TT-SEA

Tiny coating of slush here. @Meatyorologist called it! SEA radar is down as of 45 minutes ago so can't tell if more is coming but c-zone appeared to be falling apart when it went down.

Had to look up their current status and they are still touring! I swear they were at Snoqualmie Casino in the last year or two. This was just this past weekend... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5naOD-ygLKQ

It was dry here all day and is still dry... but radar is getting active tonight!

00Z GFS following it's 18Z run and even weaker with the weekend system. Shows temps near 70 on Saturday now. I assume the system will return on tomorrow's runs.

One of these? Someone in North Bend has one and people keep posting pics of it on FB in different parking lots around town.

Yes... its been an average April so far with a ridiculous amount of complaining and whining. Anyone who mentions enjoying this average April weather is met with disdain and scorn like they are cheering on the death of the entire ecosystem. Unpleasant mix of severe climate anxiety and know-it-all, in-your-face virtue signaling.

Interesting factoid... SEA is running colder than normal for April. With all the pearl clutching drama we are endlessly exposed to by a couple people on here you would think we were running 10 degrees above normal.

Probably. Happens all the time with snow events we are tracking as well. We finally get a model cave that we were expecting and then the other model shows something totally different.

Now that the ECMWF got on board with the weekend system... the 18Z GFS decides to wash it out before arrival.

I only engage negatively with one person here and its well-earned.

Our garden absolutely exploded during early June in 2022 when it flipped to warm and wet

ECMWF came around with the weekend system as expected.

That's strange. I would have just assumed that was a smudge on your lens.

00Z GFS, GEM, and ICON all show the system on Saturday. ECMWF will come around soon.

18Z GFS sticking to its guns with a ULL parked over the PNW next weekend. My sense is the ECMWF will cave to this scenario.

Just two more months until your trees start to bud. Getting closer!

Looks like a mid summer day at T-Mobile for the Mariners game. Better than the roof closed cold misery that will be tomorrow's game.

85 is too cold. 105 is better. 125 is ideal.

Deadly contrails appearing out here now as well. Probably spraying us all with another COVID vaccine.

Lots of restaurants in downtown Bellevue have their summer patios open now and they were packed yesterday evening.

Cottonwoods starting to take on the glossy green summer look here now. A couple weeks out from puffball mania.

Pre-frontal sunny days are classic conditions for contrails. It's science not conspiracy.

Not much different than previous runs. ECMWF does run cool so probably close to normal overall which is very nice at this time of year with plenty of sun. He was just trolling of course. I posted a strong troughing signal on the 00Z EPS and also talked about the GFS being quite wet next weekend. He is one with the anxiety issues... just projecting of course.

Indeed... will be doing that at some point this afternoon.

ECMWF and EPS definitely still drier than normal. Lots of sunny days on the ECMWF.
