Glad to see that these international observations are still being shown and reported…even if a bit harder to find versus having them on current observations as it was before.
Not only does switching this map's layer from "Current" to "Historical" (weather.gov/wrh/hazards) include Canadian station data - up through this evening, even - but other NWS websites, like the ones below, have and continue to provide observations outside of the US.

Donald Trump is so petty that his administration has removed Canadian observations from the @NWS map. This is what happens when the president has an ego of a toddler. Anyone care to explain how this is helpful at all? I’ll wait…

Comments off, see latest update: xitter.cf/MatthewPfab/status/211…
Update...it's not just Canada 🤦‍♂️ As a cost-cutting measure, @NWS has removed ALL international observations (outside of US buoys) from its site. A shame that such a simple and helpful tool had to be removed due to the Trump administration's anti-science budget cuts.

With NWS discontinuing the availability of observation maps outside the US, a reminder that the @westernuNMP is available at weather.cssl.ca — I just hope they can fix the outlined font as it’s hard to read! @ConnellMiller

It's mid-October and the true rainy season has yet to arrive for the Pacific Northwest...
You might have noticed that the rainy season is off to a slow start. In 81 years of records, it's Seattle's (Sea-Tac) 8th driest start for October thus far. If we stay dry through Wednesday as expected, we'll climb to 3rd. #wawx

With a max of 77° yesterday, we tied 2022 for the latest calendar day with a high temp at or above 75° at Sea-Tac. Oct 16th 2022 was freakishly warm at 88°. Odds of reaching 70° again are slim with around a 2% or less chance for any given day through end of October. #wawx
