Localized Deluge
News flash: It is ix AM on Lord's Day as well as it should hold upwards mostly dry out for the adjacent 4-5 hours. Immediate answer necessary (e.g., become outside). There are a few residue showers, roughly of which are producing rainbows (see 9AM Seattle SpaceNeedle panocam). Note the blueish skies.
Yesterday was an amazingly wet twenty-four hours for April, as well as a "highlight" of i of the wettest Aprils on record. A pose out of locations (like Seattle) had their wettest Apr 14th on tape as well as Apr is straightaway the fourth wettest on tape as well as WE ARE ONLY THROUGH HALF THE MONTH.
The pelting distribution yesterday was interesting, amongst the heaviest atmospheric precipitation flora inward a southwest-northeast band from SW Washington across Seattle as well as into the fundamental Cascades.
Here are the 24h totals ending xi PM Sat (only showing the locations amongst at to the lowest degree 1.5 inches). 1-5-2 inches over Seattle, but 3-5 inches over SW Washington as well as close five inches on the western side of the Cascades NE of Seattle. 8 inches close Mt. Rainier.
The heaviest pelting was during the belatedly afternoon as well as early on eventide when local streets started to flood.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 radar-based guess of 48-h rainfall ending xi PM Sat exhibit the band of heavy atmospheric precipitation across fundamental Puget Sound, amongst 2-4 inches beingness prevalent. And you lot volition also detect the rainshadow over NW Washington--those lucky folks from Sequim as well as Port Townsend to Bellingham.
What was going on? A relatively narrow atmospheric river of wet that sat over us for over 12 hours. You tin plough over notice run across the culprit inward an infrared satellite motion painting at xi AM Sat (below).
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 plot of the wet content of the atmosphere at xi AM yesterday shows the feature, amongst the orangish as well as ruby colors indicating high values of amount wet inward the atmosphere. Heading correct towards us.
Another real useful tool tin plough over notice hold upwards created past times multiplying the wet content past times the wind...something called Integrated Vapor Transport (IVT). That is what actually controls how much pelting nosotros instruct on our mountains. IVT at the same fourth dimension (11 AM) every bit above shows pregnant values moving off the Pacific, amongst an configuration matching the heavy rainfall.
The forecast for the adjacent 24 hours? Good tidings for sodden Washington, bad tidings for Oregon. The accumulation from five AM Lord's Day to five AM Mon indicates lots of pelting inward Oregon as well as northern CA, which is excellent--they quest to a greater extent than H2O downward there. Washington has enough. More than enough. Our snowpack is to a higher house normal. Our reservoirs are full. Our rivers are running high. Our set down wet is high.
I am heading exterior for a run amongst my Canis familiaris piece I convey a chance.
