Tuesday, September 27, 2011 12:29 P.M. Not much to talk about today… there is an unstable air mass over the area, although most of the activity is over Vancouver Island. There may be an isolated thunderstorm over northern Washington. The atmosphere will stabilize over the next couple days, and Thursday in particular will be a […]
Storm Today, and then Seasonable Weather
September 26, 2011 1:53 P.M. Just a quick note today… the storm we had today had remnants of tropical moisture, which is why it has been so wet! In fact, some places in the Olympics have had over 3 inches already, and they will continue to pick up more. Looking into the future, it looks […]
Morning Update
Saturday, September 24, 2011 9:47 A.M. This will be quick… I have people to meet and places to go! UW game at 12:30 by the way, go Huskies! Anyway, today will be warm and humid* as we have that warm southerly flow. We could see those thunderstorms in the Cascades, although it looks like we […]
Weekend and Next Week
Friday, September 23, 2011 7:16 P.M. Hi everybody. As expected, the forecast for Monday has changed… again. I’m going to refrain from posting too much detail about it as it will probably change again. The models usually have a pretty hard time during the fall! Meanwhile, we had a nice warm day today. I said […]
Monday Storm
Friday, September 23, 2011 12:10 A.M. Hi everybody, I just moved into my dorm today.

Whereas the models before showed a large front sitting over the area and giving us heavy rain, the […]

Updated Forecast, Heavy Rain on Monday?
Tuesday, September 21, 2011 1:08 P.M. I’m writing this from the Seattle Public Library since I am not at home right now. I’m actually waiting for ID from the Department of Licensing downtown, which will take a while. Anyway, the models have not changed their thinking much today. That big storm from that powerful wave […]
Mostly Dry This Week, Wet Next Week, and Watermelons
Tuesday, September 20, 2011 6:57 P.M. Painting or time-lapse photo? Autumn officially begins 2:05 A.M. PDT Friday, September 23, but we’ll still have some nice weather for the next week or so. Looking at the models and National Weather Service discussions today, it seems as though we won’t be quite as sunny as we previously […]
Green Flash
September 19, 2011 3:39 P.M. “It was the best green flash I’ve ever seen” – Mila Zinkova, Santa Cruz, CA, January 29, 2006 I’ve written two entries on interesting phenomena that I’ve seen this summer. I have seen Kelvin-Helmholtz waves and a massive superior mirage, and you can see my posts on those. This year, […]
