Soooo close to greatness lol 

WW gets a bit snow shadowed, could change.

[LowerGarfield]

Had about five minutes of hail roll through. Exciting but a bit sad because hail means we're getting away from winter at my location. Otherwise it would be graupel. Anyway I'm going to be glued to the reports tonight so please keep them coming eap those in Oregon.

Something frozen is falling from the sky!

I got a rain snow mix in Bothell a little bit ago. 

[Weiner Warrior]

Getting dark. Wind is picking up in Bellevue. This is it. It's cumming.

Is that batch of clouds just off the NW tip of Vancouver Island our next weathermaker? 

Yup. Looks to be developing into a mini-cold front. Healthy.

Awesome!   Where are you staying in Maui?

We’re actually bouncing around quite a bit! I’ve never been but my wife has a lot. Most of our time will be on the west side. Very excited! Seems there’s hope the real cold here holds off until I’m back also. 

[RayRay]

Weeeeeee weeeeeeee

 

8 PM hopefully earlier…

Would be perfect for snow cones

Rain/sleet mix here in Roosevelt. The CZ hath cometh. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

36" 10:1 28" Kuchera here on this run... I'll take half that and call it good.

[SouthHillFrosty]

Looks ok tbh

Party continues through St. Patty's Day. Looks very 2012-ish.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Great GFS run, with more on the way at the end.

38º with alternating sunbreaks and 1/4-inch hail here. Fun!

My bit of extra elevation may be a big help tonight. We shall see.

I'd say 2-4" for you. 

[Christensen87]

This would be nice for South King/North Pierce folks later tonight. 

[Cold Snap]

This just went up

Gdi i'm going to be right on the line. Probably nothing here.

That has popped up on a lot of models lately… big question is how strong it will be tbh

[Seattle]

Impressive drop in temp. From 48.0 at 2:30 to 37.0 now (and still dropping!)

[WildrootParable]

Right now it's a very typical February day out there: cold and gray, no precip of any kind. Very curious to see how this all shakes out! Some thunder and enough flakes to make things pretty would be perfectly satisfactory. 

[Perturbed Member]

38.5F and positive splat test. Real chunky rain. Pretty hefty showers coming through with strong precip rates. 

Would be great to get an organized line of showers like this tonight.

[TacomaWx]

Very dark clouds moving in from the NW here in eastsound. 

[RentonHill]

Well, GEFS certainly looks good at Day 10. 

[TacomaWx]

Big hail currently. 

[kokaneekidz]

Awesome in Overlake Bellevue near work

Trough kind of wonders offshore, but is colder than previous runs.

I do remember with that early December event the Euro was lighter than the GRAF which had made a last minute shift to 2-3" totals. Seems kind of like the opposite this time

I will say the GRAF output looks strange. It shows zero precip for PDX during the day. The radar very much says otherwise. It is pouring here and 4F cooler than the projected GRAF temp. Lets hope it busts badly. 

[joelgombiner]

Latest gusts: 

Destruction Island: 49 mph from the NW

Race Rocks Automatic Weather Station: 59 mph from the W

That feature over King County looks delicious 

[SouthHillFrosty]

We need @SilverFallsAndrew to drop a selfie to ensure everyone gets snow tonight.
