The UW's Probcast-ometer calls for below-freezing temperatures tonight (30ish) and tomorrow night (upper twenties). We should see a mostly sunny weekend, but temperatures will continue to drop, says UW meteorologist Cliff Mass.

To increase your Mass, drop by Elliott Bay Book Company at noon today for his talk, "Is Rainfall Getting More Extreme?" He's also signing his book, Weather of the Pacific Northwest.

If that's not enough weather for you, KIRO TV's Rebecca Stevenson is hosting a special tonight at 7 p.m. titled "What's Up With Our Weather?" Among other things, she'll be discussing the predicted El Niño effects for 2010, which has been on Cliff Mass's mind, too: He thinks a low snowpack might be in store.

Finally, if you haven't read it yet, Cliff's in the Seattle Weekly. Mike Seely wrote a nice long piece on Mass, his history with Carl Sagan, and the difference between deterministic and probabilistic weather forecasting.
