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 […]
Tuesday, July 19, 2016
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 […]

The Marine Pushes Of Summer
There’s a reason why very few people in the Pacific Northwest have air conditioning. For much of the summer, cool, marine air flows into Western Washington at night, keeping low temperatures in the 50s and preventing our residences from getting too hot. Of course, we have those periods in the summer when highs skyrocket into […]

Sunrise looking SE over Lake Washington from Seattle Sunset looking W over Clayoquot Sound from Tofino, B.C. In the Pacific Northwest, spectacular sunsets and sunrises are the norm. Some of the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen in my life have occurred while fishing off the coast of Vancouver Island, and some of the […]
A Very Stormy Saturday
Yesterday, some pretty strong storms rolled through areas of Western Washington, bringing vivid lightning, torrential downpours, and even funnel clouds to multiple locations throughout the state. With cool air aloft and high sun angles warming the air at the surface, the atmosphere quickly became very unstable, and vigorous thunderstorms quickly developed. In order to show […]
El Nino Is Dead
FINALLY! After being in El Nino conditions off-and-on since autumn 2014, we are finally solidly back into the “neutral” area, and it is looking increasingly likely that we will be in a La Nina regime for the latter half of 2016 into 2017. With the exception of Nino 4, all Nino regions have near-average […]
My Big Halibut
For the past week, I have been up with my brother and dad in Tofino, on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. I’ve been spending quality time with them and taking a break from electronics (except weather models and marine observations, of course), and it has been a great trip. We left earlier this afternoon […]
Warmest Temperatures of the Year To Arrive This Weekend
We’ve had quite a few heat waves so far this spring. This past April was the by far the warmest April on record at Sea-Tac and many other places across the Pacific Northwest. May started out hot and then cooled to more seasonable levels, but with an average temperature of 59.8 degrees, Sea-Tac was still […]
Welcome!
Hello everybody, and welcome to weathertogether.net! Thank you so much for stopping by! I had wanted to develop a unique weather website for a while, but I was always intimidated by how good other websites looked, and I had no idea how to code. Still, I thought I’d give it a shot. Hopefully you can […]
