A look ahead to our first storm of the season, impacting the #PNW from Wednesday to the weekend. Notice widespread significant rainfall, including on wildfires, as well as gusty winds (30-40 mph interior, 40-50 mph coast). A perfect way to welcome meteorological fall! #wawx

Some very cool cloud action in Tacoma right now, filling up most of the sky!

Smelling a twinge of wildfire smoke across Western WA? That's due to brief offshore flow today (see forecast for air at ~5,000 ft), ahead of a switch with our incoming midweek storm. Flow turns back onshore tomorrow (Tues.), and air will be clean again! #wawx

@Conrad_DeJong Doing a bit better for now, still possible to have more smoke there as fires continue for the time being...

[Matthew Pfab @MatthewPfab]

Clean air across Washington state...what a beautiful thing to see!

Expect some areas near fires (especially Chelan) to remain smoky at times this week, but overall, fire activity will be much less. And, to top it off, rain is coming to start September!! #wawx

@Fly_Airlink Danger. Death. Destruction.

Just think of what could’ve happened, don’t put people in this position.

🌧️ There is high confidence for widespread rain across northwest Oregon & southwest Washington Wednesday to Thursday next week, Sep 2-3. Minimal flooding concerns expected due to low river levels. Make sure to clear storm drains and gutters of any debris. #ORwx #WAwx
