Philadelphia has hijacked Seattle's weather.

The coulds WILL NOT go away. I'm starting to forget what a clear blue sky looks like. The sun will peek out for a little while and then gray clouds take over again. It rains just a little here in the city and then stops but the clouds keep coming. It's been like this for what seems like a couple weeks now. How's the weather in the Pacific Northwest right now?

1. From NOAA,,,

We've actually had quite a dry spring, but the past 3 days have been quite wet - which we needed otherwise we'd be in a drought by August.

2. It's crappy

It has been raining all week. We had record rainfall and two tornados yesterday. (Tornados are really uncommon here). Right now, it's partly cloudy, but pretty chilly. I'd say it's in the lower 50's right now. At least it isn't raining.

3. Tornadoes??? Where is "here"?

Are you in the Seattle area? I didn't know that tornadoes EVER happened up there.

5. Tornadoes can occur pretty much anywhere

but they're very uncommon in the Pacific NW. They tend to be very small and very quickly over when they do happen (and they happen more in eastern Washington than on the west side of the Cascades - we don't have the flat land you need to build up the proper conditions).

6. I live in Kitsap Co, but the tornado was near Tenino

No tornadoes in Seattle yesterday. :) I was using "here" in the larger sense. Although I sort of remember not too long ago that someone spotted a funnel cloud over Hood Canal. I'm not sure.

7. They didn't used to!

I never heard of a tornado in the Pacific Northwest until about a couple years ago. The actual tornado was about 15 miles south of here yesterday, but the weather here (Olympia) was nasty enough. Thunder, lightning, and a rainstorm that would have been more appropriate in mid November than late May.

And this is after a couple 80 degree days in April. Overall it's been a Spring for the record books.

4. Rainy and cold

I actually lit a fire in the woodstove last night. I'm not turning the furnace on in late May, I refuse!

My husband's got work piled up through the end of June, and he can't do it, because of the damn weather (he's a carpenter). We had a yard sale for the chorus I sing with last weekend, and Saturday was HORRIBLE - cold and pouring rain - and then it was 80 degrees and sunny on Sunday. Go figure - Seattle weather in spring is pretty much potpourri.

8. Sunshine is one day away

I was thinking the same thing here in Indiana, but after tornados yesterday, it's beautiful here today -- 70 deg and sunny.

9. Same in New York

We've had torrential downpours here in the past few days from massive thunderstorms.

The water level in my swimming pool has risen about two inches in the past two days.
It would be nice to see some sun again.

11. We aren't even getting the thunderstorms...

...at least not right here in the city. It's as though the weather is taunting us. I never know if I should carry and umbrella or not. The clouds with look very dark and threatening, spits out a few drops, break up and let the sun through a bit and then come back full force again. I don't know what the hell is going on.
