Excessive Rainfall Possible This Weekend; October Heat Wave in California

A slow moving front will be the focus area for heavy to excessive rainfall and a threat for flash/urban flooding across the northern Gulf Coast and Southeast U.S. through this weekend. Abnormally hot, potentially record-breaking, temperatures will impact southern California and stretch north toward the Bay Area and Central Valley into next week. Read More >

A Puget Sound Convergence Zone (PSCZ) forms when strong westerly winds flow around the Olympic Peninsula and converge over Puget Sound. It generally forms north of Seattle, and may move southward to as far as Boeing Field or SeaTac Airport. A PSCZ can cause a narrow band of convective precipitation along it, which can include rain showers, thunderstorms, or snowfall. Strong south to southwest winds are to the south of the PSCZ and north to northwest winds to the north. More model information for the winds around SeaTac can be found on the SeaTac Wind Page .
