We have the strongest storms

Storms in the NW are just as violent as the famed "Nor'Easters", and they both spend plenty of time over water. See?

Events that start at 7 PM

Tonight on KIRO TV (channel 7) at 7 PM: a show about La Nina and the new coastal radar.

Wednesday night at 7 PM: American Meteorological Society meeting on where the oil in the Gulf went. Location: NOAA Sand Point (7600 Sand Point Way).

Yesterday, the rainshadow was centered over Seattle because the usual SSW winds changed to WSW.

Catch-up post

Friday Earmarks = coastal radar (so vote for Murray)
Saturday Strong winds and big waves, but not in the city (especially the waves). Rain everywhere
Sunday See "Saturday"

Typhoon Megi

Typhoon Megi might get close to us, bringing 55 knot winds offshore. But maybe not.

Inversion

A temperature inversion is when it gets warmer the higher up you go. We had one yesterday. They're caused by clear skys during the night, which allows the surface of the earth to cool down.

Weather report

A few more days of sun and warmth, then a major shift to stormy and wet weather this weekend.

Foggy

It's fig season.

Rain

We got a lot of it.
