By Monday night, a strong frontal system will be on our doorstep. Associated rain will move in to the lowlands from the coast by 11 PM Monday. Expect steady light-moderate rain through most of the day on Tuesday.
This forecast model from UW shows 0.32-0.64 inches of rain through 5 AM Thursday. That forecast total is more rain than all of June 2019. You'll see some rain-shadowing near Port Townsend, and the coast+mountains will get the brunt of the rain from this system.
Rain from this system will continue through Tuesday night, but it will become showery.
Of course, in true Washington fashion, the rain doesn't stop there...look at the forecast totals through next Monday, the 15th.
The Cascades in WA, OR, and BC get a 2.5+ inch soaking. The lowlands get 1.2-2.5 inches of rain.
After the Tuesday system, chances of rain (mainly showers) will remain through next week. Some forecasts show a chance of thunderstorms in the afternoons on Thursday and Friday.
In case you were wondering...our area average rain for June is around 1.5 inches. By next Monday, we could have upwards of 2 inches of rain!! That would make this month the 5th this year with above normal precipitation.
