80 degrees and lightly raining here. Easily the warmest precip I've ever felt in Western WA. And at 10:30pm is pretty wild.
With SEA officially picking up measurable precip now, and hitting 95 degrees earlier, that makes today hands down the warmest precipitation event since airport records began. I can't even find another day where it hit 90 and had precip on the same calendar day. Probably beats out 1941's event as well imo. Certainly if measured by precip and temp on the same calendar day it does.
Save this one for the future weenie reminiscing:
