 11TH. A STRONG UPPER TROUGH
DROPPED OUT OF THE GULF OF ALASKA BRINGING COOLER TEMPERATURES FOR
SEVERAL DAYS AND A FRONT THAT PRODUCED DAILY RECORD RAINFALL OF 1.46
INCHES ON THE 15TH. CONDITIONS REMAINED DRY THROUGH THE END OF THE
MONTH ALONG WITH ANOTHER WARM UP BACK INTO THE LOW 80S. TEMPERATURE
AND PRECIPITATION AVERAGES FOR THE MONTH ENDED ABOVE AVERAGE.
SEPTEMBER...SEASONABLE CONDITIONS THROUGH THE FIRST WEEK OR SO OF
THE MONTH. A SERIES OF FRONTS SUPPORTED RAIN SHOWERS ON THE 13TH AND
14TH BEFORE A HIGHLY AMPLIFIED TROUGH DEVELOPED OVER THE REGION.
THIS SUPPORTED A DRASTIC WARM UP ON THE 16TH WITH THE AIRPORT IN
ASTORIA REACHING ITS HIGHEST TEMPERATURE OF THE YEAR AT 89 WHICH ALSO
BROKE THE DAILY RECORD BY 4 DEGREES. CONDITIONS WENT BACK TO NEAR
NORMAL BEFORE ENDING ON A WET NOTE AS A STRONG LOW OVER THE GULF OF
ALASKA SENT A SERIES OF COLD FRONTS THROUGH THE REGION.
OCTOBER...A WEAK FRONTAL SYSTEM BROUGHT RAIN TO BEGIN THE MONTH,
FOLLOWED BY A PERIOD OF WARM AND DRY WEATHER. THE LAST DAY TO REACH
70 DEGREES WAS THE 7TH OF THE MONTH. ALTERNATING PERIOD STRETCHES OF
WET AND DRY WEATHER CONTINUED THROUGH THE 23RD. THE MOST SUBSTANTIAL
SYSTEM OF THE MONTH BROUGHT HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG WINDS FROM THE
24TH THROUGH THE 26TH. OVER 3.5 INCHES OF RAIN FELL DURING THE
STRETCH AND WINDS GUSTED OVER 50 MPH AS A STRONG SURFACE LOW SEND
SEVERAL COLD FRONTS THROUGH THE AREA.
NOVEMBER...A WET START TO NOVEMBER AS A SERIES OF FRONTAL SYSTEMS
MOVED THROUGH THE AREA WITH BREEZY SOUTH WINDS. MOSTLY DRY WEATHER
THE 8TH THROUGH 12TH AS HIGH PRESSURE RETURNED OVER THE REGION.THEN,
MORE SEASONABLE COOL AND WET WEATHER OCCURRED AS AN ACTIVE AND
PROGRESSIVE PATTERN CONTINUED THROUGH MUCH OF THE REMAINDER OF THE
MONTH. THE MONTH ENDED ALMOST 4 INCHES BELOW NORMAL PRECIPITATION AND
OVER 2.5 DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE-WISE.
DECEMBER...A SERIES OF FRONTS BROUGHT WET WEATHER THROUGH THE 7TH.
THE UPPER LEVEL PATTERN SET UP FOR A STRONG ATMOSPHERIC RIVER TO
IMPACT THE REGION ON THE 8TH AND 9TH. THE DAILY RECORD RAINFALL WAS
SET ON THE 8TH WHEN 4.49 INCHES OF RAIN FELL IN 24 HOURS. THIS BROKE
THE PREVIOUS RECORD OF 3.01 INCHES THAT FELL IN 2015 AS WELL AS THE
RECORD 24 HOUR MONTHLY RAINFALL OF 4.33 INCHES THAT FELL ON DECEMBER
9TH IN 1933. THE AREA REMAINED IN THE WARM SECTOR AS THE SYSTEM
LIFTED NORTH, WITH LOWS IN THE MID 50S AND HIGHS IN THE UPPER 50S ON
THE 9TH THROUGH THE 12TH. STRONG WINDS PERSISTED FROM THE 15TH
THROUGH THE 17TH WITH GUSTS OVER 50 MPH EACH DAY. ANOTHER
ATMOSPHERIC RIVER IMPACTED THE REGION BUT THE MAIN AREA OF MOISTURE
WAS SOUTH OF THE AREA. RAINFALL WAS STILL HEAVY DURING THE 16TH TO
18TH TIMEFRAME. THE PATTERN REMAINED UNSETTLED THROUGH THE CHRISTMAS
HOLIDAY. SEVERAL MORNINGS BETWEEN CHRISTMAS AND THE NEW YEAR SAW
TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING. THE AVERAGE TEMPERATURE FOR THE MONTH
WAS THE 10TH WARMEST ON RECORD.
