It's pretty shitty out there today.

Nothing before February is winter!

breezy here too but not super windy yet

When is the wind supposed to hit? I gotta take the edmonds ferry around 5:30 pm

Extremely windy out there. Gusts 35-40. Feels chilly too with a temp of 58 and DPs in the 20s.

I did a Jesse react, since he has you blocked.

Damp and overcast, picked up 0.01" of light drizzle this morning.

Looks like a dangerous marine blast incoming for tomorrow! Stock up now!!

The gusty winds died off here but we kept enough that it only dropped to 45. Already up to 54 this morning.

00z EPS looked pretty good overall. Would be nice if it would trend a little wetter.

DEEP MARINE LAYER this morning.

Stayed windy all night here which is unusual for this time of year. Made for a very mild low of 52. Warmest of the year so far. Glad that front is coming through tomorrow because this ridging is starting to get stale.

That pic was at ~ 1200ft. Technically we’d just passed Hancock. Can’t see the terrain because it’s in the cloud deck. But definitely at least 2 weeks behind DC, probably more. Took this yesterday, foliage has been emerging quite rapidly.

That is not in the mountains... only at 564 ft in elevation. The leaf out there is behind here which is surprising because I think its been much warmer there. But it looks like that is quite a bit north of DC so maybe not as warm.

Just below the cloud deck here driving thru Hancock.

I'll be in Whistler and it's supposed to go from near 60 Saturday afternoon to snow near the village Saturday night. Up the hill should go from near 50 to seeing several inches of snow in a few hours.

Wonder if it might trigger thunderstorms for some areas?

Yeah... its going to be quite a change from early afternoon to evening. Pretty unusual.

It delays the rain a couple hours behind the GFS. Still drops to 48 by 8pm, so still an impressive crash.

ECMWF also shows Sunday being fairly sunny and around 60 at SEA so not a bad day after the crash. And then mostly sunny on Monday as well.

ECMWF shows 71 to 58 at SEA between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.

GFS shows one of the most impressive daytime temp crashes I've ever seen tomorrow. From 71 at 2pm to 49 at 5pm in Tacoma.

He says drier in the West but that is not a problem because that area needs to dry out a bit.

His analogs for May are.. Somehow he has 1969 and 1987 (2nd year niños) in there but leaves out closer matches like 2010? I get it’s a subseasonal analog pool but still can’t quite wrap my head around that. Edit: he does have 2010 in there (I missed it) but a good number of those years shouldn’t be included at all IMO.
