It's about to pop off for sure.

Total april fool's joke. Prank'd hard. Not even a sprinkle, just some grey clouds and gusty winds as the lifting mechanism (advancing cold air pool) fell apart fast. Actually really funny how things played out given today's holiday.

These parcels are sharing no pause spilling their contents all over southern snohomish county though. There have been red echoes there for like an hour now. As is the way things typically seem to play out.

Having a few blobs with the rain.  36F now and also the low so far after a high of 42.  Picked up .29" of precip since midnight.  Thanks for being you.

I heard Everett is down to 36 as well. Crazy.

Had some moderate rain earlier but we’re just a little too far north with this WSW flow coming in. Flow needs to turn a bit more southerly for us to get nailed.

Getting a good soaking here from this shower.  Some splats mixed in.

It has been a few minutes and the roads are starting to clear, but you can still see the heavy slush buildup on the sides and in the parking lot.  Stunning this hail event we had.

Seems quite possible that there could be snowflakes in the overnight hours with how cold this airmass is. That’s if there’s precipitation of course. It’s pretty darn chilly hit 41 a bit ago in mid afternoon that’s pretty cold.

As cold as this airmass is, april 2022 was a beast in its own league. That was mid month and we pulled off 2 days with trace accumulations of snow. Coldest April day I’ve ever recorded with a 42/32 temp spread on 4/13 last year…which was totally insane for that time of year.

Yeah this isnt much different than April airmasses we have seen in 2020, 2018, and 2015. Potential to be in the same league as 2012 which was a very cold early April airmass. Early April 2009 seems like a decent analog too.

That same airmass briefly affected us here, delivering a low of 10 on 4/13, the second latest DEN has been that cold.

And then 9 days later we hit 89, the second earliest to reach that temp.

That month stayed pretty cold here the entire time besides a very quick temp spike in early April. Went from me kayaking on the sound in the mid 70s to snow and 34 degrees in mid afternoon and stickage just a couple days later.

Hope y’all up north can get some snow so you can acknowledge this was a stellar winter. Probably won’t see one this good in the west region for another 40 years. Though I’m sure at some point we get a great arctic outbreak.

It was a great winter up here. A lot of people just have different preferences and expectations for what makes a great winter. Statistically it was one of the best of the 21st century. Most people don’t really care about the statistics of it…and are more focused on if they got a big snow or not. Kinda how your favorite winter 2020-2021 was considered amazing because of 1 huge snow event but the rest of it was the opposite of statistically impressive.

At this stage, I would say that the most reasonable forecast is for at least some wet snow to fall IMBY tonight or more precisely tomorrow morning. The preponderance of models are calling for it, and the Euro has been quite insistent about it most of the past week.

It’s been a stellar winter for me already! If I score some sticking snow tomorrow morning, it will the cherry on top of the sundae.

Don’t worry guys, I’m ok. I’m waiting until midnight to report my daily obs since it’s likely I will have a midnight low by then.

That's one of the more weather-geeky things I have seen posted here in some time.

Congratulations!
