Puget Sound weather in a nutshell

Seattle
Joined April 2009
Six of Seattle’s top-10 driest Octobers were during El Niño years. Five of the six were followed by snowless winters (1991, 1952, 1969, 1987 & 2002).😢 Oct 1972 (8th-driest) was the exception, with 9.1” of snow falling in the winter of 72-73. Rooting for a ‘72 outcome! 🙏

10 years ago was Seattle’s wettest October on record. 10 years later, and this could be our driest October on record. Just 0.08” at Sea-Tac so far. Record driest October is 0.31” from 1987.

One of the more fascinating aspects of this climate is that it’s almost always sunny on October 6. This year is no different.

Interestingly, several recent El Niño Septembers (2004, 2015 & 2002) also had cool-ish Septembers. The following winters were all warm and snowless. 😢

Nice early-fall blow in Western Washington today! 💨 Seattle gusted to 38 mph—nothing too crazy, but pretty decent for September. Olympia (south of the track of the storm center) hit 54 mph!

Love you, Nebraska, but … cry me a river! 🤣
15 days in a row and counting! 🙀🌧️ Omaha’s current wet streak is now tied for the 3rd longest on record and the longest stretch since 1960. Are you ready for a dry spell, or is the streak staying alive? Track the weekend rain chances: weather.gov/omaha #NEwx #IAwx
