      April 2026 Weather In The PNW

      I've noticed that Spring has the greatest year-to-year variability overall. Summers have been sunny and warm for over a decade. Winters are always cloudy and wet to a general degree barring exceptional weather patterns. And Fall lacks the surface heating of Spring due to post-equinox dim sunlight, so sunny popcorn shower days lasting past 7pm just don't happen. Spring 2022 was cloudy and cool. 2016 outrageously summerlike. This year has been on the wetter end of normal with so-so temps. It's a relatively mixed bag for what should be on paper our longest and most stable season. Speaking of this Spring, the tenuous rainfall setup Tuesday into Wednesday sort of marks an inflection point between a continuation of this wet season, and the beginning of the dry season. If the drier GFS/AI solutions verify we could be looking at browning lawns in the city by the end of May, especially with the drier look in the long range. Ideally we'll get a nice train of midlevel storms followed by that stratoform deform pinch-off ahead of the secondary polar trough. Ceiling is high at or above 1"... but the floor is a total dud.

      April 2026 Weather In The PNW

      57/33 today out here. We picked up 1.20” of rain on Tuesday to hit 1.87” of rain for the month. Gfs and the euro don’t have too much rain the next 10 days and it looks like it’ll be a warm weekend.

      April 2026 Weather In The PNW

      It was really wet and heavy so not entirely sure... it looked like maybe about 1 to 1.5 inches at the peak. But by this morning it was already mush and melting so I never had the chance to verify.
