Bonney Lake 10-day forecast, out to 14 days

where the models agree, and where they split

Bonney Lake is a small town of about 20,000 people in Washington (WA), sitting at 47.2°N in a temperate climate zone. NWS, American, European each forecast Bonney Lake with their own physics, so we line all three up and flag where they disagree. Nearby towns include Sumner, Prairie Ridge, South Hill.

We grade every model against the weather that actually happened, so you can see which forecast model is most accurate in United States before you trust any single number.

Source: NASA POWER daily data from the MERRA-2 reanalysis, 1995-2024. Each value describes a grid square of about 50 km around Bonney Lake, not a weather station, and a square that takes in sea or a large lake runs milder than the city itself. That is why this section shows change against the square's own 30-year average rather than counts you could compare with a local station. Rain and snow are left out because their long-term record in this dataset is not consistent over time. "Within the normal year-to-year swing" means the change is smaller than the usual differences between single years.

Common questions

What's the weather in Bonney Lake today?
On this page we show what NWS, American, European each forecast for Bonney Lake today, side by side and updated live. When all three agree the forecast is reliable; when they split, we flag it so you know the day is genuinely less certain.
Will it rain in Bonney Lake today or tomorrow?
Check the hourly strip and 7-day forecast above. We compare rain from NWS, American, European for Bonney Lake and flag the days where the models disagree on whether showers actually arrive, which is exactly when a single app can catch you out.
Which forecast is most accurate for Bonney Lake?
No single model is always right. NWS, American, European each run their own physics, so we line all three up: when they agree the Bonney Lake forecast is reliable, and when they split you should expect surprises. See our tested US accuracy scoreboard for how the models compare.
Is Bonney Lake getting warmer?
Yes. In NASA's reanalysis for the area around Bonney Lake, 2015-2024 averaged 1.0°F warmer than 1995-2004.
