Dec 24, 2025 – The Wind Advisory is canceled after an inland‑tracking storm weakens, limiting gusts to 44 mph in Tacoma and 30 mph in Seattle, and the system brings scattered showers but no major damage, while high pressure builds for a drier weekend [8].

Dec 24, 2025 – Puget Sound Energy lifts the Wind Advisory for the Puget Sound region as gusts subside to 40 mph, yet urges customers to prepare for possible outages because saturated ground still threatens falling trees; the area continues recovering from flooding that affected more than 123,000 sq mi and 14 counties under Gov. Ferguson’s emergency declaration [9].

Jan 27, 2026 – Seattle’s 14‑day rainless streak sits one day shy of the 1963 record, and meteorologists forecast light rain to begin Tuesday night, ending the dry spell; rising temperatures into the upper 40s‑low 50s °F accompany a southwest moisture surge that threatens the already depleted snowpack, with snow levels expected to drop to 4,000 ft on Wednesday [4].
