Weather Highlights for the past week – chilly, a brief snow storm, then warm and rain.

• Our lows for Sunday – Wednesday were below freezing, Saturday was just barely above freezing for a low.
• Tuesday night we had our 4-5 inches of snow, however it was short lived as a warm moist storm originating from Hawaii slammed into the region.
• Wednesday – Friday we are warmer than normal due to the jet stream bringing us warm storms from Hawaii, however this isn’t exactly a “Pineapple Express” as the storms have pauses between them and it’s not a constant several day rain.
• Friday we had a strong breeze, not strong enough to warrant a wind advisory or warning. However strong enough to knock some limbs down and cause some scattered power outages such as the one in Lake Forest Park.

The week ahead:

• Look for more breezy conditions on Sunday.
• Warmer than normal weather for this week, probably more rain than normal as well. The ground is very saturated and there a chance for some mud slides.
• I also think it’s possible to see wind storm or two in the middle of the week, perhaps towards the end of the week as well, breezy conditions at the least.

Here’s how we are doing temperature-wise compared to this month last year:
