[@Led_Dis_Spencer]

best weather forecaster. no fake smiles. no tight skirts.

[@aquachonk]

Holy h3ll, it's been so long since I watched local news, I'd forgotten about those idiots. Best we can hope for with Michael is shorts during the warmer months. LOL

[@mitchgillilan]

That would be scary 😂

[@BalthazorsStrategicArcana]

He could be wearing a kilt. Just joking here. I agree with you too. 👍

[@JDsModernMartialArts]

I like the tight skirts. 🙂

Be like a train; go in the rain, go in the sun, go in the storm, go in the dark tunnels! Be like a train; concentrate on your road and go with no hesitation! And….have a great day and thanks Michael for this update.🎅

[@HeyGingerBlog]

From Western WA, I love the rain 🥰. I pray all stay safe during the storm!

[@Arecee]

Thanks so much, Michael! Merry Christmas Week is here! ❤️🎄❄️🎄🥰

[@aquachonk]

Gonna go wave watchin' tomorrow! Bring on the breakers, baby! UPDATE: Waves were a bit underwhelming. They were nice, but not nearly as tall as expected. I think a receding tide rained on my parade.

[@PrePaidTeam]

You’re the best, Michael! Happy holidays! 🎉

[@TerryFraatz-s7v]

Thank you, Michael! Raining relatively hard here in Oly Town right now, and of course me being me, I'm about to head outside and go one block over from where I live to Budd Inlet and walk the boardwalk, I love a good storm, and to me that is walking weather, lmao! Great video, dear sir, and I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a most Merry Christmas! Lovin this active weather, and I hope everyone stays cool😎keeps safe, and will catch ya in the next one!😄⛈☔🌧🎄

Merry Bomb Cyclone to all! Thanks Amigo!

I am already visualizing greeting cards for this holiday.

[@pactme]

Thanks much! Watching good weather forecasts makes one realize just how *terribly* mainstream media does their versions.

[@moviebuff6490]

10:30 pm Chehalis, lots of rain. Nice and warm, its great to have all this rain.

[@violetdreams1799]

good morning! ☕ well, we'll just have to deal with what we get.. thanks for the heads up Michael! have a great day 🎄☃️🌟😊

[@harrisonrutledge5]

Late Jan-March looks good for possible lowland flakes! Looks like some 980-990 lows perhaps making a SE Vancouver island / Nw tip of Washington landfall. Merry Christmas Michael thanks for all you do.

[@shantibronowicki9565]

Merry Christmas from The Caribbean Trinidad Loving the sunshine going home soon to Raincouver Keeping my husband updated on all your weather reports in Vancouver Thank You May you and your family have A Blessed Holiday 🎄🎄🎄🎄🧑‍🎄🧑‍🎄

[@herdbull]

Pray the power stays up, thanks for the heads up Sir!

[@alisonguinn7358]

My sinuses definitely indicate some pressure changes ahead 😄

[@2MuchPurple]

Hello Michael. Such exciting weather we have. I've figured out that I live in a wind tunnel, due east of Victoria in Sedro Woolley. The wind blows directly at us through the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It's really loud, so I have to wear ear plugs to sleep. I hope this pattern weakens soon. ⛅

[@hurricaneheather1420]

Thank you for the update Michael 😊

[@sheilathailand1903]

Thanks! Should be interesting!

Thanks Michael for your forecasts. I hope some of that wetness makes it over the Sierra Nevadas into So. Utah...we need the moisture

[@draperone371]

Thank you ❤ 😊🎄🎅👍

[@JBLawson-ih8vw]

I grew up in western Washington and moved to Texas then new mexico(roswell) other half of my life and recently came back to western wa because going 8 to 10 months with no rain is crazy

[@HeyGingerBlog]

I'm in Western WA as well. I giggle when people complain of the rain here. It's hard to appreciate it until you have been somewhere that rain is a rarity. Summers in southern Oregon were so brutal (115 degrees no where to escape the sun rays. NO THANKS!) I love the constant cool rain and cozy stormy nights. Only pray all will be okay with flooding and the like! 🙏

[@markhill9912]

My nieces flew home from Honolulu this evening aboard an A330-twin jet. They were clocked at 641 mph at times at 41,000'. Nice tailwind pushto get them home in 4 1/2 hours thanks to the Jetstream!

[@iamnameless135]

Cheers dude!

[@k26kv31]

We are looking forward to our delivery of the Tempest Weather Station by the end of the week. Should have it up and running by New Years and can monitor the weather along with the PNW Weather Watch channel.

[@benjaminseng4271]

finally! let the wet winds fly baby!

[@greggutierrez6997]

Thanks professor. Fun surf in San Diego.

[@comeconcon569]

Steady rain fell from the heavens pretty much all day long Thursday.

[@Graybeard_]

Christmas lights on Christmas along the coast are in doubt. Spike in generator sales not in doubt.

[@avanellehansen4525]

Horrible body pain with low barometric pressure today. 😢

[@3rdandlong]

I'm wondering why the Medford NWS office would say something about wave actions, or surf activity when Medford is not on the coast?

[@Trad-Am]

Where's our La Nina mountain snow, we've been hearing about for 6 months. We all wanna go riding, Braaap!

[@danielmoung9098]

Thanks Michael, and a question. Have you seen any potential long range climate trends for arctic air coming to the northwest after mid January? One of my local Portland forecasters was talking about this as a possible trenda around or after mid January. This guy is a long time forecaster too so I do trust what he says. Of course that far out is fantasy land too.

[@PacificNorthwestWeather]

Its just way to far out to start talking about yet. There will be an attempt at some point, but will it be a legit attempt, thats the question...

[@patrickrussell1888]

Albuquerque sunny on the 10 day forecast

[@kristinem9171]

Please zoom in enough to see county lines for the snow depth, I'm in Central wa and that's as close to a forecast as I've ever found everyone else ignores us, currently snowing but not sticking at 1900ft

[@madjenta3079]

Oh boy.. where is the cold front for all this rain in the lowlands. We want snow in the lowlands please ❄️

[@debbiezatterberg5481]

I love the storms living on the coasts.

[@CjLucas-n8r]

Whats the first chance for lowland snow this year ?

[@EvzenKovar-i5p]

If the NOAA 10-day model is correct, Astoria could be looking at 10 inches from Christmas Day-Sunday. Hope the bilge pump in my basement can handle this, otherwise I’ll have to run a trash pump and hose into it.

[@LonaPua_Pouliuli-Popoki]

🤙Aloha Michael ur the Best☔Subscription Ever less time in confessional - for cussing out my old weatherman"

[@Luckyduck10]

We usually get dusted on Christmas Eve but probably not this year. It’s too warm.

[@stevenmoylan166]

Juicy systems being driven from the Mariana’s archipelago- the westernmost part of the American empire. I call these weather systems that originate from this region in Micronesia- the ‘Slingstone Express’ or the ‘Cha Cha Slide’. Anyone from Guam will get it 😜

[@peterbland7227]

Any snow for Southern Oregon on the horizon?

[@jbr84tx]

What will it take to get some Arctic air into Western Washington? Still waiting for the snow.

[@andrewverleur660]

Brace for 10 storms, Pacific Northwest!

[@patriciahigley9633]

I would love to see info on timing of the winds for the next couple storms, as family tries to navigate get togethers and potential power outages. Ugh! Merry Christmas 🎄

[@JamesKonzek-xr5zy]

We're all gonna get trained! 😭😭😭

[@JensUlven]

I'm ready for some snow down the Willamette Valley!

[@cristineconnell7803]

Rv living, told my neighbor I was ready for snow! He pointed at the hill tops & Steven's pass & told me, "you have 4wheel drive, go for it! 🙄🤣😂🤣😂😂

[@danielmoung9098]

Me too. In his kgw forecast yesterday, Rod Hill talks about a potential pattern change in mid January that would possibly send arctic air into the pacific northwest. Of course that's very long range so who knows.

[@Fox250R]

@@danielmoung9098most of these local weather guys can’t even accurately forcast 3 days ahead much less a month 😂

[@danielmoung9098]

@@Fox250R At least it gives me something to hope for, for a lowland snow guy like me. If you say that it may be mild and dry a month from now then I can also say that oregon and washington might get an arctic outbreak and lowland snow a month from now. It IS 50/50 for now until we actuallu reach later in january and february. I am not ready to call winter a bust yet.

[@Fox250R]

@@danielmoung9098I hear ya! We will see what happens 😊

[@Breakable_Pencil]

Rly hope our snowpack can get in a better place over the winter, but I’m not too hopeful :(

[@genehammond7239]

👍👍👍👍

[@hey_youtubeim_back2159]

Medford Oregon big waves? Medford is about 100 miles from the ocean

[@Fox250R]

They must be huge! 😂

[@philhyde983]

Ugh. Snow levels way too high for Oregon.

[@skylerjoaquin8666]

Any other commercial crab fisherman watching this too?

[@davidpowellseattle]

Yes. Please add the Portland metro data for landslide potential to the graph. Good info as soils get saturated! Thanks

[@johnp9988]

🍻

[@lolapeters814]

Confused by your Medford, OR photos. Medford is high desert, way inland. Where are those shoreline pics taken?

[@PacificNorthwestWeather]

SW oregon coastline is covered by Medford NWS

[@lolapeters814]

Thanks. ​@@PacificNorthwestWeather Ah! Of course.

[@Karen-p9t5g]

So glad this precipitation is coming as rain, not snow. Love hearing the rain. ☔️.

[@edwinlipton]

Just have too say this Michael. The seasons don't come on like a light switch. They ramp up, peak out and ramp down. South of thee equator they have been ramping into summer, peaked out and are now ramping down too fall, winter. We are now ramping into spring, summer. The universe don't care about what we call it, meterological or astro. It rules and just keeps on ticking. Cheers

[@PacificNorthwestWeather]

Cant remember mentioning anything about season coming on like a switch. These are just the defintions based on time of year with regards to Meteorological Seasons and Astronomical Seasons.

[@edwinlipton]

It sounded like so many others who say; 1st day of winter, "solstice", or like Southern equitorial reqion, summer start. My winter here in Southern Or Cascade region saw its start with ice pellets turning too snow in late Sept 2024, nearing Falls end time. Your still the most spot on in my opinion on your Forcast's I've ever seen or heard,, and I mean that! You were born for this. No argument intended. Thank you Michael for all you do! None of my two vehicals one a 4x4 pk up, thee other an AWD STUCK VAN, have been able too see any snow covered ASPHALT for almost 2-1/2 months now. Thats counts as winter too me😂😂😂!

[@helioslow9244]

Just don’t say Fujiwara.

[@stm890]

People have gone crazy with the bomb cyclone term... calling every storm that comes in a bomb cyclone lol. I see it in the Facebook neighborhood groups 😂

[@PacificNorthwestWeather]

Its a very specific definition

[@paintlady2268]

Yup Bomb cyclone used to be windy Atmospheric river used to be heavy rain.

[@PacificNorthwestWeather]

@@paintlady2268 An Atmospheric River is based on Vapor Transport, not intensity of precipitation. A "Bomb Cyclone" Doesnt mean "windy", its the rate of pressure drop and some areas nearby can have very little wind, some can have high winds. Depends on your location.

[@luccac6247]

This warm, rainy, miserable weather needs to end. Enough of this tropical garbage. Bring on winter.

[@trueheart8390]

I hate the Western Wa. weather. It sucks year round.

[@t-bonejones3576]

To each their own, I guess. I love the rain. Just not so much when it is coming sideways! When it's raining it usually aint freezing! I hate freezing and snow and the like

[@Querencia7779]

Please move away.

[@t-bonejones3576]

Also, the summer here on the inside of Vancouver Island is awesome but dry. Often it won't rain from June to September. At all. Trees don't like it much, but most humans do!

[@D-B-Cooper]

Imagine what it would be like if it was nice here.

[@D-B-Cooper]

@@t-bonejones3576no shortage of those.

[@Powder148]

Worst weather in the country

[@Fox250R]

Oh stop! You’re joking right ?

[@aquachonk]

Can't think of anyplace I'd rather be.

[@jb42588]

For onece, I'm not looking forward to this. We're going from the mainland to Vancouver Island on the 23rd and returning the 27th. This could mean canceled ferries if the winds are bad through the Georgia Straight. 🥲
