Flip Flops

My old pair of flip flops are worn out to the max and so I'm shopping for a new pair of flip flops for the next stretch of sun and warm weather. Doesn't look like we'll have a nice stretch in the near future, but we can only hope. This pair is called 'Waldo' at Nordstrom.  The colors are a little much for my age, maybe I'll go for more neutral shades?

The weather is sporting flip flops of its own nature. Yesterday we had rain early in the morning and a mostly cloudy afternoon with showers. Flip flop 1: we'll have a mostly cloudy morning with showers and a wet late afternoon. Flip flop 2: Another weaksauce front? Nope, a front that has been lifting... :) With cold fronts, the cold dense air pushes nudges the warm air causing the warm air to rise or 'lift' from the surface. When the rising air cools and condenses clouds form and then precipitation.

Update 8:30am

It's been raining at the Bellingham International Airport this morning with a whooping 0.31 inches in the gauge in the past 6 hours. Over the Udistrict nil at SeaTac International Airport Trace. But, that will all change this afternoon. Let's see who get the most precip in the next 12 hours.

Update 3:45pm

Steady light rain is moving into the Puget Sound area, and will continue until late tonight. Chinatown this evening? I'll bet on more wet than dry.
