Thunderstorms poised to roar into western Washington as March defies weather adage

March is flipping the script on the old "in like a lion, out like a lamb" adage this year as our weather is about to start roaring as we close down the month. The atmospheric pendulum will be swinging wildly over the top of us in the week to come, and we'll need to be especially weather-aware over the next couple of days. The first twist will be a surge of warm air coming up the west coast, courtesy of a thermal trough in California. Highs reached well into the low 70s around the central Sound on Tuesday, with afternoon readings closer to 80 near the Oregon state line. However, the unusual warmth will lay the groundwork for a thunderstorm outbreak on Wednesday. Thunderstorms require moisture and lift to get going, and we get those smaller cells frequently enough around here. But we don't often get a front seat to SEVERE thunderstorms, which require a quickly changing temperature profile in the atmosphere that includes very warm air at the surface and very cold air up aloft. -------------------------------------------------- For more on the lead story: https://komonews.com/news/local/weste... _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: KOMO News on Facebook:   / komonews   KOMO News on Twitter:   / komonews   KOMO News on Instagram:   / komo4   KOMO News on TikTok:   / komo4seattle   Subscribe to KOMO on YouTube:    / @komonews   Watch more top local news stories:    • Video   For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.komonews.com/ Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://komonews.com/watch Download our iOS App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/komo-...
