The ice pellets coming out if this front hurt a little, about chickpea sized. East Renton Highlands #wawx

What a magnificent sight it was to see the Great Horned Owl perched gracefully on her eggs this drizzly afternoon. She exudes a sense of tranquility and determination, perfectly nestled in her cozy spot, undeterred by the rain🦉🌧️🌲 #pnw #sonorthwest #owl #nature #wildlife #wawx #greathornedowl

Incredible golden hour glow and dramatic clouds at sunset tonight in Seattle between the rain showers #wawx #seattle #pnw #WxSky

Same view, only a few hours apart #wawx #seattlewx

A brief time lapse of last nights Aurora show.

Not terribly surprising, but most of Washington is highlighted by NIFC for above normal wildland fire potential by July. A good reminder that wildfire season is just around the corner, so a good time to prepare is now! #wawx #wafire

Delayed tornado outbreak in western WA astonishes forecasters… 4.1.25 #wawx

Wall cloud approaching SF with heavy rain crossing the Golden Gate. #CAwx 🌧️

Take 2!

This morning’s inversion layer over the Cascade foothills is a stunner! Looking NE with Mount Baker in the distance. #wawx #pnw #wxSky #WxPics

M 7.1 earthquake - 90 km SE of Pangai, Tonga at 2025-03-30 12:18:43 (UTC) There is no tsunami danger for the U.S. West Coast, British Columbia, or Alaska. Based on earthquake information and historic tsunami records, the earthquake is not expected to generate a tsunami.

You will never guess which NWS forecast office has the most ice storm warnings since 2010. It’s our friend @puravidawx.bsky.social’s office.

My biggest takeaway from the PNW thunderstorms yesterday and the collective disappointment in lack of damaging hail and tornadoes is this: time to bring this educational graphic back out. #WaWx

To my Canadian followers…I feel for you, and I hope you know that many Americans stand with you all. Sad to see Trump nuke our relationship with our closest ally and friend. #StandWithCanada 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Lighting over Seattle tonight #wawx #wx #seattle

The complex of thunderstorms continues to move north… Lightning in the Skagit Valley just north of Mount Vernon — 837p pt #ShareYourWeather #WAwx

Some somewhat interesting cloud shapes from today. #wawx

Incredible the low levels never destabilized enough to realize the severe threat, especially with record highs at PDX. EML just too strong. Also shocked at lack of more substantial elevated convection. Thought for sure we’d see a few severe warnings at least… #wawx

After all the dire warnings, this really turned out to be a fairly typical march thunderstorm. #wawx

Eerie sunset plus thunderstorms in Port Angeles as seen from my parents' web cam. #wawx

It isn’t every day you see an SPC mesoscale discussion for supercell and tornado risk in the Columbia River valley of Washington / Oregon… #wawx #orwx www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/...

Quite the impressive forecast sounding from the Centralia, Washington area. While a #Tornado risk is definitely in play today, arguably more notable is that potentially record breaking hailstones (2 in+) are possible later today in the Willamette Valley up towards SeaTac. #WAwx #ORwx #weather #WxSky

Mammatus clouds. #wawx #clouds #weather

This is pretty freaky. Radar image is from May 4, 2017 -- the last time Seattle area was in a multi-day severe weather risk from SPC. The other image is predicted radar at 8 p.m. by the HRRR model. #wawx

Dew points around Portland and Seattle are slightly lower than I thought they would be this morning - right around 10-12°C. On the other had, plenty of accas indicating mid-level instability. Some weak storms already firing in the Oregon Coast Range. #WAwx #ORwx #pdxtst

A foggy start to a severe weather day here in WA. A few bolts already kicking up on the Olympic Peninsula, but looking forward to the main show later this afternoon! #wawx #seattle #wx #pnw #WxSky #WxPics

Never going to Oklahoma

🚨🚨 New NWS Storm Prediction Center outlook just in…with a marginal risk of severe thunderstorms on Wednesday from the Cascades westward to the ocean and parts of E. WA too. European model is pretty bullish on coverage and intensity of storms, and even has dewpoints of 55-60°! Stay tuned! #wawx

The Storm Prediction Center warns of severe thunderstorms in the Pacific Northwest on Wednesday. Precipitable water in the 99th percentile and upper-level divergence will allow for explosive thunderstorm development as a negatively tilted low-pressure system approaches. #WAwx #ORwx #IDwx
