Anybody missing the heat? If so, I’ve got some good news for you! It’s coming back! Now, before you start researching air conditioners online, know that this will not be a “heat wave” like the ones we saw to finish off our August. Rather, it will be a “warm wave,” with high temperatures in the 70s […]
Very Warm Today And Saturday!
Today will be HOT! At 11:19 am, we are already at 79 degrees at Sea-Tac airport, which is already above our average for this time of the year of 77. Currently, there is a wide range of temperatures throughout the Puget Sound region, ranging from the low 60s at places near the water like West […]

A Warming Trend!
Good morning everybody! Today will be a very typical summer day for us in Western Washington, with morning clouds giving way to afternoon sunshine as the sun warms up the lower atmosphere and burns off this low marine layer. We will become warmer and sunnier as the week goes on due to a strong ridge […]
Possible Thundershowers Today, Then Warming Up
Good morning! The majority of us didn’t see nature’s pyrotechnics last night, as the atmosphere never really destabilized enough for the predicted thunderstorms to fully develop. However, as the graphic above shows, there was an incredible amount of lightning further east, especially into Idaho and Montana. We are starting out with overcast skies this morning […]
Sunday Seafair Nowcast
Hey ya’ll! I hope Seafair Weekend is going swimmingly for all of you. I meant to post an extended Seafair Forecast Friday night but got caught up with a bunch of surprise guests, who were wonderful. Since there’s a bit of time before the Blue Angels begin here, let’s take a look at the most […]

Cooling Off For Seafair Weekend
Good morning! We had a weak marine push come through overnight, and as such, the coast is shrouded in low stratus clouds to kick off our Thursday. However, it is sunny throughout much of Western Washington, including the Seattle metropolitan area, as our onshore flow did not make it this far east. Today looks […]

Seasonably Sunny This Week
Good morning everybody! As the above graphic shows, we have a giant ridge of high pressure in the Eastern Pacific right now. This is a very typical August setup, and tends to give us cloudy mornings, sunny afternoons, and a healthy seabreeze on the coast. For the next few days, it looks like we’ll have […]
Warming Up This Week
Good afternoon everybody! My apologies for being slow with the updates recently; I caught a dreadful “Warm” (cold+fever) over the weekend and I’ve been doing more sleeping than anything else as a result. But while the worst of the Warm has already passed for me, the rest of the week should be significantly warmer […]
Cooler Today
Good afternoon everybody! At 89 degrees, yesterday was our hottest day of the month at Sea-Tac. It sure felt hot! Still, it’s incredible to think that we had 10 90+ degree days in July 2015 and none in 2016. We only average two days per year of 90+ degree weather at Sea-Tac, so not […]
