Coastal radar looks great but none of that is reaching far inland… at least not yet. 

We have sprinkles of huge rain drops currently, very sporadic.

67 here, work was reporting 40mph winds around 11 this morning.

The only things that did good for us this year was onions and our 1 shishito pepper plant, only got like 10 edible tomatoes, last year we pushed 100.  

Best year ever for our garden... probably more related to all the improvements we made.    But the weather certainly helped.    We have picked well over 100 tomatoes and still might get another 30 or so.

Mega dark sky to the west!

Sunday storm coming in further NW and a bit weaker on the druncle. I feel like it will stay offshore and make a meager landfall around central or northern Vancouver Island.

[TigerWoodsLibido]

Got up to 76F before the pattern change began. Now down to 73F with rain and wind coming in from the S. Sadly, my rain gauge is broken or blocked and I can't go onto a roof because of seizures.

I still am forever grateful to @MR.SNOWMIZERand @SilverFallsAndrew for helping me get this set up!! I hope both of y'all get buried this fall-winter!!

AR nails Oregon hour 162 on the 18z. Looks like an active week coming up!

EUG was 64. You were really 12 degrees warmer?

[TacomaWaWx]

Wow we just hit 70 here. Latest 70 degree day I’ve recorded here in the last 15 years. Came close to hitting 70 in November 2010 but didn’t do it. Some off and on raindrops here but nothing meaningful for a couple more hours it looks like.

I just looked out of curiosity myself and did see some stations in the mid 70s too. On the north side of town it didn’t hit the 70s very interesting.

Yup, great example of how the SE valley is often warmer than the airport in winter weather setups too.

[Geos]

At 69° where I am in Kenmore. Was not expecting these temps today! Came across a power outage on the west fringe of Bothell a little while ago. 

Little rain starting to fall.

[Rubus Leucodermis]

69˚F.

Compressional warming from wind descending off higher terrain to the south. It often affects Bellingham during south wind events, too.

High for today was 74 currently it's 70 and breezy.

Yeah, I would imagine the downsloping off of Mt. Pisgah to the immediate SSE of Springfield operates similarly to Bellingham and the Chuckanuts.

We hit 69 our previous high for the month was 64. Raining now and 56.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Pic from right before the rain. And one once it started. Fall colors are peaking.

Yup and the Kalapuyas in general. The air slides into the SE part of the valley and down into us first.

[Chewbacca Defense]

BLI is ready for winter!

[T-Town]

Nice day at Alderbrook. 55 degrees. Was totally calm earlier but rainy and windy now. 

[Cloud]

Decent blow today actually. 16-18mph sustained with 28-30mph gusts. If the low had tracked a little bit closer it would be a significant event.  Also quite warm out and an occasional really big rain droplets.

Still holding steady at 69˚F here. Would not surprise me if it gets into the 70’s. Could even happen after dark if the wind is right.

[TT-SEA]

SEA stalled at 69 for the high... of course!    

 

[TacomaWaWx]

Wind kicked in now and it’s raining.

[MossMan]

Just had a shower. 
Sprinkling as well outside. 

[Rubus Leucodermis]
