Heavy Rain Across the Southern US; Unsettled Pattern in the Pacific Northwest

A storm system will bring heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and flooding threats to portions of the Southern Plains Friday, the Lower Mississippi Valley Saturday, and the Southeast into the Mid-Atlantic on Sunday. High elevation snow and mixed precipitation and rain in the lower elevations will impact the Pacific Northwest this weekend before a stronger system moves in early 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.
