Literally only got 0.06” of rain. Unless we get something on the back end of the month this may be the only rainfall for June. Barely even enough rain to soak into the ground lol. Overall things have been pretty dry here and not good considering the dry season is really about to kick in.

Finally some good soaking rainfall here in tacoma. No t-storms or anything today that was kind of a let down. Overall good day now that some rain is finally falling.

Been a windy day here in Tacoma. 30-35mph gusts all day and only a few sprinkles so far. Looks like we’re finally going to get in on the action soon however. Only 54 degrees currently.

Raining here currently now and 56. Really getting breezy here too probably 25-30mph gusts.

58 and mostly cloudy now with a DP of 46. Showers still haven’t penetrated into the main Puget Sound area outside of a shower on the kitsap peninsula.

That is true diffrent set ups. Just in general the cape values out in the Midwest can be in the thousands and it’s rare to get above 500 or so.

you guys definitely get more t-storms in that region than up here. 400 cape values up here is considered high lol.

been a MOIST morning there as well haha.

No thunderstorm for you!

Big slug of precip on the south end of the low center beginning to move inland. Some decent echoes on radar still going on in the SW interior and in NW Oregon. Showers trying to build up on the kitsap peninsula currently. Been a really nice morning here overall sunny cool and breezy 57 right now. Clouds beginning to build in here from the west.

Flow seems to be switching from NW to W currently heavier showers are starting to enter the Puget Sound.

Currently 57 with a DP of 45. Been some sunbreaks all morning long adding to that instability. Breezy as well. Heavier showers to the south of here in the SW interior down into OR and still some showers around whidbey island. Showers beginning to pop up on the east slopes of the Olympics now as well.

Great...

Looks like places like Seattle itself and north of Seattle are supposed to be seeing less activity this afternoon and evening. South of Seattle in South king and pierce county throughout the SW interior should do better today. Especially once the low center continues to drop south.

true that WA definitely needs the rain more than OR and they should get it today!

Some heavy bands of rain associated with the low moving onshore currently. Some heavier showers out in the SW interior moving SE. Few showers up near the admiralty inlet and whidbey Island as well. Showers in the interior are going to start ramping up soon.

Currently 53 degrees with a DP of 46. Sun is out here for the most part which is a good sign for this afternoon. Looking at mountain cams it’s currently snowing at Stevens pass as well as hurricane ridge and paradise getting snow last night.

sunbreaks are only adding to the instability this morning as well. Should be an interesting day coming up.

52 and mostly cloudy this morning. Low of 47 last night. Low pressure center visible on radar right of the Washington coast near forks. More snow fell last night at paradise and also some at hurricane ridge. Wasn’t any rainfall here last night but that should change today.

We had white christmases here locally in 2008 and 2017. I’m not sure about Oregon but either way it’s rare. With the way the neutral ENSO pattern is setting up maybe we have a chance this year!

definetly makes sense Considering all the factors involved. Been awhile since there’s been significant cold and snow in December and January throughout the region.

A white Christmas like 2017 would be nice!

Yeah should be a cool evening coming up. Was 46 here last night and there was even snow up at paradise today. Interesting to see late season snow in the higher elevations and should be a touch cooler tomorrow even. High temps tomorrow should be in the mid to upper 50s. On Monday and Tuesday it should be in the mid to upper 80s so quite a transition coming up. Overall tomorrow looks active. the low center is currently dropping SE along the north tip of Vancouver island.

Cliff mass just posted a new article about the thunderstorm potential tomorrow. Good info on there about the weather potential tomorrow. Wish this was more like a 5/4/17 set up but that was rare stuff.

There will be more opportunities for t-storms eventually in Portland just like there will eventually be another windstorm and snowstorm just wait and see
