Late afternoon at Maple Leaf Reservoir Park. Enjoy now.
“And the coming heavy rains” is in the title of Cliff Mass’ blog post today.
This is going to be a very wet week for the Northwest and northern California, with a deep trough over the eastern Pacific that will bring very moist, warm air and the jet stream right into us.
From the National Weather Service:
THE OLYMPICS AND NORTH CASCADES ARE STILL SEEING THE HIGHEST BULLSEYES WITH 48-HOUR PRECIP TOTALS ENDING WED AFTERNOON AT 10-15 AND 5-8 INCHES RESPECTIVELY.
The forecast here is for varying amounts of rain for the next, um, seven days.
From University of Washington professor Mass: “Rake your leaves today, clear your gutters, and make sure the street drains are open!”
