Time to cue the soundtrack - it is going to be a wet week - from Cliff Mass:
JAWS is Making Landfall on the Northwest Coast
Yes, JAWS.
A July Abnormally Wet System (JAWS) is approaching the Northwest coast as I write this blog. The view from space is scary and unusual for this time of the year. It looks like a November satellite image.
The latest high-resolution UW WRF model forecast shows the rain coming into Puget Sound this evening--earlier on the coast and to the southwest.
During the next few days, western Washington and Oregon should be wetted down, with potentially several inches in the high elevations of the Olympics, north Cascades, and mountains of southern BC (see below...total accumulation through 5 PM Friday). The heaviest rain will be overnight tonight, but there will be plenty of showers tomorrow.
Glad to see a brief respite for Saturday - two events I am planning to attend. Sunday will start up with JAWS II and JAWS III is tentatively penciled in for July 19 and 22. It will have even bigger (or wetter) teeth.
Solid overcast and starting to spit some rain.
