Finally something to talk about in the weather department, so grab a cup and let us chat.
After an outstanding display of nature’s forces the other night, another round of nocturnal thunderstorms was in the mix for last night. There is also a risk of scattered thunderstorms today, as well. I was up until 1:30 a.m. early Tuesday watching the brilliant light display. Unless you have ear plugs in, it probably woke you up along with most everyone else.
Today will be a cloudy and soaking-wet day, depending on where the heaviest band of showers ends up. Rainfall amounts could top 1 inch, maybe 2 inches, under the heaviest showers, and 2 to 4 inches over the foothills and Cascades in Washington. Local frogs are preparing for those frog stranglers that are sure to pop up today.
Other areas will receive lighter amounts, but forecast models indicate enough rainfall to forget about watering for a few days. Colder air aloft will move inland as the pesky low finally moves eastward over the weekend. Once again, snow could fall on the highest peaks in the Cascades.
