NOAA here too thats where the tv guys and everyone else gets their forcasts. The local news channels always hype up the forcast. Just like last night we were supposed to wake up with 3 inches of snow on the ground and when I woke up the sun was shining. We've had a few snow showers but other than that zip. Of course trying to forecast the weather in the Seattle area is a crapshoot at best. Too much water and mountains to make the forecast go right out the window.
