Four models. Four different solutions. Uncertainty remains regarding the east wind forecast for Thursday morning. The range extends anywhere from 30-45 MPH. Hopefully we'll have a better idea by the morning. #wawx

Ten years ago today, the first of a series of strong storms was forecast to bring a large bout of wind to the Puget Sound. Let's just say this would turn out to be one of our largest forecast busts in modern history. #wawx

24-hour precipitation totals from 12 AM Tue-12 AM Wed via the HRRR model. Not much unless you're along the coast or north of Everett. Even then, it's not much... #wawx

A localized pressure gradient over the Cascades could kick up the easterly winds Thursday into Friday. This is not looking like anything major. Max wind gusts in the 30-40 MPH range as of now for the Snohomish/King/Pierce foothills. More info to come by Wednesday. #wawx

64 years since this behemoth of a storm moved up the West Coast. The Columbus Day storm of 1962 hasn't had any windstorm hold a candle to it since. Do you remember? #wawx

HRRR sub-hourly forecast temperatures for 7:45 AM tomorrow. There's a good chance this is underdoing how cold the state gets in the morning. Have those ice scrapers ready! #wawx

Twelve years ago today, a waterspout formed near Anderson Island. This yielded the first Tornado Warning in the Seattle area of the 21st century! The spout lifted before impacting Steilacoom and didn't cause damage. Do you remember? #wawx #waterspout

Some shower activity lingers along the 167 corridor this evening. Once it moves south of the Sound, that should be it for at least a couple days. #wawx

The 04z HRRR could be going off the rails again at the last possible minute, or perhaps we would see strong winds across the Salish Sea tomorrow morning. Gotta watch closely now!👀#wawx

While Friday's incoming system looks robust in the upper levels, the surface-level response looks sub-par compared to larger Fall storms. Not expecting anything major to come out of this. #wawx

Yikes. A supposed new or rekindled fire in Okanogan County (south of Ptarmigan) is putting out smoke as well as a heat signature on shortwave IR. Watching closely. #wawx #fire
