from the NWS:
Timing for the Seattle metro area is around 5-7 pm. Steep lapse rates and mean
CAPE values exceeding 1,000 J/kg support strong updrafts across
the area with supercells expected. The Storm Prediction Center
has a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms west of the Cascades.
The main threats include large hail (up to 2" in diameter),
damaging wind (58 mph or greater) and (to a lesser extent) brief
tornadoes.

I really hope tomorrow gives us the goods. I've been disappointed in thunderstorms around here since July 2009, I think it was.

Not if the border force field has a say!

Today will be interesting, at the very least.
Storms usually don't work out for us and stay south, but I really hope this time it doesn't and we get a good storm.

It probably won’t work out but there is a chance at least!

Two inch hail in the lowlands? I really, really doubt it.

i know that would be like a 1st ever i think. We will see what happens. It could also be tornado day
I dont ever recall seeing a warning like this so close to home. 2" Hail..whoa crazy if anything close happens in the lame PNW weather district

We see that secondary band sweep in overnight with an onshore push preceding it. The result is less instability. We could see high based thunderstorms but the chance of anything ridiculous is slim.

Different story for Southern Puget Sound with clashing airmasses, very unstable mid layer and peak radiational heating. Supercell development is likely.

First impulse is moving in later this morning.

Where? Seattle area or here?

Edit: Oh those virga showers incoming?
meh..enjoy the light rainshowers

[Hawk]

will be interesting to see the radar returns today..esp south Sound. It will likely be lit up like a Xmas Tree with some serious high powered voltage lighting

Guess where I'm gonna be tomorrow evening.....

I'll be delivering in the north side of Seattle....leaving the Valley around 4 PM

Be careful down there B.C's best trucker remember hiding under over passes is not recommended during tornado activity find a low spot like a ditch or culvert.

Sometimes, all you need is a chance!!
