Same story for Washington (pictured) and Oregon.
Need 90th percentile snow from here on out to get to normal.
No snow coming anytime soon, so we'd need a record snowy Feb-Mar just to reach normal.
Hint: that ain't happening.

One of those days in Seattle where you should probably cancel your afternoon meetings and take an extended lunch because it might be a while before we have sunshine and nearly 60 degree temperatures again.
(by the way, the record high for the date is 58)

What month is it...you may ask...as temperatures reach the upper 50s (even isolated low 60s) today across Western Washington! Enjoy it, because by tomorrow morning, it's going to be quite foggy, dense fog in some spots, with widespread visibility under 1/4 mile. Stay tuned! #wawx

Just checked with the experts and the Space Needle has not disappeared. It really is still there.
Happy New Year!

FINAL UPDATE OF 2025!!
Visibility reported at 0.13 miles at Boeing Field & air quality is getting worse across the metro, with light winds & smoke. As we see on the KOMO News Columbia Tower cam, #Seattle is encased in a low layer of fog. An interesting fireworks show ahead! #wawx

After a crazy December, there's not much PNW weather news to report.
A few weak weather systems will move through from Thursday night -> next week. Temperatures will be near-normal and precipitation will generally be light.
For mid-January, current odds favor a transition back to dry weather.

Aaaaand it’s really picked up now. Approx. 1 inch of accumulation out here now - sounds like it’s much heavier in Sultan and Gold Bar. Classic convergence zone stuff! #wawx

12 PM Wed: Our low has tracked up the Coast Range and is near the Olympic Mountains now. It is very weak, with barely a pressure gradient at all behind it. That being said, winds are very minor. Expect gusts of 20-35 mph at most across the region thru this evening. #wawx

The "wind storm" such as it is, is coming through the Seattle area now with gusts around 25-35 mph (though West Point off Magnolia hit 41 mph). Breezy weather will move north through the afternoon but no impacts expected.
