A look at the 1000 millibar low off the coast just past its baroclinic leaf phase. This will give us minimal wind impacts in the Puget Sound. Likely breezy at times tomorrow. #wawx

It could be a bit windy around the area Wednesday night or Thursday morning in time for some Thanksgiving travel. Several models in semi-decent agreement on position, timing, and strength of a surface low offshore. #wawx

There are days like today where the models completely bomb the forecast. Virtually no wind gusts south of SeaTac where models showed 20-30 MPH at times. #wawx

Light shower activity north of the Puget Sound this morning. As night falls, the activity will begin to spread along the coast and make its way inland in time for sunrise. Still looks breezy but nothing to run home about. #wawx

The new 00z NAM 3 km model takes a chunk off of the max wind gusts around Western Washington Sunday morning. Still looking like 30-35 MPH wind gusts south of Seattle followed by a westerly surge for Whidbey Island. However, no longer showing 40 MPH for isolated areas. #wawx

This morning's run of the high-res NAM model shows a blustery day on tap for Western Washington on Sunday. Just a heads up, if you have Christmas decorations set up, this should be the first official wind test. #wawx

Another lull in the active weather pattern over the Pacific Northwest coming up this week. A transient ridge turns into a strong ridge on Wednesday. Fog potential is there too. #wawx

It currently looks like we'll forfeit our windstorm chance tomorrow into Friday. Southern Oregon takes it instead! It could get quite breezy with some passing fronts going into this weekend around here. #wawx

First run of the NAM 3 km that's somewhat in range of Thursday. Maybe Oregon/California will get the storm and WA misses out? Looking like that in this solution. #wawx

Something to keep eyes on Thursday afternoon. A potential mid-latitude cyclone making landfall somewhere along the WA coast. There's still lots of details to iron out, so this is a baseline for now. #wawx

Could be a toasty one out there by autumn standards today by game time. The National Blend of Models shows several spots, especially closer to those east wind gaps, hitting or exceeding 60 degrees today. #wawx

Some spots of east King county could see those pesky easterly winds return overnight. The 00z Euro shows up to 44 MPH gusts in mainly remote areas, but 36-42 MPH for some populated areas. #wawx

Strong rotation signature showing up off the coast after a tornado warning in Pacific county earlier. Waterspout potential with this one. #wawx

Wind advisory goes into effect at 9 AM for most of Western Washington tomorrow. Different areas have advisories running for different durations, so be aware of that. The last of the advisories should be allowed to expire by 8 PM tomorrow afternoon. Southwest wind gusts up to 45 MPH possible! #wawx

This morning's 12z HRRR run is not what a lot of people want to see. A huge uptrend on this model since last night. This would be the ceiling for wind gusts if the *sneaker* storm off the coast deepens a bit and takes a more favorable path. #wawx

The probability exists for a low-end quick-hitting wind event around Western Washington early Saturday morning. The newest ECMWF says "game on" while the new NAM 3 km pulls it down into Oregon. Let's see what these models say in 24 hours. Live stream coming tonight. #wawx

Some stronger showers out there this afternoon producing small hail. This one over Kent has some weak low-level rotation with it as it moves towards the foothills. Slim chance of a funnel cloud report. #wawx
