December 30, 2008 This is a very difficult forecast to make. First of all, tonight and tomorrow, it will be rainy and windy. A winter storm warning is in effect for the mountains for 1-2 feet of snow. A typical winter storm… that’s pretty much it.The forecast for Thursday is SO complex and SO complicated. […]
May 2008
Wow! It has been a while since I wrote a forecast for this! I don’t even have a prediction for today! Well, remember how I said it could get really warm in the long range like a week ago? That time is finally here. A warm ridge of high pressure combined with a “thermal low” […]

September 30, 2008Predicted: 75 51Actual: 71 52 It’s late so not much of a post today, but I do want to mention that tomorrow may be your last 70 + day till spring and that the storm slated for Friday-Saturday is looking nice and juicy. It is, after all, forming out of the remnants of […]
April 2008
This April will end up being the 10th coldest April ever recorded in Seattle, but in Bellingham, this will be their 5th coldest. Why have we been so cold?

Floods in the Pacific Northwest
Wednesday, October 6, 2010 Many people would be surprised to find out that the Pacific Northwest gets some of the biggest floods in the world. The reason why it is not common knowledge is because the places that flood are usually sparsely populated (like Snoqualmie or Concrete) or have no people at all (like many […]

The maps above show the expected 24 hour rainfall from 5 P.M. Friday to 5 P.M. Saturday (top) and that time Saturday […]

I’m not sure how many of you have heard, but this winter has the possibility of being an extremely snowy one, both for the lowlands and the mountains, but especially for the mountains. Why? Because we have an EXTRAORDINARILY intense La Nina event brewing near the equator. […]
Guess who’s back, back again

The Next Storm to Watch
Wednesday, September 22, 2010 4:34 P.M. As many of you have noticed, the U.S. hasn’t been hit by a hurricane this year. We’ve come mighty close – one recurved off of the outer banks and one landed just south of Brownsville, but we have had no U.S. landfalls, which is phenomenal because this has been […]
