That’s because of a marine layer forming off the coast and is trying to push inland. It’s not making much headway against the east winds though.

Yea they could be a little less excited about a natural disaster. You don't see other offices crowing about hurricanes slamming into cities.

btw has anybody mentioned that Seattle grocery stores are all sold out of ice and most cold beverages? was at QFC a few hours ago and they had limits on the amount of ice and water you could buy, but ice was still entirely sold out. Shelves seemed pretty bare for a lot of random food and stuff as well

wonder if the tone will still be that celebratory when the record-breaking heatwaves are immediately obvious as mass fatality events

At least when NHC gives hurricane forecasts they've had lots of experience in delivering communications about a very specific kind of threat. Not sure NWS Seattle is used to having to bring out carefully measured words for a heat event.
