Soggy in Seattle

I'm not going to mention this, the weather gods and I not being on the best of terms these days, but I hear from reliable sources in Seattle it's rained there now for 27 days straight. The record is 33. So certain people (this is why I'm not going to say a word about it) are hoping it keeps raining for at least another week, because what would be the point of 27 days of rain and then no new record (is that weird or what?).

As of about 15 minutes ago it hadn't rained yet today so it had better get started pretty soon or there goes the streak.

Which is why my lips are sealed. No way do I want to be responsible for a sunny day.

you blew it! here's today's weather summary posted by the local news station:

Well, we broke the streak yesterday -- no rain for our Sunday. But it started back up at 3 o'clock this morning. And there's tons more on the way. A warm front is over us this morning, but the pretty vigorous cold front comes through late tonight with heavier rain and wind. There is a Flood Watch issued for all of Western Washington, and a Heavy Snow Warning for the Cascades this afternoon and overnight through Noon tomorrow. Tomorrow we taper off to showers. We'll be cool and showery through Wedesday. Thursday may be a bit of a break, with mostly cloudy skies and just a chance of showers. Then the next big wet system is lined up for Friday. Updated Monday, 4:39 a.m. Meteorologist M.J. McDermott

i see the problem now with reporting on the weather. it's raining here for the foreseeable future.

i take back all the harsh things i said about the YAME weather editor.
