Pacific NW Powerful Storms

[@rebeccawillows-s2z]

I am in North Eugene and on Wednesday about 6 PM had the most extraordinary thing happen! The last lightning made sparks in my house in my house! sparks in the middle of the air! mid air right there in front of me!!! it made a noise that noise that it makes when you short circuit something! not an electrical outlet nothing shorted out my hair didn't raise up. And it was just like a sparkler went off and And a few seconds disappeared!

[@PacificNorthwestWeather]

wonder if it hit a powerline

[@AC_Cool_]

[@NatureDerek]

Snoqualmie Pass is seeing snow, you can see it on the ground at the summit on the WSDOT cameras and on the ski area cameras.

[@PacificNorthwestWeather]

Bare and wet on the pavement, but makes a nice scene on the side of the roads for sure

[@chrisjohnson8043]

Central Oregon Coast 45th parallel checking in 🎉

[@stevesporer5434]

[@TerryFraatz-s7v]

Thank you, Michael! Great video! Active weather giving us much needed rain, and we should all be happy about that! Raining pretty good here in Oly Town, wind was blowing pretty good yesterday also! Wishing everyone a wonderful Friday, stay cool😎keep safe, and will catch ya in the next one!😄

[@Kodiak_Jenkins]

Its been 49ish all day and it started pouring since 10am in Bellingham. Thank you again for the most accurate, fastest and best weather reports in the NW!

[@Cmon-Man]

Great weather report. Much needed rain. It will wash away the algae bloom in the rock beds. Makes my dog happy to be able to be down along the river. (Yes we’re very careful, we are safe!)

[@Oregontrailblazin]

THAT was the LARGEST THUNDER EVER IN COOS BAY !!

[@HeartTurnedToStone]

Still calm at the moment along the bluff between Sequim & Port Angeles. Getting ready to go outside to clean my gutters. Thanx for the heads up on the weather.

[@MsShannruggles]

[@Denise_B17]

Great forecast Michael. Thank you for your hard work.

[@cameronbrewer3966]

RVing in Seaside.. heavy rains but the wind missed us

[@joncomte6443]

Rocko Lexington Wa USA 🇺🇸 windy rain

[@Oregontrailblazin]

If I could afford a station but I can not ...But no my wind / rain in CB between 7 and 10 please lol football and hall of fame induction!! shared!

[@SparkyOne549]

Search tempest weather stations in your browser. Look for a weather station close to you. I found 2 in my location, so I don’t need to buy one lol

[@brendandbarry]

We need a major initiative to educate drivers on driving in storm conditions. Did you see the 45 car pile up on I5 last weekend?

[@DisasterAstor]

I think the most important part of defensive driving that people don’t seem to learn is that the majority of what is standing between you and something like a 45 car pile up is chance. There are a lot of good driving skills that can reduce that chance but there is no threshold for reducing that chance to zero. People who think they know “how to drive in storms” also have accidents.

[@PacificNorthwestWeather]

yes, its no shock with how bad drivers are, not one of those people was using safe following distances

[@patrickrussell1888]

​@@PacificNorthwestWeather, who needs space between cars?!?!? I always remember to keep at least one (big) car length for every ten miles/hr I am traveling. This is a minimum, and like you say, its no guarantee for safety.

[@darlenemc3586]

Studded tires are allowed today. I use siped tires thru snow and ice. I love those tires. Thank you for the update. God Bless!

[@paulsorensen7110]

Thanks Michael!

[@justinanovak8040]

Thank you!

[@carlenaponce9205]

Great reporting! 💦

[@scottcates]

Thank you

[@JeannetteReed]

Everett is, sometimes, in an exceptionally sheltered location, comparatively. The more Michael Snyder's forcast proves close to Spot on, the patterns show up. The Olympic Mts get Dumping Buckets of rain as No.Sound is dry, or even sunny, occasionally. 🎉

[@ubiquitousLeees]

Yay first! Thanks, Michael! Happy Dia de Los Muertos! 🖤

[@dryurimom1169]

November is historically a big month for rain in the PNW. It may be the climatology folks are acknowledging our rain but it may not be enough to get us to average despite seeming like a lot.

[@folee_edge]

YAAAAS YAAAAAAAAAS

[@johnp9988]

[@Denise_B17]

Tornadoes are in Oregon?

[@jewel58s]

We get them. Not frequently but we have had a few. One was just 15 mi from my house. Pick up an entire barn and relocated it almost on the nearby back country road.

[@patrickrussell1888]

​@@jewel58s, wind is the likely pattern this time of year, like the Columbus Day winds in Oregon a number years ago (1960s?).

[@Burienwoot]

When and where would be the best place to go in Washington Monday to watch the waves?

[@PacificNorthwestWeather]

Most areas will be nice

[@patrickrussell1888]

If you are in Coos Bay with wind, its Shore Acres State Park or southerly toward Cape Arago cliffs. Northeast area of Oregon, the rocks start at south side of Seaside. Then there's the Columbia River bar washing over jetties...best vantage/view is the lighthouse just above the US Coast Guard Station in Ilwaco, WA (and Cape Disappointment). The ENTIRE Oregon coast, though, has many picture perfect views!😊

[@taxesdeathandtrouble.1886]

A Primmer on millibars please.

[@guillermobright3617]

Salish Sea! Not Georgia Straight 👍🏻

[@PacificNorthwestWeather]

I mean, depends on the winds

[@guillermobright3617]

@@PacificNorthwestWeather Yeah for sure it does, Russians Spanish English all have their influence here.
