This is the Forecast Discussion from KSEA / Seattle WA NWS at Monday 01/06/2025 06:09:55 PST
SHORT TERM, today Monday into mid-week:
The main story for the next week is pretty benign weather for January in Western Washington.
Satellite imagery early this morning shows cloudy skies over most of the lowlands with mostly clear skies over the mountains.
Increasing northerly winds have dissipated some of the fog with a few places, like Bellingham and Everett still reporting a mile or less visibility.
Temperatures were mostly in the mid 40s.
Upper level ridge offshore building into Western Washington today.
The forecast problem for the day is how long the low clouds hang around in the lowlands.
Early morning top reports from aircraft flying into Seattle-Tacoma airport have the tops 2000-2500 msl and the cloud layer 1000-1500 feet thick. KOLM-KBLI gradient below -2 mb and will stay that way this morning so expect what is left of the fog to dissipate by mid morning.
The cloud cover is another matter. Subsidence from the upper level ridge building into the area will help compress the low level moisture layer but model soundings show light winds above the surface and the inversion not breaking until this afternoon.
1500 feet of moisture will take a little time to dissipate under these conditions.
Will word the forecast cloudy in the morning becoming sunny in the afternoon for most of the lowlands. It will be a sunny day in the higher elevations.
Highs today in the mid 40s to lower 50s.

If you look right now, looks like westbound down to Issaquah, Bellevue and Seattle may be shut down
Yeah and nobody's getting past the eastbound chain-up stop down at Denny Creek
Whee...

This is the Forecast Discussion from KSEA / Seattle WA NWS at Monday 12/23/2024 04:24:19 PST
SHORT TERM: Today will feature a somewhat longer reprieve from more active weather, with the next front arriving tonight into Tuesday morning. Right now, scattered showers linger along the Olympic Peninsula and in the Cascades.
This will largely taper off into the late morning hours. Expect partly cloudy conditions with a high in the low 50s today.
Going forward into Tuesday, the next storm will arrive and bring another round of rain and stronger winds. Wind direction will be out of the east to southeast for much of Tuesday morning before transitioning to southerly as the frontal system gets nearer to the coast.
Cascade gaps, northern Olympic Peninsula and immediate coastal locations will see the strongest winds. Right now, the forecast calls for gusts in these locations to be between 35 and 40 mph through late Monday night into early Tuesday morning.

This is the Forecast Discussion from KSEA / Seattle WA NWS at Saturday 12/14/2024 06:26:05 PST
SHORT TERM: Good morning, western WA.
Active weather will persist throughout the day as a stout disturbance churns offshore. An upper-trough is lifting northeastward along with its associated 977 mb surface low about 125nm WSW of La Push. It'll continue before filling over Vancouver Island and SW BC this afternoon. With it, widespread rain, mountain snow, gusty winds and high surf/Coastal Flooding will be an issue.

This is the Forecast Discussion from KSEA / Seattle WA NWS at Thursday 12/12/2024 06:01:41 PST
SHORT TERM, TODAY THROUGH SATURDAY: Current satellite shows a low pressure system spinning off the Oregon Coast bringing some high clouds into the region. This may help mitigate the fog in some areas and improve the visibility.
Radar imagery also shows light showers starting to move into the region from the south. The low pressure system is expected to move southward towards Northern California, thus keeping the majority of the moisture centered to that area.
As a result, rainfall amounts are expected to be light with this system on Thursday. Snow levels at the passes with this system are expected to be between 2500 to 3500 ft. Some light snow accumulation is possible, around 1 to 2 inches.

This is the Forecast Discussion from KSEA / Seattle WA NWS at Tuesday 12/10/2024 06:52:05 PST
Short term, today through Thursday: High pressure will settle directly over the region today.
With this, conditions have dried out but with clear skies sufficient cooling has taken place. We'll start the day with widespread low to mid 30s with some locations even falling into the mid to upper 20s such as Enumclaw, Arlington, etc.
Along with cool temps, areas of fog has developed across Puget Sound and the southwest interior. A Dense Fog Advisory has been issued for Thurston and Lewis County lowlands and could be expanded as we progress throughout the morning.
Can't rule out patchy freezing fog as well, possibly resulting in black ice where moisture remains prevalent on surfaces

Well, this is lovely
In case you hadn't noticed yet (lucky you) there's been a new "feature" rolled out on @Mastodon dot Social -- brand name #Wrapstodon -- that creates a bright-and-shiny summary of your past year on #Mastodon
Think: video game streaming platform #Twitch and its "Twitch Year in Review"
Here's what Renchap has just posted about Wrapstodon on #Github:
"What is this notification type, and will it ever recur? [Wrapstodon] # 33152 Bug"
"This notification type is specific to Wrapstodon, and will happen every year when an admin generate the statistics (which currently require some custom console code)"
"It is not documented. The feature is not finished, but it has been decided to enable it on mastodon.social as it wont be fully finished before the end of the year, and this feature is mostly useful in december"
So
Wrapstodon has been early-released, is not documented, and yet somehow "At the moment, clients should ignore it (and we recommend that client ignore unknown notification types by default..."
All I can say about it is that it's eye candy and makes it very easy to pick out people who I'd want to #Mute and #Block anyway...

Live-stream California weather anecdote:
Atascadero CA just (Monday 11/25/2024 10:06:49 PST) now as a very bright squall band rolls through north of KVBX
Had an mPing "Rain" drop right about where this camera is, on Twitch
Here: https://www.twitch.tv/californiabirbs
Usually a very cool birds/wildlife stream
About four camera angles, so hard to describe which way it's facing at any moment. This looks mostly to be south/southeast

"SYNOPSIS: Large upper level low off the #WA coast through the weekend. No organized fronts spinning out of the low the next two days but the cool and somewhat unstable air mass over the area will keep showers in the forecast. Thunderstorms possible along the coast today. Next front arriving Friday. Unsettled weather continuing through the weekend into the first part of next week"

I still have #Bluesky (and #Threads) filtered out of my feeds
That said, I've been opening the filtered posts through "Show anyway" and I keep reading to see what the current thinking is
What no one seems to ever mention to the #BlueskyCurious is that Bluesky is Just Another Web Site
Find a valid URL and open it in a web browser and wander around and see if --> you <-- can find whatever is missing from your life here on #Mastodon
I have, twice, for about 45 minutes on two different days
Bluesky is bland, boring, and just like early #Twitter
Here. Have a go. Wander around. You can't Reply or Like, but you can go anywhere you want
See if --> you <-- can find what's missing in your little life

Interesting goings-on in the [ #Snarfed / #Bridgyfed ] #Github:
"Switch #Bluesky to opt out? (Issue #1471)"
This, from Peter Cottle (pcottle - Code monkey on Threads 🐵) who is actually a #Threads dev
"@snarfed thoughts on making a post on bluesky to solicit opinions? Maybe posting from the bridgy fed account + soliciting reposts?
I just want to know what the wider community thinks (even if there is some selection bias)"
The gist of the convo is whether to make Bluesky users opt-out of being bridged over to Mastodon, or continue as opt-in (each user makes their own personal choice)
In other words, will (new) Bluesky accounts automatically be OPTED-IN to being bridged over to Mastodon (possibly without their knowledge) or continue as OPT-IN: requiring a specific decision/action by new users

So about every other Home feed post is about #Bluesky which I have filtered out
"Show anyway"
OK, show me
Damn, man, if y'all are so hot for Bluesky why are you wasting your time here on #Mastodon?
Trying to pull people along with you to validate your own choice?
One thing about Bluesky that I've never understood is that it's only a web site
Given a web browser and a valid URL and you can go poke around to your heart's content and see if you can find what it is that's missing in your life
I spent about 30 minutes yesterday doing exactly this and came up empty
OK: you can't reply or 'like' or whatever they call it over there, but wander around and see if you can find what you're lacking in your life
