Monday, May 13, 2013 12:18 P.M. I’m a huge fan of streaks, particularly of sports and weather streaks. Whether it’s Brett Favre’s streak of 321 consecutive games started or Seattle’s recent streak of 48 dry days this past summer. Speaking of that dry streak we had, I was super frustrated when I learned that 0.01 […]
Dreadfully Hot
Friday, May 10, 2013 1:42 A.M. Good morning everybody! The weather outside today is wonderful… much better than that dreadful weather we had Monday. “Dreadful?,” you might ask? Dreadful. At least for me. At some time during autumn 2012, I decided that I was no longer going to wear shorts (excepting formal occasions, like weddings […]
Snow in Plain Sight
Friday, May 3, 2013 8:24 A.M. The last couple days have been pretty darn nice around the Pacific Northwest, but if you are a fan of the weather now, just wait until the weekend. Highs are expected to top 80 Sunday and Monday here in Seattle, and it will be even hotter near the Cascades. […]

Die Another Day
Saturday, April 13, 2013 5:04 P.M. From Wednesday, April 10, 2013: “We’ll have some rain coming in Friday afternoon, but I’ll bet my life on having a strong convergence zone somewhere in the area Saturday afternoon due to a cool, moist, onshore flow splitting around the Olympics and converging somewhere along Puget Sound.

Rainfall Totals From the Last Few Storms
Monday, April 8, 2013 1:02 P.M. April is known for “showers and sunbreaks,” which might as well become a trademarked phrase around here since it is probably the most commonly mentioned phrase in Seattle, meteorological or otherwise. Imagine how rich the original creator of that phrase would be if news stations and the National Weather […]
