Joining Dawgcast was truly one of the best choices I made during my time at UW. I got to meet so many amazing people and share the fun of northwest forecasting. I will miss it very much but look forward to seeing what will happen for everyone in the future. #wawx
Today we had our last club meeting of the 2024-2025 school year! We enjoyed bringing you the forecasts this last year with plenty of wind, rain, and even snow to keep us busy. ❄️🍃🌦️

State tuned for summer forecasts! ☀️🌇 #wawx

NEW: Two California weather service offices will no longer operate 24/7, curtailing the output of an agency that issues warnings for more than 7 million people in the Central Valley. #CAwx

A spokesperson for NOAA confirmed to @sfchronicle.com that the offices were not operating around-the-clock.

Our coastal radar captured the marine air boundary moving inland over the last couple hours.

Stations around Montesano saw temps drops from near 80 to around 70. #wawx

Saturday is looking nice and warm with a few clouds before rain returns on Sunday. Great opportunity to see the cherry blossoms if you don’t mind the crowds. 🌤️🌸 #wawx #spring

⚡️WEDNESDAY THUNDERSTORMS⚡️

Strong thunderstorms will move through the region tomorrow evening. The biggest concerns will be frequent lightning, gusty winds, heavy downpours, and a chance for isolated 1-2" hail. #wawx

The mass firing of both new hires and recently promoted senior staff within #NOAA, including mission-critical and life-saving roles at the National Weather Service (#NWS), is profoundly alarming.

We are not expecting a big snowstorm, but there is a chance to see some flakes flying this weekend.

The best opportunity appears during the overnight hours when temps cool to around freezing. 🌦️❄️ #wawx

This one has been tricky to forecast the peak winds so prepare for power outages now as you wrap up Christmas celebrations. #wawx #wind
