Author: Cliff Mass August 5, 2022 Duration: 12:06

Weather forecast models are great, but there are potent weather signs in the sky that provide advanced notice of weather changes.  I will talk about a few local weather signs here in the Northwest.  And I also discuss the latest forecast, with warming ahead followed by a cooling crash on Wednesday.   The Northwest weather roller coaster continues!
