Good morning!
It's Thursday, we're one week away from Thanksgiving (how?!) - and it still appears that we will be headed into a pattern change with cooling temperatures and lowering snow levels. If you have travel plans that include crossing the Cascades next week, you'll definitely want to stay tuned to the forecast as there is a risk of heavy snow at times at the passes.

For your Thursday forecast - we start the day with clouds and a few passing showers this morning, mainly confined to the foothills. The afternoon is expected to dry and bring out some sunbreaks. Temperatures will be in the low 50s - enjoy it while it's here because it is likely that our highs will struggle to get into the mid 40s next week.

Some areas are seeing dense fog this morning! Use caution if you are on the roadways - if visibility is reduced, slow down and increase your following distance for safety!

Check out this sunrise today! I unfortunately missed it! Nice catch Ben!

AMAZING SUNRISE THIS MORNING! Who else saw this stunning display!? I'm thankful for my wife who turned to me as I was groggy and sitting on the couch waking up as she said, "woaaah Ben you should see the color outside." Immediately I leapt to action, ran upstairs to grab my camera and bolted outside....barefoot. 🤣 Needless to say, I'm awake now!

Here's some good info from Scott about the longer term winter forecast. Will La Nina last?

Happy Tuesday!

Today we start to dry out just a little under grey skies - some passing showers are possible the weekend deluge is behind us now. It is possible to see a peek of sun out there today, but tomorrow should be a little more sunny! I think we all deserve a little bit of sunshine for the middle of our week.

Long term models are still hinting toward cooler weather next week, but exact details are still uncertain aside from the likelihood of heavy mountain snow that could affect holiday travel. Stay tuned to the forecast as we get a little closer - and in the meantime you can probably take the waders and fins off for a little bit!

Wow! Did it feel super dark to anyone else too? It sure did to me. The big dark is definitely here.

Anyone else feel the "Big Dark" the last couple days? Dustin Guy with US National Weather Service Seattle Washington says ground measurements on Monday at solar noon only captured 60 Watts/m^2 of solar irradiance in Seattle.

"That's less than a sixth of the total possible for the time of day," Guy said.

It appears that higher elevation snow is becoming more and more likely for Thanksgiving week! Keep your eyes on the forecast if your holiday plans include traveling across the Cascades!

❄️ THANKSGIVING SNOW

Starting to see early hints that the week of Thanksgiving may bring heavy snow to the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. If you’re planning to travel, keep a close eye on the weather.
