Good morning everybody! Today will be a very typical summer day for us in Western Washington, with morning clouds giving way to afternoon sunshine as the sun warms up the lower atmosphere and burns off this low marine layer. We will become warmer and sunnier as the week goes on due to a strong ridge […]
Snow To Return To The Cascades
Wednesday, February 17, 2016 6:15 pm It was a bad week for the snow-lovers of the Pacific Northwest. Over the past couple days, we’ve had very moist and relatively mild flow coming into our region from the WSW. The result? Heavy rains on the Olympics and Northern Cascades, with much lighter precipitation in the Seattle […]
Windstorm Update
Monday, November 16, 2015 4:44 pm It’s looking more and more like a significant windstorm may be in the works. The models are not as bullish about this storm as they were yesterday morning, but they are still showing very strong winds with widespread power outages possible. Charge your devices tonight!

Summer Starts July 5th
Wednesday, July 4, 2012 12:06 A.M. Us meteorologists like to joke that summer starts on July 5th. Well this year, that actually looks like it will be the case. Independence Day won’t be bad at all. We’ll start off with some clouds in the morning but quickly warm up to around 70 or so. The […]
Actual Pattern Change!

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 […]
Getting warmer next week!
Sunday, September 18, 2011 8:30 P.M. Summer is back! Hi everybody! I have some good news for you sun lovers. It looks like we have a warm week on tap. Remember that powerful wave I was talking about? As expected, the situation changed, and now it is heading north of us as a strong upper […]
Midnight Update
Monday, November 22, 2010 11:50 P.M. So the snow has now largely come to an end. Don’t be surprised if you see a flurry, but I doubt you will see any additional accumulation. Generally, I’ve been hearing of about 5 inches of snow in the Seattle area. I have 5 inches at least. Very, VERY […]
