Morning! What a beautiful start to our Thursday here in Seattle! Winds are light, visibility is great, the temperature is pleasantly pleasant, and I don’t see a cloud in the sky. We will have some clouds filter in as the day goes on due to another weak low pressure system approaching the area, but any […]
A Nicer Day Today!
Wednesday, July 20, 2016 11:12 am Gooooood morning! A thin layer of stratocumulus clouds was covering much of Western Washing early this morning, but it was much thinner than the layers we have seen over the past couple days. As a result, many of the clouds have already burnt off, and there are crystal-clear bluebird […]

Morning! We’ve got some patchy low clouds to start off the day today, but this marine layer looks significantly thinner than the ones we were seeing just a week ago. Expect highs today to reach the mid 60s on the coast and Northern Interior to the low 70s along the I-5 corridor, although I can’t […]
Unseasonably Cool
The past two years have been quite warm for the Pacific Northwest. 26 of the past 28 months have had above-normal temperatures, including every month this year. Along the way, all-time average temperature records were not only broken, they were smashed, with March 2015, April 2016, June 2015, and October 2014 obliterating previous average monthly […]
A Transition To More Seasonable Weather
We’ve been so hot recently, many of us (including myself) have forgotten that it is only April. Although mountain snow at Snoqualmie Pass becomes increasingly hard to come by after mid-April, it is still relatively common, and we can even have snow there into May. Of course, when you get to 89 degrees in Seattle […]
Beautiful Week Ahead!
I had meant to get to this earlier, but then a funnel cloud occurred over Mill Creek and I had to write about that. Believe it or not, there are people who prefer stormy days with funnel clouds to beautiful, clear, warm sunny days, and I belong to that unique group. However, I’m a big […]

The Death Ridge!
Monday, February 8, 2016 4:59 p.m. We’ve seen our fair share of suffixes and nicknames for atmospheric and oceanic phenomena of all types these past two years. We had “The Blob,” a simple but very accurate designation given to a massive pool of warm water in the Northeast Pacific. We’re in the midst of the […]
Summer’s Last Stand?
Thursday, September 4, 2014 4:14 pm Custer’s Last Stand – Mort Kunstler I had to do some refreshing on my American history to remember what Custer’s Last Stand was. I did some research, and it turns out that this Custer guy really hated Indians, so he decided to fight some (specifically the Lakota, Northern Cheyenne, […]
Here Comes The Rain
Tuesday, August 26, 2014 7:30 p.m. Here comes the sun… not. Although you wouldn’t know it, we are actually well above average for rainfall this month (and, come to think of it last month was above average in the rainfall department as well). This is due to Sea-Tac accumulating 0.50 inches of rain on the […]
Another Wet Week Ahead
Sunday, March 2, 2014 5:55 p.m. And the hits just keep on coming. After our not-so-close brush with snow (it’s easy to get excited looking at models beforehand, but when push comes to shove, this is Seattle, and we live right next to Puget Sound and the Pacific Ocean and are protected from cold air […]
