Looks like the front is moving in as forecast

| No Comments

Got this little bundle of joy from The Weather Channel:

Gale Warning from FRI 5:00 AM PDT until FRI 5:00 PM PDT

WHAT...Southeast winds 25 to 35 kt.

WHERE...East Entrance U. S. Waters Strait Of Juan De Fuca and Northern Inland Waters Including The San Juan Islands.

WHEN...From 5 AM to 5 PM PDT Friday.

IMPACTS...Strong winds will cause hazardous seas which could capsize or damage vessels and reduce visibility.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Gale Warning means winds of 34 to 47 knots are imminent or occurring. Operating a vessel in gale conditions requires experience and properly equipped vessels. It is highly recommended that mariners without the proper experience seek safe harbor prior to the onset of gale conditions.

And Cliff Mass has this - looks like the farm is going to get a little wet this weekend:

Heavy Rain and Rapidly Rising Rivers: The Details on the Friday/Saturday Inundation
If you were planning to take a hike on Friday, forget it. Thinking about painting your house? No way.

It is going to be very, very wet on Friday and early Saturday, and I suspect some daily precipitation records will be broken.

But let me give you the details.

Let's start by showing you the latest accumulated precipitation totals forecast by the European Center model for the period ending 5 PM Sunday. Virtually all of the mountainous areas of the region will get more than 2 inches, with some being hit by 5 or more (particularly the Olympics and North Cascades).

Good - we can certainly use the rain.  Build up the snowpack for next summer as well as a base for this year's skiing.
