Die Another Day
Saturday, April 13, 2013 5:04 P.M. From Wednesday, April 10, 2013: “We’ll have some rain coming in Friday afternoon, but I’ll bet my life on having a strong convergence zone somewhere in the area Saturday afternoon due to a cool, moist, onshore flow splitting around the Olympics and converging somewhere along Puget Sound. If I’m still […]
Small Zone, Intense Convergence
Wednesday, April 10, 2013 10:30 P.M. I don’t own an umbrella. I don’t own rain boots.The only thing that I need to protect me from the elements is my skin. It’s worked out pretty well so far. But today, when I walked out of a physics lab, I saw looked out the window and saw […]
Bye Bye Dry Streak
Saturday, September 8, 2012 9:07 P.M. As I write this blog, I’m listening to Miles Davis’ and John Coltrane’s famous rendition of “Bye Bye Blackbird.” It’s a wonderful song, but as I listen to Miles’ soulful tone, I can’t help but feel a bittersweet sentiment in my soul. Because for me, the “Blackbird” is not […]

What a Convergence Zone!
Monday, November 28, 2011 4:22 P.M. 05:31 pm PST Sun 27 Nov 2011 Sorry for the lack of posts over the Thanksgiving weekend, I was at home and the internet there is dreadfully slow… so slow that it is impractical to use. And forget about using blogger… Last night, we saw an incredibly well-defined convergence […]
The Convergence Zone that Keeps on Giving
Monday, November 14, 2011 6:12 P.M. Weather Radar from the NWS at 9:06 A.M.

This convergence zone brought tons of snow to the central slopes of the Cascades, […]
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 […]
Snow Still Be Comin’
Wednesday February 23, 2011 11:15 A.M. Hey everybody! Just a quick morning update. It still looks like some places are gonna see six inches of snow, except the band has shifted a little northward into Snohomish county. Seattle still looks to receive at least three inches or so. We won’t really know until later this […]
