Autumn leaves in downtown Tacoma. ๐#wawx #leaves
A stellar view of high clouds ahead of an incoming weak cold front this morning. I spy some smoke from the Garda Falls Fire in Mount Rainier National Park.๐#wawx
Quite an anomalous (and sunny ๐) day for Western WA today! Expect highs in the upper 60s to mid 70s near the water, and in the mid to upper 70s away from the water. These temperatures are 15-20ยบ above normal, as seen in the anomaly map! Last 70ยบ+ of the year?! #wawx
One more warm, dry day today, then a front brings rain and cooler air Saturday. Sunday is dry but cold, with frost possible. More rain early next week stays mostly on the coast. #Weather #WAWX #SeattleWX
One more nice day tomorrow, then we flip back to Fall this weekend. Wind gusts, high temps, and a full write-up in the replies! #wawx
Starting to see a little wind in the King County foothills. About on par with what the European model showed. Looks like another win for the Euro. #wawx
Washington's second-largest wildfire of 2026, the Sinlahekin in Okanogan County, has been 100% contained at 166,007 acres! #wawx #wildfire #sinlahekin
Ten years ago today, the Ides of October would go down in forecast infamy. The historic windstorm that never came to fruition. Remember the fiasco? #wawx
So far, those east winds aren't nearly as potent as forecast. Could it be a bust? Is the weather station coverage too lackluster? Is it too early? All great questions that will be answered in less than 24 hours. #wawx
Misty morning and subtle autumn colors. #wawx
Drop! Cover! Hold on! This is only a drill! The Great Washington ShakeOut is now underway as of 10:15 AM. Repeat. This is a test. #wawx #greatshakeout #earthquakedrill
Mini Heat Wave Then Weekend Temperature Crash

Visibility is down to a quarter mile for a sizable portion of the I-5 corridor as of 6 AM. A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until 9 AM for the Sound from Skagit to Lewis counties. Please drive with low beams. #wawx
Dry and warm through Friday, with lower 70s today and mid 70s inland Friday. Cooler rain comes Saturday, mostly the morning, then Sunday stays cool and Monday turns wet again. Enjoy the last two easy days. #Weather #WAWX #SeattleWX
