Currently in Seattle — December 1, 2023: Winter is coming

The weather, currently.

We knew it was coming. A winter storm brings rain back to Seattle and snow to the high country. 

Friday morning we’ll get soft rains and some light wind. We’re looking at a break in the afternoon, but things get spicier Friday evening. Winds could gust up to 37 mph and up to a half-an-inch could come down overnight. 

Seattle rain means snow in the mountains, and snow levels are dropping way down. Heavy snow is expected above 2,000 feet with up to 2 to 3 feet possible by Sunday afternoon. If you have plans to drive any of the Cascade passes or get into the mountains, watch conditions carefully.

What you can do, currently.

Everyone deserves to thrive. Everyone is worthy of a better world. That’s why we’re building a weather service for the climate emergency.

Currently’s new weather service is now live. In the weeks and months ahead, we’ll be continually adding more features and opening up more slots as we develop the service.

But for now, space is limited in the weather service because I want to make sure we can provide the highest quality service we possibly can while we work to refine the system with your input.

If you’d like to put your name on the waiting list, be sure to fill out our baseline survey if you haven’t already which will hold your spot in line.

Our goal — as always — is to co-create the most personalized, most informative weather service that exists. And, above all, to make this service accessible, equitable, and resilient enough to bring safety and joy to the climate emergency.
