Severe Thunderstorms are Likely to Hit the Northwest Wednesday, March 26

Seattle is no stranger to overcast skies and rain. I mean, it's kinda what their known for. There's some severe thunderstorm warnings going on could be bringing several thunderstorms to the northwest and specifically Seattle which is something Seattle isn't as used to.

Rain, sure.

Thunderstorm? I mean, every once in a while, sure, but not like what they're predicting.

Not just thunder but strong winds, rain, hail... Washington State may be getting a beating on Wednesday.

These thunderstorms could bring some havoc to the greater Seattle area as well and other parts of Washington State that could even bring hail according to Fox13Seattle.

What causes a thunderstorm?

The weather we've had the past couple days is perfect example of what can cause a thunderstorm. As we learned in science, hot air rises, cold air sinks. When we get warmer temperatures suddenly after it's been cool for so long, that air crashing into each other has to go somewhere and turns into wind and enough of it combined with other elements like clouds and all that could cause some natural fireworks.

Yakima isn't known for thunderstorms but we do get them every so often. It seems like Yakima will have a thunderstorm maybe once every 7 or 8 years or so so we're about due for one here. Not sure if Yakima will get one on March 26, though.

Seattle and other areas may get a light show out of it, though. We'll see.
