Cold morning w/lots of frost & areas of black ice across Western WA, with lows in the upper 20s to low 30s across the region, and down to the mid teens to low 20s in the mountains…and down to 0° in the Methow Valley! #wawx

It took until the third-to-last morning of 2025 but we finally have just our second official frozen morning this winter in #Seattle. emeraldcityweather.com/seattle-free... #wawx

❄️❄️ Did you get some lowland snow overnight? Comment your photos, location, and amount, and I’ll feature your photos in today’s video on Western Washington Weather! #wawx

Woke up to a nice little winter wonderland outside today #wawx

Aaaaand it’s really picked up now. Approx. 1 inch of accumulation out here now - sounds like it’s much heavier in Sultan and Gold Bar. Classic convergence zone stuff! #wawx

Have a bit of a dusting of snow/graupel here in the Cascade foothills in NE King County tonight #wawx

Strong Convergence Zone band between Port Gamble and Stevens Pass bringing some reports of snow pellets or rain/snow mix in southern Snohomish County as of 3:45 PM! What are you seeing out there? #wawx

12 PM Wed: Our low has tracked up the Coast Range and is near the Olympic Mountains now. It is very weak, with barely a pressure gradient at all behind it. That being said, winds are very minor. Expect gusts of 20-35 mph at most across the region thru this evening. #wawx

The "wind storm" such as it is, is coming through the Seattle area now with gusts around 25-35 mph (though West Point off Magnolia hit 41 mph). Breezy weather will move north through the afternoon but no impacts expected.

5:50 AM Wed: Good news, folks! Surface obs show that our storm has moved inland over OR. This means that we will have weaker winds, likely gusting 40-45 mph for most areas Seattle south, and 45-55 mph Seattle north, strongest near water. 8 AM livestream canceled, video at 10 AM. #wawx

Hi hello is this thing on? Dear Atmosphere, Please give us a break. Sincerely, Literally everyone on the West Coast (except our slope-loving friends who could really use a decent snow pack after a very late start to the season) #wawx #orwx #cawx

⚠️🚨 NEW WIND ALERTS ISSUED 🚨⚠️ ➡️ HIGH WIND WARNING: 10a-7p, all lowlands north of Lewis Co & all islands ➡️ Wind SW 25-35 mph, gusts 50-60 mph ➡️ WIND ADVISORY: 4a-7p, foothills from Whatcom Co to Lewis Co ➡️ Wind out of gaps (E 15-25, G 45, shifts to SW 20-30, G 50) #wawx

The 3km NAM seems...reasonable? Not a destructive windstorm, but certainly disruptive. Scattered power outages are likely. Still potential for higher-end gusts depending on the track... #wawx

Latest evening models runs coming in to add to wind forecasting headache. HRRR model -- once a wind skeptic - is now falling into the "strong storm" camp. The NAM model, which had been leading the OMG charge, has now slid back to reality. #wawx

High Wind Watches issued for Seattle area and much of Western WA for Christmas Eve, but storm still has high uncertainty with range of winds from 12-67 mph :O MORE: emeraldcityweather.com/christmas-ev... #wawx #wawind

The GFS is firmly in the camp of the NAM and the UW-WRF which have been firm in their convictions for a stronger wind storm on Christmas Eve. Still high uncertainty, this system will require an unusual amount of "Nowcasting", but odds for strong gusts seem to have increased #wawx

⚠️⚠️ High Wind Watches now in effect for a good portion of Western WA on Christmas Eve. NWS going with gusts of 50-60 mph so far. Tons of uncertainty continues. #wawx

A Christmas Eve windstorm is appearing increasingly likely with a compact 980 hPa low + trailing sting jet expected to take a troublesome S to N track. Willamette Valley, coast, PDX, SEA metros all potentially impacted. Lots of model uncertainty…follow forecasts closely. Could be a bad one.

Took a break this weekend from the westside to enjoy the snow in Central WA❄️ #wawx

Much more snow on I-90 as darkness falls and steadier snow bands move through! Winter Storm Warning extended to midnight! #wawx

Quite a snowy evening at Snoqualmie Pass! Be careful if crossing the passes overnight and through Sunday! #wawx

Wind. Details later.

PEAK WA GUSTS (excluding mountains): Pullman: 81 mph Spokane: 75 mph NAS Whidbey: 71 mph Sequim: 69 mph Tri-Cities: 66 mph Westport: 65 mph Wenatchee: 63 mph Moses Lake: 60 mph Graham: 59 mph Hoquiam: 58 mph Ellensburg: 56 mph Sea-Tac Airport: 51 mph Renton: 51 mph #wawx

Today ends 12-day streak of 50+ degree December days, a symptom of relentless trains of tropically infused atmospheric rivers that left towns full of water, yards full of tree debris, yet ski resorts bare of snow. We’re changing all 3 narratives now. MORE: emeraldcityweather.com/feet-of-snow...

More than 364K outages are being reported across the state after a windstorm knocked out power across western and eastern Washington. Snoqualmie Pass is without power with a Blizzard Warning still in effect. Be safe out there! #wawx

INCREDIBLE shelf cloud for Washington state standards as the westerly surge is moving through Everett now! #wawx

Big power outages across the region. Huge swaths out for Whidbey & Skagit County, many outages in Thurston County as well. PSE up to 78K out, as of 1:15 AM. #wawx

Serious wind storm incoming tonight. It will be a relatively quick-hitting system, but the max winds will pack a punch. Here are the low-end, most likely, and high-end scenarios. Be ready for power outages! #wawx

The entire western half of the state is under some kind of (or multiple) weather alert. #wawx

Unsurprising but will be catastrophic economically for communities between Skykomish and Leavenworth, including Leavenworth itself and Stevens Pass Ski Resort. #wawx

NWS has upgraded this to a Blizzard Warning, 2am to 10am tomorrow (Wednesday) #wawx

Just put out by the NWS, Blizzard Warning above 2,000 Feet!!! #wawx

#BREAKING: New drone video from Pacific, WA, on Tuesday morning following a levee failure on the White River at Pacific City Park. Whole neighborhoods are underwater as water continues flowing out of the failed levee. #wawx #flood #drone

Update from Pacific, WA, this morning, following a levee failure on the White River, which has sent water rushing into neighborhoods. Evacuations are in place, repairs are ongoing, but this may take awhile. #wawx

The wind advisory has been dropped for a new high wind warning for certain parts of Western Washington from 7PM tonight until 6AM tomorrow. Sustained winds out of the southwest (or west if north of Everett) 25-40 MPH with occasional gusts of 50-55 MPH at times throughout the night. #wawx

A winter storm warning has been issued for all mountain zones of Western Washington in effect from 4 PM this afternoon to 10 PM tomorrow. With wind gusts as high as 65 MPH, both blizzard and avalanche conditions are potentially in the cards for the mountains. #wawx

🚨 ACTIVE WEATHER CONTINUES 🚨 ➡️ WIND: Western WA gusts 45-55 mph, strongest coast & Everett north, Eastern WA gusts 55-70 mph, major problems possible ➡️ RAIN: Expect 1.5-3" lowlands/3-5" coast thru weekend ➡️ SNOW: It's back! Multiple feet for mountains by weekend #wawx

🚨🚨FLASH FLOOD WARNING🚨🚨 A TEMPORARY FLOOD WALL HAS BROKEN IN THE CITY OF PACIFIC. EVACUATIONS ARE IN EFFECT. FOLLOW ALL OFFICIAL ORDERS, SEE PHOTOS FOR DETAILS OF AFFECTED AREA. #wawx

This is incredible -- if the claims are true that the Skagit crest height was reduced by 4-5 ft (consistent with some forecasts), this emergency measure may have saved hundreds of millions in damage to Mt. Vernon and other towns along the Skagit river.

Near zero visibility here on the waterfront in Seattle #wawx

Hard to overstate how concerning this is. There are over 46,000 people, a school, and a hospital in the flash flood warning area. Washington communities have been bracing for levee failures as another round of atmospheric rivers arrives to full rivers and saturated soils.

A flash flood warning has been issued for a levee failure on the Green River near Tukwila Evacuation info: This is for residents and businesses east of the Green River in the Orillia area in Tukwila, Renton and Kent. Due to breach in the Desimone Levee, this area is under a GO NOW evacuation notice

🚨🚨FLASH FLOOD WARNING🚨🚨 GREEN RIVER LEVEE HAS FAILED IN TUKWILA. FLASH FLOODING POSSIBLE FOR KENT, TUKWILA, AND RENTON THROUGH TONIGHT. FOLLOW ALL OFFICIAL ORDERS. #wawx

Blustery might be an understatement. We just had a 49mph gust.

Two lanes of I-90 EB are closed near North Bend at MP 36 due to a slide. From WSP on X: “This is the hillside EB 90 near milepost 36. The right two lanes are closed for safety. Professionals on the way to assess the hillside. Use caution through the area.” #wawx #snoqualmiepass

⚠️⚠️ High Wind Watch issued: ➡️ 7 PM Tuesday to 10 AM Wednesday ➡️ SW winds 25-45 mph, gusts 55-65 mph ➡️ Major concerns due to saturated ground NOTE: Not all forecast models show these strong gusts. Please stay tuned as this forecast evolves. #wawx

The White River is roaring at Game Farm Park in Auburn… At the low end of moderate flood stage right now due to huge releases from the Mud Mountain Dam. #wawx

Drone video of the ongoing flooding on SR-167 in Kent, just north of the S 277th St exit. Filmed 11 AM Sunday. #wawx

Duvall is open for business McCormick Park not so much.
