After a warm sunny day the clouds, showers, and cooler than normal temperatures return to our area. The sunny stretch is at best two days so far this season for Seattle. I wonder when I can blog about three straight days of sun, but for me that would be less interesting weatherwise :)
A weak cold front from the system heading into British Columbia grazed Washington and Northern Oregon and dropped enough rain to wet the ground but not enough to water the plants. Yes, weaksauce. Rain fell in South Seattle from 5am to 6am and it looks like the precipitation is banked up on the Cascades leaving us with a mostly cloudy day.
This is an IR image for the Eastern Pacific at 8:30am today. The pink signifying the cold cloud tops which is thick in depth and may produce precipitation. This morning's front is now over Eastern Washington.
You can see the swirly like system in the Pacific that is heading into BC and setting up a similar situation where we are grazed by the front but this time instead of a quicky this system is expected to linger, maybe has enough punch to actually water the plants, and will roll in late in the day. Check with me tomorrow for developments.
