Good afternoon everybody! If the transition to autumn has sent your psyche to rock bottom, I bring good news that could help cure your blues. Summer will make a brief return on Sunday and stick around through early next week! We’ve got a weak frontal system to get through first, but those are good too, […]
Very Pleasant Weather Next Week!
Good afternoon my friend, hope your Wednesday is off to a great start! We’ve got a band of light rain associated with a weak cold front coming through the northwest Olympic Peninsula right now. It doesn’t look like it will extend far south enough to bring more than a few sprinkles to the Seattle metropolitan […]
One More Week Of Rain, Then Warm and Sunny!
Anybody missing the heat? If so, I’ve got some good news for you! It’s coming back! Now, before you start researching air conditioners online, know that this will not be a “heat wave” like the ones we saw to finish off our August. Rather, it will be a “warm wave,” with high temperatures in the 70s […]
Very Warm Today And Saturday!
Today will be HOT! At 11:19 am, we are already at 79 degrees at Sea-Tac airport, which is already above our average for this time of the year of 77. Currently, there is a wide range of temperatures throughout the Puget Sound region, ranging from the low 60s at places near the water like West […]
A Warming Trend!
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 […]
Possible Thundershowers Today, Then Warming Up
Good morning! The majority of us didn’t see nature’s pyrotechnics last night, as the atmosphere never really destabilized enough for the predicted thunderstorms to fully develop. However, as the graphic above shows, there was an incredible amount of lightning further east, especially into Idaho and Montana. We are starting out with overcast skies this morning […]
Sunday Seafair Nowcast
Hey ya’ll! I hope Seafair Weekend is going swimmingly for all of you. I meant to post an extended Seafair Forecast Friday night but got caught up with a bunch of surprise guests, who were wonderful. Since there’s a bit of time before the Blue Angels begin here, let’s take a look at the most […]
Great Seafair Weather!
Good morning everybody! It should be a FANTASTIC day to watch the Blue Angels today. At 7 am, the skies are as blue as can be and there is not a cloud in the sky over downtown Seattle. It doesn’t get much better than this! Yesterday, we hit 82 at Sea-Tac. Expect today to […]
Cooling Off For Seafair Weekend
Good morning! We had a weak marine push come through overnight, and as such, the coast is shrouded in low stratus clouds to kick off our Thursday. However, it is sunny throughout much of Western Washington, including the Seattle metropolitan area, as our onshore flow did not make it this far east. Today looks […]
Seasonably Sunny This Week
Good morning everybody! As the above graphic shows, we have a giant ridge of high pressure in the Eastern Pacific right now. This is a very typical August setup, and tends to give us cloudy mornings, sunny afternoons, and a healthy seabreeze on the coast. For the next few days, it looks like we’ll have […]
