To start, today was a fabulous day here in the interior and over WA State as well thanks to building high pressure which looks to be with us through the weekend with highs in the mid 70`s and maybe even a few low 80`s under mostly sunny skies. So nice weekend shaping up!Also to note and for those of you who have looming over the models last couple days, you know that there is the chance at some convective precip over what appears to be the SW WA Cascades and also the Oregon Cascades as CAPE values will be impressively high up around 1400j/kg and Lifted index values pretty low and at around -4, -5c. But moisture looks limited, but some will be present so am thinking high based afternoon t-storms with lightning being main issue. Don`t really expect them to come Westward off the Cascades as greatest instability will be over the higher terrain of the Cascades. But if anything forms, it looks to be scattered. So best chance from what was see this morning and yesterday as well, looks to be tomorrow afternoon and Sat afternoon. The interior lowlands of western WA will see mainly clear skies and mild conditions.
Ok, now to radar(see link and image). It appears the Seattle-WSR may be in ''clear air mode'' as it currently shows a blob of false precip moving up from the SW and heading toward the central sound. This more likely just a bunch of pollen/ dust, ect. OR! Could be a flock of birds flying in our direction from the south sound this evening. I have seen something similar before on a clear day of when it showed flase precip. So can`t always take what you see on radar for granted as it may show something there when in fact it`s not.
Enjoy the weekend you all!
