Fast-developing low center moving in on the back end of our atmospheric river. Euro and NAM models showing windy conditions this morning-early afternoon, with gusts 45-50 mph for most areas (NAM is much stronger, Euro seems more reasonable). Be aware and stay tuned! #wawx

In this morning's video, I talked about the Euro and NBM being quite different for Seattle's precip amounts w/the upcoming Halloween #AtmosphericRiver. Euro showed 0.8" vs NBM showing 1.5". Now, look at our comparison post-12Z Euro. Good agreement on 1-1.5"! #wawx

Snoqualmie Pass CLOSED eastbound as of 10 PM Sunday, as a strong Puget Sound Convergence Zone slams the I-90 corridor. Nothing impacts Snoqualmie Pass like these rapid-onset PSCZ bands. Stay safe! #wawx

Quite a storm across Western Washington! 273K customers out across the state, PSE has 144K out. 59% of Grays Harbor County has no power after winds over 70 mph. Thurston County and the foothills/eastside getting the brunt of it. Gonna be awhile for some of this to be fixed. #wawx
