The outlook: For the next few days we will be wet. We have a series of Pacific storm systems blowing through the area bringing us some rain at times. There's still indications that there will be some colder air moving in on Thursday morning, however it's still on the marginal side for wet snow or rain. Right now models seem to favor the strongest possibility for wet snow to be North King County, or Southern Snohomish County, Shoreline and Lake Forest Park fall into the North King County section of this possibility. I'm expecting conditions to be similar to that of Christmas day, and we probably will not see accumulating snow.
Beyond next week there are indications that waves of arctic air will break loose out of the north and into the western US, however precise timing and paths of these cold waves are still uncertain. I will add that we have not yet seen the worst of our winter.
New series on historic storms: I am working on a series of reports on historic weather events that have directly impacted the Shoreline and Lake Forest Park areas. We are looking for stories from our own readers on any past weather event that you can remember. Please email your stories if you have any, thank you!
Highlights from last two weeks: We've had a lot of icy mornings the past two weeks, which have been the main significant impacting our weather. Christmas Day turned to be just slightly too warm to produce the wet snow that I was thinking could be possible. Lots of areas west and east of us received snow, however we were moderated by the warming east winds during that storm.
