CHANGES ON THE HORIZON

The majority of our weather comes from the west and today if you looked to the west you could see it coming. I took this picture around noon. Notice how the sky is sort of split in two. There was blue on the top part and white below. It made a pretty clear line in the sky.



The orange dot on the satellite image is about where I took the picture in Kirkland. It is looking across lake Washington at the city of Seattle. I drew an orange line on the satellite image where I believe to be the front edge of the clouds in the previous picture. The thin clouds to the east of the orange line are also visible in the previous picture.



Some of the thin clouds were thick enough to produce a halo around the sun. As expected the rest of the clouds moved in later in the day consuming the blue sky. These clouds are ahead of a weak weather system that is expected to bring Seattle at least a little bit of rain Wednesday.
