Got a bit of drizzle this morning at my house on the Key Peninsula in the South Sound.

NWS Seattle Discussion 9/13:
Quote: | .LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...Clouds will increase
through the day on Thursday as heights begin to fall in advance of
the first significant frontal system of the season. Rain will
likely reach the coast by late Thursday night then spread into the
interior early Friday morning. 24 hour precip totals for the coast
could reach one and a half to two inches, 2 to 4 inches in the
mountains, and perhaps three quarters of inch or more around
parts of Puget Sound. Snow levels will still be relatively
high...near 8,000 feet falling to 6,000 behind the front. This
will, however, impact anyone planning to be in the higher
elevations. Prepare for quickly developing winter conditions in
the high elevations Friday afternoon and night.
A cool, upper trough settles over the region for the upcoming
weekend with showers continuing as a series of upper disturbances
rotate through the region. Cooler air aloft associated with the
upper trough will lead to some degree of instability in the
atmosphere. As such, a slight chance of thunderstorms remains in
the forecast for Saturday afternoon and evening. 27 |

2 to 4 inches! Wonder if that's enough to raise flood concerns. 2 feet of snow above 8K!

Thank goodness for the rain (and snow!)! Even if it does foil some of our trip plans!

Whoa. I had just looked at the NWS site and saw this. Came here and gb already has it posted.
Yikes! Winter coming already. I hope I can get out and get another hike in before it hits. ~z

This is just through Monday morning (UW mm5);
If this comes to pass it will certainly set daily and 48 hour records for the dates, and is likely to set all-time September rainfall records for one day, and even more likely for 48 hour rainfall in Washington for this month (September). This is more like a very strong November or January storm.
Look for 5' of new snow on Mt. Baker above about 7000'. (Some of the rain will fall with 9000' snow levels.)

Started raining at noon yesterday up in the headwaters of the Chiwawa. Lots of hunters hunkered down up there waiting for the High Hunt to officially start, getting quite wet. Lots of hunter-wannabe’s staying dry, hunkered down at the Squirrel Tree Bar.

I don’t understand the units on the map. What is the forecast precipitation range for the magenta colored area?

Heck No.

They are the smart ones, lol. For a lot of my friends in North Dakota, hunting meant driving around all day in a pickup truck and drinking beer. The deer were pretty safe.
Go placidly amid the noise and waste, and remember what comfort there may be in owning a piece thereof.

cin = centi-inches.
magenta = 128 - 256, so 1.28" - 2.56"

Merci.
I used to record the official weather at Kent, and I’d never heard the term.

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

There’s no paint to be bought anyway.
Too bad the Gifford Pinchot can’t be out on the ridges with drip torches today, making huckleberry habitat.
