Incredible shelf cloud in Elkhart, IL, this morning, on the leading edge of the first round of convection. And a shelfie of course! #ilwx
It’s time for Bluesky to witness a beautiful structured green / orange supercell with a backlit tornado video 🌪️🌪️🌪️
Not a good situation ongoing across Eastern WA, with multiple large fires burning as of this afternoon. Some of these are or may threaten homes. Red Flag Warnings are in effect due to strong winds and dry conditions today. Stay safe! #wawx
Tomorrow will be the first critical fire weather day of the 2026 wildfire season. With wind gusts up to 45mph, crews will be working hard to keep existing fires contained. Please do not give them another fire to chase after. LEARN MORE ➡️ dnr.wa.gov/wildfire-res... #wawx #wawildfire
What the hail? 1/4-almost 1/2” diameter in Mukilteo
The convergence zone is firing today! Nasty line of storms between Monroe and Gold Bar, and a few others south towards Snoqualmie and North Bend. The sky looks angry today. #wawx
Just had a good little cell move through SE of Duvall - wind, pouring rain, and hail! Looks like a few other cells near Maple Valley, Monroe, and Snoqualmie. Not a good day for Duvall Days with the Grand Parade scheduled for 10:30am ⛈️ #wawx
Sure won't feel like June over the next few days...on Saturday, expect highs 10-20º below average, plus localized high mountain snow, a chance of lowland thunderstorms (watch out!), and rain at times. Decent CAPE (instability) exists Sat. aftn. for t-storm potential! #wawx

Textbook Puget Sound Convergence Zone ongoing from the Kitsap Peninsula through Seattle and along the I-90 corridor into the Cascades! (Radar image: 9:30 PM Friday) #wawx
A couple nice days ahead for WA...expect highs on Thursday (left) and Friday (right) to be in the low-mid 70s north of Seattle, and mid 70s to low 80s south of Seattle. Plus, similar on Saturday! #wawx
As if the thunderstorms and temperature roller coaster wasn't enough...Wednesday will be WINDY! The European model is showing gusts up to 40-45 mph for parts of Western WA, including Seattle, with good ensemble agreement (right). Plus, 45-55 mph gusts in Eastern WA! #wawx
Upper level low, hot day, potential thunderstorms, and widespread rain all possible as we go through Tuesday and Wednesday! Stay tuned for more information!! #wawx
Double rainbow and the sun setting through a rain shower to end this Mother’s Day in Federal Way! #wawx
And so it begins...the #Highway24Fire is burning along WA-24 between Mattawa and Othello, with winds currently gusting 25-35 mph as of 10:30 PM Sunday. No acreage known yet. #wawx
Quite a nice setup for Tuesday seen on the European model tonight. Really nicely placed trough to our south to bring thunderstorms across Western Washington (hits Seattle ~2 PM), plus temps in the upper 70s-mid 80s! Lots of uncertainty, so stay tuned to tomorrow's video! #wawx
Some thunderstorms that may initially fire in western Oregon during Tuesday afternoon as a low pressure center approaches there may get pushed to the north into Western Washington ⛈️ #wawx #wastorms LEARN MORE: emeraldcityweather.com/thunderstorm...
