TT-SEA Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Heavy rain inbound, south Puget Sound about to get slammed. Rain totals in the SW interior look decent. Interesting how everything is staying west today. Normally in this type of onshore flow showery situation... what is over Tacoma is over my area about 30 minutes later. Totally dry here and nothing inbound.

Normally in this type of onshore flow showery situation... what is over Tacoma is over my area about 30 minutes later. Totally dry here and nothing inbound. I think the flow is more NNE than NE and that has slowed the progression of rain moving inland I think. Showers also not moving very fast.

seattleweatherguy Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 .SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...The showery air mass might generate a thunderstorm or two into the evening hours--although as of 3pm there haven't been any lightning strikes in Western WA. There was a strike up on Vancouver Island and a handful east of the Cascades. The highest echo tops are just shy of 20kft which is certainly underwhelming so don't expect much. There is some moisture in the air mass however--showers could be on the heavy side this evening. The showers will become more scattered and taper off Tuesday and Tuesday night--favoring the PSCZ area and the Cascades. For the middle of the week high pressure will build into the area before a front arrives around Thursday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
