Today’s a classic sunbreak and shower type of day. The more sunbreaks we get the higher chance we have of seeing some lightning & thunder, and maybe some small hail too as the atmosphere destabilizes. The satellite loop does a good job of showing these showers developing. Notice the puffy like clouds around the region. Click on the link below to view the most recent satellite loop.

Rest of the week

• Wednesday: A slightly sunnier, warmer, and drier version of today with a small threat of an isolated afternoon shower or thundershower. Thunderstorms likely up in the Cascades.
• Thursday is looking dry.
• Friday’s still on track to be a fairly wet day with periods rain across the entire area.
• I’m keeping an eye on the forecast for this weekend as we will be right on the edge of a very moist storm system. Keep an eye out for an update tomorrow.

Happy Tuesday!
