The wettest day of the year is possible for Seattle as a soaking and stormy pattern resumes, almost right on cue for the typical wet season.
A firehose of moisture will drench the drought-stricken Northwest this week, and other weather-related issues will accompany the stormy pattern unfolding.
The period from mid-September to November typically marks an increase in rainfall for the region. Almost right on cue, rain began to fall more regularly in many coastal areas last week compared to the prior few months.is 1.61 inches in September, but the monthly historical average jumps to 3.91 inches in October and 6.31 inches in November. As of Sunday, Sept. 24, Seattle has received 1.46 inches of rain, with more to drench the area early this week due to a potent storm.
Downpours will extend as far south as coastal areas of Northern California and as far to the north as the entire coast of British Columbia. "In burn scar areas, there will be the risk of flash flooding and perhaps some debris flows that could lead to detours on exposed roadways," Anderson added. Rocks may be knocked loose by the sudden rainfall, potentially falling on secondary roads through the mountains and hilly areas.
The strong winds generated by the storm for many days over the Pacific have stirred large waves in the region. A heavy surf advisory was in effect for portions of the Oregon and Northern California coast. According to the NWS, breakers will average 20-25 feet, and some could exceed 35 feet. A gale warning was in effect for much of the Northwest coast.
