Looks like it might miss here just to the west as well.

Lightning less than half of mile away from me, shook the house.

Man, you should see the snow pile at my daughters school. That thing will be around a while!

[Ellsworb]

The thunder rumbles were a welcome surprise on the east shore of Lake Tapps!

[Fircrest]

A nice cell passing right over JBLM.  Looks like it will miss me unfortunately.

[Doinko]

Now under a SWS

[Ken in Wood Village]

Looks like people just North of Salem got a little action too

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Some amazing cloud formations out there today.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Another band blowing up over Lane/Douglas counties. That one gonna cause some trouble. 

[Winterdog]

The little snow pile that could. 51F after a high of 52F

[Cold Snap]

Just checked the forum for the first time today looks like some convective activity in the south sound. It also looks like there could be some thunderstorm activity as well tomorrow. The sky does have that convective look right now.

[FroYoBro]

Looks like a tornado is headed my way. Wish me luck. 

[SilverFallsAndrew]

37 and sunny now. Beautiful afternoon. Driveway is a mess, I need to regrade it this summer.

It rained a little bit. 

[Ken in Wood Village]

Tumwater is getting a good light show 🌩

[Ken in Wood Village]

Just SW of Hillsboro is getting a light show too

[awright-31]

At work in Tumwater. Several thunder claps and our parking lot is starting to flood.

[TT-SEA]

The ECMWF is showing another blow up over King and Pierce counties tomorrow afternoon and it also shows temps crashing into the 30s when it happens as colder air moves up from the south.  The ULL that has been offshore for the last few days moves inland over Oregon.

Nice show for us down here! lightning and thunder and some hail.

[Omegaraptor]

My mom just texted me complaining about how cold and rainy it is and whether spring will ever arrive.

What overcrowded polluted SoCal valley should I angrily suggest she move to?

Hmmm... Let's ask Jesse.

[Cascadia_Wx]

Beautiful afternoon out there. Lots of sun at times and some really dramatic cloud formations. Still stayed on the chilly side though. 48/36 spread here. Looks like PDX’s sub-50 stretch may live another day as well.

Hope I get some action in Bothell.

[Slushy Inch]

Maybe some rotation?

So neat to see such an active day out there. This is what spring in the PNW is all about.

[Slushy Inch]

Too bad lightning over North King didn’t materialize.

Cool to see even though I didn’t get anything. I think I’ll have more chances. Bound to get lucky eventually.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Almost on cue, moderate snow and 34. 

[MossMan]

Lots of awesome cloud formations out there like Andrew mentioned earlier! My drive home, that is looking west. Temp down to 43 with sprinkles. 

[Doinko]

[Port Angeles Foothiller]

Some action bubbling around MBY. Down to 37, so might see some flakes if something builds my way.
