Wet Thanksgiving Likely After Unusually Dry Stretch: WA Forecast
SEATTLE — Puget Sound may be in for a wet Thanksgiving after an unusually long reprieve from the November rain, according to the latest forecasts. Bucking with seasonal trends, the National Weather Service said Tuesday that no significant weather was expected this week, which usually lands among the wettest periods of the year.
There is a slight chance of rain Sunday, but if it fails to materialize, Seattle will tie the record for its longest November dry streak. Precipitation becomes more likely early next week and could ramp up just in time for the holiday, keeping things warmer and rainier through the end of the month. Forecasters are tracking potentially significant rainfall and new flooding risks.
The Climate Prediction Center's two-week hazard outlooks show a slight risk of heavy precipitation for all of Western Washington, heavy snow in the Cascades, and high winds along the coast between Nov. 23 and Nov. 29.
"Wetter and more mild conditions are favored during the Thanksgiving time frame, and the pattern will become favorable for atmospheric river type events," NWS Seattle said Tuesday. "A signal for above-normal precipitation persists into early December."
