PSA:
The NWS always appreciates observations, especially detailed observations that everyone on here is capable of giving. That can be done thru Twitter, as they often set up a feed for that, or the mPing app. That can include final snowfall amounts, when the snow starts/stops, precip type, dew point, etc
This helps them with short term forecasts as well as future forecasts as they can learn from them. A few years ago they had a freezing rain advisory for Leavenworth, but I notified
SEA did not report rain on 2 days in April when there was significant rain.
Even with the missing data... SEA has had 30.55 inches of rain for the water year compared with 32.90 inches normally. I don't think that is enough to be catastrophic.
Yeah, at this point it's still looking like a somewhat drier than average spring, although that will improve over the next week.
5" below normal for SEA doesn't look right, though. I'm seeing them only about 1.5" below normal for the spring at this point - and didn't they miss out on recording a bunch of rain due to a sensor error with the big storm recently?
Regardless, most places from OLM south look to be near normal for this point in the spring within 5 days.
