💨Big leaf-fall weekend ahead! 🍁 Windy weather tonight & especially Sat night/Sun morning will bring down a lot of leaves on trees & lead to isolated power outages. Trees will look noticeably more barren in 48 hours’ time.

We’re a few days behind schedule this year due to lack of wind—most trees still have a majority of their leaves.

Six of Seattle’s top-10 driest Octobers were during El Niño years. Five of the six were followed by snowless winters (1991, 1952, 1969, 1987 & 2002).😢 Oct 1972 (8th-driest) was the exception, with 9.1” of snow falling in the winter of 72-73. Rooting for a ‘72 outcome! 🙏

10 years ago was Seattle’s wettest October on record. 10 years later, and this could be our driest October on record. Just 0.08” at Sea-Tac so far. Record driest October is 0.31” from 1987.

I know it’s sooo 2025 and my kids would cringe if they saw, but… Today was the second day in a row with a high of 6-7 🤣

The first week of October was the 6th-warmest on record at Sea-Tac, with an average temp of 60.1° ☀️ 1st place stays with 2022, when the region was cloaked in wildfire smoke. 💨

One of the more fascinating aspects of this climate is that it’s almost always sunny on October 6. This year is no different.

Interestingly, several recent El Niño Septembers (2004, 2015 & 2002) also had cool-ish Septembers. The following winters were all warm and snowless. 😢

Interestingly, our last September with a strong El Niño (2015) was also 2° below normal. And then the torching began the next month 😢

Nice early-fall blow in Western Washington today! 💨 Seattle gusted to 38 mph—nothing too crazy, but pretty decent for September. Olympia (south of the track of the storm center) hit 54 mph!
