Where is Seattle?
Lots of terrain and orography
Satellitehttp://www.atmos.washington.edu/~ovens/loops/
Some high clouds in the area, but they are to the north. There appears to be a ridge in the area for now.
Radarhttp://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/radar/index_e.html?id=XSIhttp://www.rap.ucar.edu/weather/radar/displayRad.php?icao=KATX&prod=bref1&bkgr=black&endDate=20110131&endTime=-1&duration=0
Not much on radar except for areas of heavy precip? Or is that something else? Hmm

The MOS values are pretty similar to each other, so there is good agreement between models.
