( #NWSSeattle): The #AURORA has been spotted from the office roof! Clear skies across the central Sound right now, but fog has been developing across portions of the north & south Sound. Fog will expand across the area through the morning. Anyone else catch a glimpse of the AURORA tonight? #WAwx #wx
