⚠️Tuesday midday update:

💨 Quite gusty across the Plateau overnight, and will ramp back up thru the afternoon - peak gusts near 40mph from the SW.

❄️ Temps dip enough overnight that some light snow is possible around the Plateau early AM…another update on this tonight!

01/09/2024

Quick storm update before the storm starts…

Strong winds ramp up tonight - the US National Weather Service Seattle Washington issued a Wind Advisory from 10pm thru 10pm tomorrow, calling for 25-35mph winds and gusts up to 50, coming from the south and southwest. Rain continues too.

Go Dawgs!!

Alright folks, busy weather week coming…time to break out a long post!

TL;DR:
- Stay aware, be prepared: many details are still unclear
- Mon nite/Tuesday: windy and wet
- Thursday thru the weekend: cold temps (potentially *very*), and chances for snow

Tomorrow: Drippy day, before the main storm rolls in late evening. Heavier rain overnight, adding up to around an inch total by Tuesday AM. A few snowflakes may mix in.

Windy overnight too: the brunt of it stays north, but gusts near 40mph around the Plateau are possible.

The Passes are going to be an absolute *mess* the next few days - the US National Weather Service Seattle Washington has issued a Winter Storm Warning from tomorrow morning thru Tuesday morning, and a *Blizzard Warning* for Tuesday morning thru Wednesday morning - first in 11 years!

Wednesday brings a brief respite for the lowlands, as we shift gears.

Details are still murky, as we’re still several days away…but broad brushstrokes: snow possible Thursday, as cold air moves south from BC. It’s possible we don’t make it above freezing for a few days.

Like always, details are subject to change! Forecasting snow in the PNW is incredibly difficult, as so many things have to go *just right*. It’s looking fairly likely that things will go at least “right enough”, but again, we have several days to see how things turn out.

There will be plenty of hype and “extreme-looking” numbers on weather apps the next few days - at this point, just stay aware, be prepared, and don’t freak! We got this 👏

01/05/2024

Our boring, mild winter is about to change!

A fairly wet, breezy storm rolls in Friday PM / Saturday AM - rain in the lowlands, but much needed snow in the mountains! Showers Sat thru Sun.

Temps cool off next week…there *are* chances for snow, but still too early for details.

Don’t quite know what the weather apps are picking up on…it’s too warm for flurries - 45° at my house. At least the foot...

Don’t quite know what the weather apps are picking up on…it’s too warm for flurries - 45° at my house.

At least the foothills got some though!

12/22/2023

One extra second of daylight today! Sure doesn’t feel it with how dark it is…

Rain tapering off this afternoon, temps around freezing tonight - watch out for ice!

Dry and chilly tomorrow, showery Sunday PM. Christmas morning starts dry, then wet (not white!) in the evening.

12/09/2023

Hope you enjoyed the brief dry break!

Rain returns, reaching the Plateau in the next couple hours…plan on rain the rest of the day, turning to showers tomorrow. Could be gusty at times too.

Possible for snow to mix in heavier bands - shouldn’t stick, just pretty to see!

12/06/2023

It’s wet out there. (Understatement of the year!) It was also warm, muggy, and dark!

Rain continues, aside from a few brief lulls…this atmospheric river won’t move out of the area til tomorrow. My rain gauge is over 2” since midnight - SeaTac broke the daily record too!

12/04/2023

Still on track for a very wet couple days - potentially up to 3 inches by Wednesday.

This will cause urban flooding - and with temps in the upper 50s, rapid snowmelt will lead to significant river flooding as well. Oh, and more wind too, gusting up to the 30-40mph range.

12/03/2023

The relative calm between the storms…it’s going to get *wet* the next several days.

Another breezy day tomorrow, with an atmospheric river bringing warmer temps and a decent shot of rain. A stronger one takes aim Monday & Tuesday, with 2-3 inches of rain possible by Wednesday.

12/02/2023

Stormy night - strong wind and rain overnight💨

The had issued a Wind Advisory from 11pm til 6am tomorrow, calling for winds from the south at 30-40mph, gusting to 50. Heavy rain along with it too.

Showers tomorrow afternoon / night, before the next storm Sunday.

11/30/2023

Calm before the storms - basically one each day for the next week!

A few showers could pop up overnight into Thursday morning…might even see a few snowflakes, but no accumulation! Rain picks up in the afternoon, but amounts look fairly light - Friday’s storm will be stronger.

11/28/2023

Couple more days of cold and dry, before we get a few storms rolling in late week!

We’ll keep below-freezing low temps, dense fog, and black ice thru Wednesday. Thursday begins the storm train with some showers, before a stronger system Friday/Saturday, and more into next week!

11/25/2023

Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving!

This sunny/cold stretch looks to continue for several days - foggy mornings with lows below freezing, sunny afternoons with highs mid/upper 40s. Good chance to put up decorations and clean gutters!

Next chance for precip late next week.

11/20/2023

Wait, it’s Thanksgiving week already?!

Dry Monday thru Tuesday morning, before another system brings rain Tuesday evening thru Wednesday morning. Then drying out and turning sunny through the weekend - but chilly, with highs only mid- to upper-40s, and lows around freezing.

11/19/2023

We interrupt this dry streak for a wet night 🌧️

Rain picks up this evening through the overnight hours, turning to showers throughout the day tomorrow. Could be breezy at times too…but dry again Monday!

Holiday week forecast coming tomorrow!

11/13/2023

After an active few days, this week brings a bit of a break!

Rain overnight tonight, drying out during the day Monday. Mainly sunny and dry thru the end of the week! A slight chance of light showers Tuesday night. Chilly temps though - upper 40s for highs, lows in the mid 30s.

11/11/2023

⚠️ Windy night tonight! 💨

The has a Wind Advisory in effect from 7pm thru 7am tomorrow, calling for winds from the south at 20-30mph, with gusts up to 50 mph.

It’ll pick up into the evening, but I’m thinking the peak around the Plateau will be in the 40s overnight.

Power outages are definitely possible, so make sure your devices are charged up before going to bed tonight!

11/06/2023

Drippy start to the week - but is that a surprise this time of year?

Wet day Monday, expecting up to an inch, and a slight chance of a thunderstorm in the afternoon. Showers continue thru the day Tuesday, a brief break in the action Wednesday, then more systems to end the week.

🌧️⚠️ Heavy Rain Band Incoming!!This band of very heavy rain is almost on top of the Plateau - it’ll cause temporary urba...

🌧️⚠️ Heavy Rain Band Incoming!!

This band of very heavy rain is almost on top of the Plateau - it’ll cause temporary urban flooding, even if your storm drains are clear!

11/04/2023

Rainy, windy weekend on tap…our brief break between storms is over. Breezy winds starting to pick up, with a pretty wet overnight too. Rain turns to showers tomorrow, but gusty winds remain through the day - power outages are possible. More wet weather Sunday and into next week!

10/30/2023

A couple more cold nights to get through - but the beautiful sunny days sure make them worth it!

Another clear and dry day Monday. Clouds come back on Tuesday for trick-or-treating. Rain and breezy winds (and above-freezing nights!) return Wednesday thru the rest of the week.

10/28/2023

Already below freezing in my backyard 🥶 We’re several degrees cooler than this time last night, meaning mid 20s are possible overnight around the Plateau, and the greater Eastside - the has issued a Freeze Warning from midnight to 9am to highlight this. Stay warm!

10/27/2023

🥶 Below-freezing temps coming the next few nights 🥶

Last night, my backyard dropped to 33° - it’s already 35° at 9pm. Low temps each night through Monday will be below freezing - watch out for frost on the roads!

Next few days will be sunny but cool, highs in the low 50s.

10/23/2023

Wet start to the week, then our first cold-snap of the year 🥶

Showers Monday, before a rainy day Tuesday, drying out Wednesday. Then comes the cold…late-week high temps may not make it out of the 40s, with lows in the mid-30s - I’d bet we see our first freeze by the weekend!

10/16/2023

🌧️Active weather day for Monday⛈️

Steady rain moves in during the morning commute thru midday, with breezy winds. Showers through the afternoon and evening - but there is a chance for some thunder and heavy rain with them.

Showers possible Tuesday, before drying out Wednesday!

10/13/2023

Enjoy the dry afternoon - we'll peak right around 70Âş too! Stays a tad breezy as the next system moves in with rain overnight tonight. Showers during the day tomorrow and Sunday, with more rain throughout the day Monday, with temps staying fairly mild in the low- to mid-60s.

The annular eclipse begins around 8:07am tomorrow morning, peaks at 9:20am, and ends at 10:40am. The clouds *might* cooperate, giving us a peek at it during the 2.5 hour window - but please don't look directly at the sun, even with sunglasses! Eclipse glasses are the best. Enjoy!

10/06/2023

☀️Nice, warm weekend on tap! 😎

After this fog burns off, we should make it into the 70s under sunny skies. Tomorrow might even touch 80°! Sunday cools off back into the 70s, with clouds reappearing into the evening.

Next week quickly turns wet, so enjoy the dry while it lasts!
