Puget Sound weather in a nutshell
Cool & cloudy, with moderate rain every other day or so. It must be March … or November, December, January, February, or April … in the Northwest! 🤣
26 years ago today, in what feels like a forgotten windstorm, Seattle gusted to 60 mph. There was no school for thousands of kids the next day — Seattle’s latest (in the school year) wind-related school closure in memory.
What a fabulous start to March! Made it up to 62 today with plenty of afternoon sun . ☀️
For the first time in months, it’s 60 degrees in Seattle! 👏
Caught a glimpse of the mountain from Ballard
Peak gusts I've found: 88 mph Cape Disappointment 88 mph Clatsop Spit (near Astoria), OR 76 mph Astoria Megler Bridge 70 mph Hoquiam 61 mph Whidbey NAS Station 60 mph Seattle/Boeing Field 59 mph Tacoma Narrows / Gig Harbor 56 mph Westport 55 mph Bellevue 52 mph Seattle/ Sea-Tac 52 mph Everett #wawx
sideways rain in seattle! little bit of thunder too ✨ thanks for the warning, @seattleweather.bsky.social !
Dark and stormy night ahead! Prepare for heavy rain and gusty winds—near 50 mph in the Seattle area. At this time of year, that’s usually not enough to cause widespread power outages as trees are bare/weaker branches have already fallen. We’ll see.
Some crazy stats as we await the arrival of ❄️snow tonight: 🔹February is running TEN degrees below normal 🔹32 of the last 33 days have been colder than normal. 🔹Seattle has recorded 26 freezes since New Year’s
❄️MORE SNOW AHEAD❄️ Fresh off back-to-back record low temps in Seattle (20° today, 23° yesterday), snowy weather will add to this week’s wintry feel. Plan on light snow from Seattle south tomorrow afternoon, moving north during the evening. Accumulations of 1-2” possible. 😀😀
No signs of the cold weather letting up anytime soon. 🥶 Plan on high temps only in the 30s for the next week! Normal early February high is 50 degrees.
Has been snowing for about 2 hours here SE of Duvall (500’ in elevation & 32°F) #wawx
Winter wonderland here in the Cascade foothills! At least an inch, if not more, accumulated so far. #wawx
Enjoy 20 seconds of snow falling this morning in Tacoma. It was delightful!
Good chance of more sticking snow for Seattle through Monday! Showers will be hit-and-miss, but most should pick up an inch. And maybe more. 🤞🤞
