Bingo Kurt! Beck's been caught spraying on the climbers board again...

Don't believe everything you READ guys. Often, the up-to-the-minute observations of a weather observer are more important than a numerical forecast based on models from earlier in the day. This is especially true here in the PNW. In this regard, Beck may not be incorrect. Corroborating what he is saying with the images obtained here, my guess is that there will be some minor disturbances brushing the area tonight and tomorrow. These will subside by the weekend. A light shower here or there in the foothills or on the west sid of the Cascades and Olympics crest could happen. Never count anything out in the Puget Sound.

 

Blah blah blah blah.....

and, looking at the clouds two hours later, and seeing a NOAA forecast, i'd say,not this weekend! maybe in a couple of weeks... pow.

I'd say I'm not trusting my life to any weather predicting Beck makes in the field.

don't worry, I'm not a meterologist, didn't consult a barometer or isobar graphs,

 

I'm a boozy newspaperman looking out his office window-and i like it it the middle of blizzards, personally, so the fouler the better as far as I'm concerned- howl, mama nature, lets see you roar (just not today)
