Very localized forecast, but tomorrow looks like a classic Puget Sound Convergence Zone setup for western Washington! With a cold air mass in place, should see some hailers and at least the potential for more cold air funnels given the forecast shear over much of the lowlands/sound. Might even get a thundersnow event in the foothills, with well over a foot of snow above 3,000ft.
Should be a fun day weather-wise! Think I'll target the area just north of Everett. Some good terrain (flat & treeless) up there, and an added photogenic promise... the tulips are starting to bloom over much of the Skagit Valley! Thousands of acres of tulips would make for an interesting foreground for thunderstorms, then perhaps a trip east on I-90 will deliver an opportunity for thundersnow to heavy snow in the Cascades. If you ever have the chance to come out here, I hope you experience the unique weather of the PSCZ. Within a 20 mile drive, you can go from strong to severe thunderstorms, to thunder with winter precip, to blinding snow squalls.
