Yeah this is the first time this winter we are seeing something resembling a trend in the direction of actual winter weather. It may well be 10 days away but mentally I need this

FWIW... the ECMWF cloud loop for next 6 days. It has been consistently showing low clouds holding pretty tough tomorrow and Thursday and then breaking up Friday through the weekend. Hopefully we have enough ventilation over the weekend to allow for sun and blue sky even in Seattle.

I'd be sad if it's 50s and full sun. My elevation and proximity to the easterly gap winds do suck though. It might be over.

I believe the downtown Seattle record. Would make sense given downtown Portland has achieved the same (UHI was still a thing back then, just much more confined to downtown cores). Back then, the UW area wasn't as developed as it is now. What's PDX's record?

Yeah, I wonder how accurate the models are that are saying 50s with full sun here all weekend. Hard to pull off in January as we almost always end up in a stagnant inversion. We may be far enough from the Sound to avoid the fog. Will be close.
