According to the schoolnet site at North Bend, they are at 67F with 15% humidity. In Palm Springs, CA it is 62F with 52% humidity. Weird.

EDIT: It appears that Olympia tied their record low of 23F this morning.

Now up to 52.4 degrees as of 3:00PM!!!!!!

Dewpoint 31.4 degrees

Latest NWS discussion talks about clouds being once again a possibility this weekend :(

Funny how we are dissapointed when they are talking CLOUDS for the weekend, usually we would be quite happy for a single cloudy dry day in the winter :lol:

R-Dub... if you had my weather today you would be on the lake. We topped out at 69.6 degrees. I will round that up to 70 degrees!! Anyways... the winds died down and it felt just like summer.

Almost hot in the sun and with no wind.

Awesome.

Where do you get this info TT, I would like to know what it is in my area.

I had thoughs of getting the fishing boat out of its winter burrow :lol: and taking a run around the lake, but just not enough time to get the outboard prepped and ready today. (I am really fussy about maintance from my truck down to my 15hp outboard :lol: got to change all the fluids ect and give it a coat of wax before the first run of the yr) If its still nice this weekend, I will be out there for sure though!!

Currently 49.8 degrees

Here is the web site...

Check out North Bend.

Overall the air quality is not too bad around the Puget Sound area given the high pressure parked right over us. In North Bend it is almost pristene thanks to some light east winds. I can verify this by the crystal blue skies and lack of any haze here.

The normal high temperature on June 26th in Snoqualmie and North Bend is 70 degrees.

That was the high temperature at my house today on February 23rd.

That is SUMMER. Forget spring!!

Remember when it was 66 in North Bend sometime back in January at like 9 or 10PM? That one still blows my mind. Althought today was still very warm.

Yeah... North Bend is a pretty cool place to live.

We are away from the fog and inversions of the Puget Sound and close to the foothills. So we can get some really warm weather here at times in the winter (and more sunshine). We also get SLAMMED sometimes. And we are so close to the mountains.

Not to mention it is beautiful out here!!

I`ve been up North Bend before with my dad, but it was just kinda to look around at places ect. You should take some pics Tim, and share the beauty of your view that you have. -- Andy | 58 degrees with sunny skies here at 4:55pm.

Hard to remember the other side when you are hot outside in shorts and t-shirt.

We started the day at 48 and got up to 70 degrees. Not that different than a June day. Normally we might start out at 52 or so.

Well the one good thing with this pattern is that everybody gets what they want. TT with the warm afternoons and Snow_wizzard with the cold mornings. How many below freezing days in Feb. have we had Snow_Wizzard?
