Friday, December 11, 2015 4:38 pm Hello everybody! There’s been quite a bit of interesting weather lately in Seattle, and I haven’t been posting much. However, it is not because I have suddenly lost my interest for meteorology. That would be impossible. It is because I’ve been getting preparing, packing, traveling, and finally settling in […]
Relief in Sight For Firefighters
Tuesday, July 22, 2014 12:11 a.m. Apparently, there’s been a pretty massive complex of wildfires in Eastern Washington over the past week I’ve been at camp. I’m finishing another day off and need to be back in the kitchen at 7 a.m., but I have enough time to write a brief blog. Here are all […]
The Graceful Apocalypse: Part 1 – Basic Thunderstorm Knowledge
Tuesday, August 13, 2013 4:25 P.M. Last Friday night will rank up, at least in my mind, with some of the most memorable weather events in Seattle’s history. That means I’ll put it right up there with the Inaugural Day Storm, the Hanukkah Eve Storm (and associated torrential downpour), the December 2008 snow events, the 2007 Great Coastal Gale… […]
Wildfire Threat This Weekend
Friday, August 9, 2013 2:09 A.M. (Yikes!) I was absent the past week for a fishing trip in Canada and knew that Washington was expected to receive some rain. At the time I left, forecasts were calling for over an inch of rain in areas of Western Washington and perhaps up to FIVE INCHES in parts of the […]

An Electrical Storm
Wednesday, July 17, 2013 12:26 P.M. It’s all a matter of perspective. I had a long, meaningful conversation with a girl last night. It wasn’t under starlight, it was under partly cloudy skies. But hey, those were just as cool. She asked me why I wished for bad weather. I was confused; I never wish […]

Micronesia: Day 7
Saturday June 29, 20123:07 P.M. So I have this big assignment that I got to write up tonight, but this is good because I can just change a few words and stuff and use it for my blog as well. Or, I could write it in my blog, publish my blog, and then change a […]
Yesterday’s Weather, Turning Colder
Saturday, November 11, 2011 1:59 P.M. Before I elaborate on what I think the weather will be like, I’d like to point out the strength of the front we saw yesterday. Yesterday’s front wasn’t big and didn’t produce a whole bunch of rain, but it was strong and consolidated, and it really packed quite a […]
“Unsettled” Weather
Wednesday, October 5, 2011 12:12 P.M. I was looking through the UW 12z extended WRF-GFS, and in one of the model frames, I saw an “unsettled” pattern. Meteorologists always talk about unsettled weather. But what does unsettled weather really mean? “Unsettled” weather does NOT refer to nice weather. Most of you knew that, but I […]
Memorable Weather Experiences
I’m copying everything down from the facebook blog to this, just to have everything on this since I am now officially using it. Here is a quick discussion topic I did back like 2 years ago. Charlie Phillips Windstorm? Flood? Snow-day? If something was memorable, share it with us! Tom Longabaugh: my dad went out […]
