Stormy weather

Got some heavy weather headed our way -- from the The Bellingham Herald
Rains blanket Washington, flood watches issued
Heavy rains are blanketing and lightning is striking Washington on Thursday, prompting flood watches throughout the region after a dry summer.

In Western Washington, the National Weather Service is expecting one to two inches of rain as a storm makes landfall. By Thursday morning, half an inch had fallen from individual bands ahead of the storm.

The rain is forecast to intensify Thursday night.
had quite the thunderstorm last night and there are occasional rumbles as I type. Cliff Mass is live-blogging from Seattle:
4 PM NOWCAST for the Heavy Precipitation Event
As predicted earlier today, this afternoon has been generally dry over most of the state.

Also, as per the HRRR and UW WRF modeling systems, heavy precipitation has exploded in northern Oregon this afternoon and is moving towards Washington.
