White deck!

Incoming.

Two for one kinda day for me! stormy and Orca heading south to Tacoma possibly. They passed Point Robinson (Vashon Island) about an hour ago.

Snowing in t-w-i-s-p

Yup same here

Fantastic Day!!!

Parker said hurry the f*** up dad don’t you see those cells coming right at us

A friend just sent a video of snow falling(not even in a heavy shower). Just west of scappoose at 1100’

Major hail! Power surging at work again.

Forecasted to see 70+mph winds this evening with the frontal passage along with heavy rain changing to snow with near whiteout conditions likely. Later this week our first 70 degree day of the year is possible. Next week the coldest mid April airmass since 2020 looks to hit here with heavy snowfall possible. Must be Spring in the Northern Rockies!

Pretty strong system develops a week from today on the 12z.

Wet happy hour on the deck!

Very loud thunder and now hail has reminded me to get on the forums today.

Stormy ! winds 30-40 48*

Blustery, beautiful day out there.

ICON is colder for next weekend, would be snowy at the higher elevations.

46/34 today. 1.12” of precip. Had a nice hail to snow shower around sunset.

Sideways or not sideways?

Had another hail shower... now have some windswept snowflakes with blue skies visible just to the north and west.

INCOMING!

Thunder

Well alrighty then...

Looking east scanning north to south over lk wa

Pretty remarkable how dry this storm will be in the lowlands and how wet it will be in the mountains. Maybe I'm just used to all the atmospheric rivers we've had this year, but I probably won't even pick up an inch of rain here while the strong orographic lift will lead to 5-7" in the Olympics/Cascades. Anyways, gusts close to 40 mph so far this morning and 0.34" in the bucket, mostly from a thunderstorm that rolled through just after 6 a.m. Mount Baker has picked up 30" of snow since yesterday morning with possibly another 30" by tomorrow afternoon so that's exciting.

It's happening! Gorillas. @Phil@Andie

Woke up to a surprise 2" on the ground. I was just supposed to get rain.

0.41" so far and a peak wind of 26 mph...way better than anything last April.

Can't lie, it was pretty fun guestimating when the next cell would come by. I have a direct view out west, so I got to watch a cell pass by, then the sky clears for a bit as the next cell appears in the distance. Enjoyable activities this afternoon!

Had to go purely by the look of the sky and what the movement of the clouds were…felt like I was a kid again before radar at your fingertips!

Our walk at work was timed just right, started hailing right when we got back into the building today…I think she was proud that I follow the weather so closely and kept her from getting pelted by solid precip!

Tomorrow will be interesting over my area. I'd say 50/50 odds of some lightning.

Pretty wild afternoon here with some very gusty winds, hail, and thunder. Winds were strong enough to bring down a huge branch on our fence which caused some damage and another 3 inch diameter branch blew all the way the across the street. Looking forward to the Tuesday night frost and significant cold snap after the brief warmup later in the week. Looks like April will make up for the very boring March.

Happy hour moved indoors this evening.

Alright, I'm happy. Got a flash of lightning and some pea-sized hail that just came through. All I wanted was some thunder today, so can the wind stop now? Pretty please?

Had a hail snow mix here. Love it.

It seems possible some snow could mix in if we got a heavy enough shower. Still got a couple hours before things start winding down.

Rain, hail and wind here.

Hail storm currently as well with heavy winds!!! Temp 46* and dropping update:44*

Sky is looking angry again!

Just had the line pass over with hail and a burst of "high winds" (relatively speaking). Looks like several lightning strikes in the north county.

THUNDER!!!!!!!!

temp dropped from 48 to 35 in the last 45 minutes as wind switched to out of the North.

100% accurate here.

Looks like a chunk without power due west of me, and looking through my office window it seems like there is weather going on over there. I am proud of myself for remembering how to correctly reset our very finicky server at work to get us back online!

Yeah these maps aren't always the best, though I can say it's pretty accurare for eastern Nebraska so the contrast from most of IA should be even greater than that map shows ugh lol.

We tried to downsize in our move to Tacoma but ended up upsizing based on what was available in a move in ready state. It’s actually worked out well because when the kids come to visit there is enough room for everyone to have their space. It will eventually be more house and yard than we want to maintain but for now it’s all good.

Currently 36. .29” of melted precip through the gauge so far.

I received 0.33" of rain yesterday.
