Let the rains begin! Or something like that, I suppose. Expect stormy weather today and showers through Wednesday. The timing of the storms will be about every two days apart as it looks right now. That means some short dry periods between weather systems.
Even northern California will get in on the action and receive some much needed precipitation.
Warm southerly winds between 20 and 50 mph ahead of the front pushed afternoon temperatures into the 70s around much of western Washington on Monday. Rain began along the coast in the afternoon and was heading our way in earnest. I would expect local rainfall amounts to be about an inch over the next couple of days.
There’s still no widespread frost on the horizon. We are getting close to the average first frost date in many of the outlying areas, which is the middle of the month.
