Unstable cold, moist air moved into the region on Saturday, with showers apparent on high-resolution visible satellite imagery (see below).
If you hike Mount Rainier, you will “enjoy” a mix of rain and snow with very limited visibility (see below).
Here in Puget Sound country, the powerful Puget Sound Convergence Zone is producing a heavy rain band across the Sound (see radar)
Cool air around western Washington is pushing strong winds down the eastern flank of the Cascades (see today’s maximum winds below). Good for wind energy, not good for fire.
It’s all explained in my podcast!
