Happy Tornado Warning Anniversary, NWS Seattle?

The Apple Cup may be a relic of Thanksgiving holidays past, but one tradition remains staunchly entrenched around the Northwest: Messy weather that can snarl your travel plans. Details: emeraldcityweather.com/thanksgiving... #wawx

😅Juuuust squeezed in the dry day. It started raining at 1:14 a.m. this morning.

Welcome to what is statistically the likeliest rainy day of the year in Seattle. Forecast: Partly sunny (ish). But the rare dry Nov. 19 (95 of past 130 yrs have featured rain) comes with other features this year: Foothills winds and some stubborn fog. emeraldcityweather.com/seattle-fog-... #wawx

You might think getting a dry day in Seattle in November isn’t *too* unusual. Even with the wet start to the month, 7 days have been without measurable rain. But getting a dry November 19th as we're set to do this year? Now that’s something. Why? -> emeraldcityweather.com/historically... #wawx

Seattle weather a bit sleepy for now, but if you’ve got popcorn ready to pop and are looking for some exciting weather to chase, maybe keep an eye on Thanksgiving weekend, which isn’t really up to 😮 Emoji status just yet, but would qualify as 🧐. emeraldcityweather.com/seattle-weat... #wawx

Siri is like: It's November in the Northwest, there is no other option 😂😂

Cool satellite videos from Friday illustrate how both high pressure and low pressure centers swirl in opposite directions: emeraldcityweather.com/watch-atmosp...

NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center put out a graphic Friday that indicates what I’d say is an unusually early heads up of a potential “significant” weather pattern change. 🥶 Read what it might mean for the Northwest: emeraldcityweather.com/noaa-cpc-col... #wawx

Those who regularly peruse weather maps may see one for Friday from NOAA’s Weather Prediction Center that paints a large swath of Western Washington in a green shade for “Excessive Rainfall.” EC Weather Blog explains what's up: emeraldcityweather.com/excessive-ra... #wawx

Thundersnow in Downtown #Chicago captured by the Chicago Loop Live webcam! This was the first one around 12:23 am. There were two lightning flashes afterwards each spaced roughly 10 mins apart #ilwx ❄️⚡️

Heh snuck some Seatlleites onto your video board there Vancouver 😈 (Yes my daughter is a huge and legit Canucks fan tho. )

Vancouver Canucks doing starting lineups tonight to U2’s “Where the Streets Have No Name” which after trying to drive around Downtown Vancouver this weekend, it sure feels apropos. 🤪

How is it that Tim Hortons has stores in Texas, Georgia and Indiana but nowhere to be found in the Seattle area where Canadians are plentiful? Starbucks Mafia that intimidating? They’re really not quite an overlap.

Totally dry November weekends bat about .195 in Seattle. But Mother Nature's about to come through the clutch: emeraldcityweather.com/a-dry-novemb... #wawx

Seattle about to take another punch

Just spotted a waterspout and tornado crossing into Cape Disappointment State Park, WA!! #wawx

Well that is an equal opportunity line of storms. Covers the entire Puget Sound area. Even some lightning tossed in there.

Not often you see a Severe Thunderstorm Warning on the Oregon Coast with a “Considerable Damage” threat tag 😳

The Pacific Northwest is staring down back-to-back storms coming in a quick 1-2 punch this week, promising flooding for some areas, strong winds for others — but probably also confused shrugs for, oh, just a few million in #Seattle. DETAILS: emeraldcityweather.com/coastal-floo... #wawx

The West Coast may be getting a forecast assist from Air Force Hurricane Hunters -- fresh off their harrowing forays into Category 5 Hurricane Melissa in the Caribbean -- to investigate budding atmospheric river storms this week: emeraldcityweather.com/west-coast-m...

Heh: Kicking off the NWS Seattle forecast discussion today: "Welcome to the big dark."😂

I live with a die hard Dodgers fan since birth but oh my all the feels for Blue Jays fans. Kindred spirits

Pretty sure this game is virtual reality. 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

The forecast for Saturday has bumped up in the wind department and now Wind Advisories are in effect for Seattle and the Puget Sound area for gusts to 45-50 mph in the heart of the day. MORE: emeraldcityweather.com/hello-novemb... #wawind #wawx

Welp- hope you have that GoreTex Dragon costume ready.

Got your Halloween costume picked out? Mother Nature sure does. She’s going door-to-door around the Pacific Northwest dressed as an atmospheric river. Definitely going with more trick than treat this year… emeraldcityweather.com/no-treat-atm... #wawx
