The Weather Heat Wave!

Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Mon, Sep 21, 2009 at 9:15 AM

University of Washington weathersuperman Cliff Mass tells us why it's going to be so warm in the Jet City this week over here.

National Weather Service:

Today: Sunny, with a high near 72. North wind between 6 and 11 mph.
Tuesday: Sunny, with a high near 84. East wind at 9 mph becoming south.
Wednesday: Sunny, with a high near 78. Calm wind becoming southwest between 7 and 10 mph.
Thursday: Patchy fog before 11am. Otherwise, partly sunny, with a high near 66.
Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 69.
Saturday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 73.
Sunday: Sunny, with a high near 73.

Also, skiers and snowboarders, take note: Cliff answers (sort of) the question "Should you take a chance on a season ski pass this winter?"

And! Fans of Cliff, F.Y.I.: He's teaching Atmospheric Sciences 101—a general introduction to weather—this fall, open to both UW students and external "access" students.

UW's Probcast (probcast.com) has an even more dire prediction of about 89 with the possibility of climbing to 93 on the first day of fall.

Joy.

Hmm. 41 and raining here. Looks like somehow we managed to switch weather.

I took Cliff's 101 class my senior year to round out my Natural World credits to graduate (those would be "science" credits for all you non-UW folk). He looks and talks like Harry Shearer, and his class is fun and awesome.
