FIVE
FIVE AND
FIVE AND WE'LL SEND YOU THE LATEST LINK TO THE LATEST INFORMATION.
SPRING IS OFFICIALLY HERE AND
THE SEASON CAN BE WARM ONE DAY
IN CHILE THE NEXT KIND OF LIKE
TOMORROW WE HAVE A TREND TO
SHOW YOU FROM AVERAGING OUT
TEMPERATURES OVER THE SPRING.
AND HERE'S HOW SPRING WARMING
IMPACTS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
AFTER A FEBRUARY FREEZE WITH
SNOW AND ICE A SPRING WARM UP
WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR 60 IS A
WELCOME CHANGE RATE.
WELL, MAYBE NOT.
SPRING WARMING IS AN ANNUAL
PART OF OUR NORMAL SEASONAL
WEATHER CYCLE.
SOME YEARS IT'S SLOW AND SOME
YEARS IT'S QUICK.
BUT EVERY YEAR THE RENEWAL
OF SPRING BRINGS A DIFFERENT
IMPRINT.
ALL THE WARM UPS AND THE COOL
DOWNS AVERAGED OUT SHOW A TREND
WHAT THE START OF SPRING.
LET'S LOOK AT HOW TEMPERATURES
HAVE WARMED UP OVER THE LAST
FIFTY YEARS SINCE 1970 AND TWO
HUNDRED AND FORTY THREE CITIES
ROUGHLY HALF HAVE HAD THEIR
AVERAGE SPRING TEMPERATURES
WARM BY TWO DEGREES FAHRENHEIT
OR MORE.
SEATTLE IS NOW EXPERIENCING TWO
POINT TWO DEGREES WARMER THAN
NORMAL AVERAGE SPRING
TEMPERATURE.
NEARLY ALL CITIES FELT MORE
SPRING DAYS WITH ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES WITH SEATTLE NOW
EXPERIENCING SIXTEEN MORE DAYS
OF SPRING ABOVE NORMAL.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS TREND
CONTINUES WITH EXTRA SPRING
DAYS AND WARMTH WE SEE
INCREASED AVALANCHE DANGER,
RAPID RAINFALL AND MELTING SNOW
IN THE MOUNTAINS WOULD INCREASE
FLOOD EVENTS.
BEARS COME OUT OF HIBERNATION
EARLY.
THERE'S A LONGER SEASON FOR
MOSQUITOES AND A LONGER ALLERGY
SEASON.
LARGE TEMPERATURE SWINGS COULD
INCREASE BLOWING DUST FOR
CENTRAL WASHINGTON WHICH COULD
SPARK AN EARLIER START
OF WILDFIRE SEASON.
AND WE'RE NOT GOING INTO
WILDFIRE SEASON BUT WE ARE
DEFINITELY GOING INTO SPRING
STORM DAY FOR THE DAY TOMORROW
ALREADY WE'RE SEEING CLOUDS ON
THE INCREASE FURTHER NORTH
AROUND THE NORTHERN KITSAP
PENINSULA.
THIS IS HAYNESVILLE AND YOU CAN
SEE THE CLOUD COVER IT SEEMS TO
BE GETTING A LITTLE BIT MORE
DIM AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE'VE
CAPTURED A HAWK DEAD CENTER
FLYING TOWARD THE TREE.
THAT'S REALLY NEAT.
IT'S A LIVE CAM STREAMING CAM
FROM SKUNK BAY WEATHER DOTCOM
IF YOU WANT TO CHECK THAT OUT.
GREAT WEATHER CONDITIONS TO
FOLLOW THERE AS WELL.
SPEAKING OF WEATHER CONDITIONS,
OLYMPIADA SCHOOL NET STATION IS
SHOWING THOSE MABTON CLOUDS UP
HIGH THE AALTO CUMULUS THAT
TYPICALLY COMES IN AHEAD OF A
STORM.
WE'RE GETTING THESE KINDS
OF CLOUDS RIGHT NOW AT OLYMPIA
AND WE'RE WATCHING THINGS JUST
GET MORE AND MORE HAZY FROM MT.
RAINIER IN THE BACKGROUND 54
DEGREES AND CLOUDY FOR SEATTLE
WIND OUT OF THE SOUTH NINE
MILES AN HOUR AND THE PRESSURE
IT IS FALLING TEMPERATURES
RIGHT NOW ARE FIFTY THREE
DEGREES FOR SEATTLE AND 51 IN
TACOMA JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE
MILD FOR CHARLOTTE AT FIFTY
NINE DEGREES BUT WE ARE ALL
GOING TO COOL OFF FAST TOMORROW
EXPECT
EXPECT RAIN TO HIT THE NORTH COAST AND UP TO THE NORTH OF TERIA FOR WHAT SCATTERED
COUNTIES AROUND 8:00 A.M.
TOMORROW AS IT MOVES INLAND TO
BE A LITTLE CLOSER TO NOON THAT
WILL ALL HAVE THIS ROUND
OF STEADY RAIN MODERATELY HEAVY
IN SOME SPOTS IT MOVES THROUGH
FAST AND WE'RE LEFT WITH
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
CONVERGENT ZONES WHICH YOU CAN
SEE BY THAT BAND THAT MOVES
FROM PORT ANGELES ALL THE WAY
ACROSS THE STRAIGHT OF JUAN DE
FUCA AND INTO THE MOUNTAINS
NORTH OF EVERETT BUT ALSO ONE
AROUND SEATTLE EASTWARD.
THAT IS ANOTHER TYPE OF A
CONVERGENCE ZONE THAT'S MORE
INTENSE AND THIS ALSO INDICATES
TO US WHERE WE'RE GOING TO GET
THE HEAVIER SNOW IN THE
MOUNTAINS BUT THE WIND WILL BE
THE FIRST THING WE NOTICE NOW
EXPECT AROUND 9:00 FOR THE WIND
TO PICK UP ON THE COAST AND
AROUND THE NORTH INTERIOR FOR
THE SAN JUAN AND FOR WALKING
AND SKAGIT COUNTIES.
BUT PUGET SOUND ARE SEVRAL
WINDS WILL BEGIN TO SURGE UP
THE SOUND TWENTY FIVE TO THIRTY
FIVE MILES AN HOUR GUSTING TO
45 MILES AN HOUR STARTING
AROUND NOON AND THAT GOES UNTIL
6:00 P.M. NOW THE WIND ADVISORY
CHANGES AS WE GET TO 1:00 P.M.
BECAUSE THE WIND WILL CHANGE TO
WESTERLY AND ONCE IT CHANGES TO
WESTERLY IT SLAMS DOWN THE
STRAIT OF ONE TO AND BOY
WHIDBEY ISLAND IS REALLY GOING
TO TAKE THE BRUNT OF THOSE
WESTERLY WIND GUSTS UP TO 50
MILES AN HOUR.
SO WE'RE TRACKING THIS STORM
INITIALLY WE'RE SEEING A LITTLE
LIGHT SPRINKLES ON VANCOUVER
ISLAND.
WE'RE JUST BEGINNING TO SEE
SIGNS OF RAIN.
TWO HUNDRED MILES OFFSHORE FROM
THE COASTAL DOPPLER RADAR AND
TOMORROW WILL HAVE THE WIND
RAIN MOUNTAIN SNOW.
THEN THE RISK OF A THUNDERSTORM
TOO IS THE COLD AIR COMES IN.
SO TOMORROW MORNING EIGHT A.M.
TO 5:00 WE HAVE MONDAY WE'RE
GOING TO GET A LOT OF NEW SNOW
IN THE MOUNTAINS AND THE SNOW
LEVEL TOMORROW WILL BE FALLING
IN GENERAL.
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED FEET WILL
BE THE SNOW LEVEL AND WE'LL GET
TO 27 INCHES FROM THE
CONVERGENCE ZONE OVER STEVENS
PARTS.
YOU SEE THE CONVERGENCE ZONE IN
GREEN INDICATING TOO.
THAT'S WHERE WE COULD SEE SOME
WET SNOW COMING DOWN TO THE
SURFACE.
NO REAL ACCUMULATION BUT IT
CERTAINLY WILL KEEP IT
INTERESTING THROUGH THE DAY
TOMORROW.
SO TONIGHT LOW TO MID 40S FOR
YOUR LOWS.
WINDY RAIN SHOWERS TOMORROW
THAT SLIGHT RISK OF A
THUNDERSTORM IN THE AFTERNOON
AND MOST OF YOU WILL HAVE HIGHS
IN THE UPPER 40S TO AROUND
FIFTY.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE A STORMY
DAY AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO GET
A LITTLE QUIET TO ENJOY SOME
SPRING WEATHER.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME CHILLY
NIGHTS THOUGH AS WE GO FORWARD
IN TIME THURSDAY.
IT LOOKS, SEBASTIAN, LIKE WE
MIGHT HAVE A MORNING SHOWER BUT
OPENING
