With clear skies and a calm wind, it got down to 34 here this morning. I do not see any frost in my yard, but it is still cold out. The next 3 days continue to look very cold for May with highs about 10° below average. There is once again a chance of frost tonight and Monday night with lows in the 30’s. For the next week there is just one good chance for showers and that comes Tuesday night. At this time it looks to warmup by next weekend. But continues to look dry.

@SeattleMarineLayerFan is Tim’s rage bait final boss lmao

Balance is needed. Most days should be cloudy and overcast, with an entrenched marine layer. But some days need to be nice and warm, with plenty of clouds to minimize the direct impact of the sun... Tuesday will be just that. Monday will actually be the worst day of the week with fully clear skies despite being 10 degrees cooler than Tuesday. And from these warm days, we need some days with rain and convection to keep things fresh.

You don't get to see the stars or hear the rolling thunder very much here.

Overcast marine layer clouds do not make pretty sunsets.
