Finally Some Clearing... And More On The Weekend Warm-Up

Things sure have been nasty out there lately. If you are from the Pacific Northwest you are probably feeling right at home - but most people, like myself, are looking for some warmer weather and some more sunshine.


It is coming! That is the good news. Watch this movie below, showing our Futurecast model through Saturday:



You can see that nice clearing by the end of the movie. The next big question is about the temperatures. Cody talked a bit about the 850mb temperatures, which are one of our big gauges of just how warm things could possibly become. You should definitely read his post, and also check out this image below of just how warm some of the other computer models are looking for things to get as we head toward Sunday and Monday:

See those 60s and 70s to the West? They'll be headed at least close to us. Don't get too excited about these temperatures just yet - because right now they seem very optimistic. Upper 50s to lower 60s in our viewing area do seem likely, however. That will be a good change from what we've seen lately!
