Joining Dawgcast was truly one of the best choices I made during my time at UW. I got to meet so many amazing people and share the fun of northwest forecasting. I will miss it very much but look forward to seeing what will happen for everyone in the future. #wawx

That is how much fell between 6PM last night and early this morning near downtown Bothell under the PSCZ. #wawx

β€˜This is a big problem’: Two California weather offices no longer provide 24/7 warnings Collectively, the Central Valley offices issue forecasts and warnings from Redding to Bakersfield, including Lassen, Yosemite, Kings and Sequoia National Parks.

NEW: Two California weather service offices will no longer operate 24/7, curtailing the output of an agency that issues warnings for more than 7 million people in the Central Valley. #CAwx

A spokesperson for NOAA confirmed to @sfchronicle.com that the offices were not operating around-the-clock.

Our coastal radar captured the marine air boundary moving inland over the last couple hours.

Stations around Montesano saw temps drops from near 80 to around 70. #wawx

Tho chasing often involves long drives & occl β€œbust,” it’s made better by whom you see along the way.

Sorry I don’t, I usually use another place for radar data but that is bizarre.

The mass firing of both new hires and recently promoted senior staff within #NOAA, including mission-critical and life-saving roles at the National Weather Service (#NWS), is profoundly alarming.

Tonight I sent a letter to Commerce Secretary Lutnick, urging him to exempt NWS from the federal hiring freeze due to the critical role the agency plays in public safety and supporting the economy, (1/2)

We are not expecting a big snowstorm, but there is a chance to see some flakes flying this weekend.

The best opportunity appears during the overnight hours when temps cool to around freezing. πŸŒ¦οΈβ„οΈ #wawx

Satellite view of the storm that will bring windy conditions tonight into tomorrow morning.

This one has been tricky to forecast the peak winds so prepare for power outages now as you wrap up Christmas celebrations. #wawx #wind

Winds will start pick up after 3PM today and peak between 7PM and midnight. Most impacted areas will be in the western Cascade foothill communities.

Make sure to keep devices charged, have a flashlight, and secure any loose outdoor items. #wawx #wind
