Today was cloudier than expected due to moisture streaming over the top of our ridge of high pressure. It was still dry though. A semi-zonal flow will keep things moist at times for the week ahead with some sunny periods in between. Forecast: Monday: 56 45 showers Tuesday: 56 43 partly cloudy Wednesday: 54 41 […]

September 30, 2008Predicted: 75 51Actual: 71 52 It’s late so not much of a post today, but I do want to mention that tomorrow may be your last 70 + day till spring and that the storm slated for Friday-Saturday is looking nice and juicy. It is, after all, forming out of the remnants of […]
May 2008
Wow! It has been a while since I wrote a forecast for this! I don’t even have a prediction for today! Well, remember how I said it could get really warm in the long range like a week ago? That time is finally here. A warm ridge of high pressure combined with a “thermal low” […]
April 2008
This April will end up being the 10th coldest April ever recorded in Seattle, but in Bellingham, this will be their 5th coldest. Why have we been so cold? The answer is that instead of getting customary high pressure that settles in off the coast and allows sunshine to warm things up along with warmer […]
Guess who’s back, back again
Thursday, September 23, 2010 8:29 P.M. Yup, you guessed it, the rain is BACK in the forecast. We had different scenarios being forecasted by two different models. The American GFS model was forecasting dry and warm, with rain going right to the north of us, while the European ECMWF was forecasting rain. Naturally, we believed […]
I’m back!
Wednesday, June 23, 2010 12:38 P.M. Hey everybody! After a long break from this website due to an extremely hectic schedule, school is officially out, and I have no reason at all to not be writing these forecasts. We have a lot to talk about. The last day we got to 75 degrees was September […]
お！ そうですね！ (O! Soodesune!)
Friday, March 5, 2010 11:16 P.M. The expression above is one in Japanese that expresses surprisement or amazement. It’s basically the translation of “wow!” Why do I say “wow?” Well, take a look at one of the forecasted storms for later next week, shown at the top. That frame shows the estimated three hour precipitation […]
(no title) Wednesday March 3
Wednesday, March 3, 2010 9:50 P.M. Hey everybody! So I have some absolutely fantastic news for skiers and snowboarders! For the first time in a really, REALLY long time, it looks as though we could get into a snowier pattern for the Cascades. Why are we going to see snow later on there as opposed […]
Return to a Rainier Pattern
Monday, February 22, 20109:10 P.M. It’s completely my fault that I haven’t made an update lately. The weather has just been too gosh darn boring. I believe I mentioned in an earlier post that I hate El Nino winters. Well I do have some good news for those who are with me on that. El […]
Possible End to Split Flow Next Week?
Wednesday, January 6, 2010 3:19 P.M. Hello everybody. The models today have been showing some interesting stuff in the long run. And although the job of meteorologists is exactly to NOT do what I am doing now – hyping up predictions in the computer models – I’m going to do it anyway because it’s fun […]
