Another couple nights of fog Tues into Thursday morning… possibly freezing fog and rime - followed by sunshine and cooler temps - please be careful driving in the early AM. Ice has been an issue past couple days and will be more so tomorrow and Wednesday mornings. Slow is pro, especially in those shady spots off the highway!

Thursday we break out of the current pattern and see a decaying front, followed by a series of potent Pacific storms.

Generally we’ll be rain-shadowed here on the Southend up to Coupeville (compared to elsewhere in western WA) – still we’re looking at a 10-day total of about 3 inches of rain, all of that falling after Thursday.

Will update on winds.

Looking like a classic “Pineapple Express” setting up for the end of the extended, I’ll revise this forecast over the coming days as this atmospheric river takes shape.

Hopefully we can start a proper winter season in the cascades, I know it’s been low tide up there in regards to snow.

That should be changing, but the AR could also complicate things with higher snow levels. To be determined…
