Another incredible sunset tonight.....

😎😎 What a day it was on Sunday! Some lowland locations actually reached the low 80s! Most areas got into the low to mid 70s, with coastal regions and areas near water remaining in the mid 60s to low 70s. Another nice day on Monday, albeit a tad cooler! #wawx

We did have a bit of an Aurora show early last night.

April?! Today’s showers are tapping into cold air aloft and bringing heavy snow to Snoqualmie Pass! Take it slow and drive like it’s winter if traversing I-90 thru tonight! #wawx

Photos are not mine... City of Duvall has closed McCormick Park Indefinetly due to erosion happening. Trails run near the embankment of the river. Repairs will likely be needed before the park can be reopened safely to the public. #wawx

From WSDOT East on X: “US 2 Stevens Pass is now closed between milepost 55 and 85 because our plows are not able to clear the road due to illegally parked vehicles at the summit. If you have selfishly chosen to block our crews and first responders, come move your car off the highway.”
