Just in! A 6.3 Earthquake (now corrected to a 6.0) struck off the coast of Oregon along the Juan de Fuca fault at approximately 7:25 PM. There is no current tsunami threat. Luckily, this was not along the Cascadia subduction zone. Do you know anyone in Oregon that felt it?

In case you feel like today is warmer than it should be - you wouldn’t be wrong. Our low this morning was normal for the beginning of June, not January. I guess we are getting a reverse Juneuary this year!

Peeked out the window just in time to catch the sunset! Anyone else capture it?

Time for a pattern change! Who’s tired of the rain? If that’s you - you’re in luck! We are headed into a dry period that will last more than just a day or two. Temperatures will also be running above normal - tomorrow a handful of areas will get close to 60 degrees!

Quick Weather Brief - Sunday 1/11/26

Our weather into tomorrow will be wet and breezy - the wet weather this time around will be mainly Seattle north, with more rain the further north you go. Seattle metro may see an inch and a half to an inch of rain through Monday, while further north may see an inch or more.

Winds will be gusty through tomorrow afternoon, 25-35mph gusts a good bet for many areas, strongest gusts near the waterways and north.

Overall, nothing major, just a routine January storm. Stay dry out there friends!

Check out this incredible sunrise from this morning in Montana, taken by my friend Wade Clark! This might be one of the most deeply vibrant sunrises I’ve ever seen. Great captures, Wade!

Great news!

Emergency repairs to US 2 Stevens Pass are complete, and it is OPEN with NO pilot car to Coles Corner (MP 85)! While this is great news, a few things to remember:

-US 2 Tumwater Canyon remains closed, with Chumstick Highway as a detour. Chumstick Highway is a county road with lower speeds and bridge restrictions. It’s already starting to show signs of wear and tear, and we’ll be doing repairs on it next week. With this in mind, please avoid using US 2 for cross-state travel. Alternatives like I-90, US 97 Blewett Pass and SR 28 through Quincy remain better options right now.

- While US 2 Stevens Pass is open to normal traffic flow, this is a mountain pass and it’s winter. Conditions can change quickly. Check conditions before you head out, and be prepared: https://wsdot.com/travel/real-time/mountainpasses/

We’ll keep you updated on the ongoing work to US 2 Tumwater Canyon! o

Mammatus clouds sighting in Everett just now! Signals that our atmosphere is a little unstable right now as our next system prepares to move in. Mammatus clouds are caused by rapidly sinking air, forming the bubble-like clouds.

We are heading into a wet period! Here’s some info from Randy up at Whatcom County Weather

Hydrologic Outlook:
What this is:
• An early heads-up from the National Weather Service
• Issued when conditions could support flooding later on
• Meant to raise awareness, not trigger action
• Covers a longer time window and carries more uncertainty

What this is not:
• Not a Flood Watch
• Not a Flood Warning
• Not an indication that flooding is imminent or guaranteed

We’ll continue to monitor river levels and forecast trends and will share updates if confidence increases.
