Thursday’s atmospheric river brings record-breaking rainfall

A little over an inch of rain was recorded at Seattle-Tacoma Airport breaking the old June 9, 1993, record of .72 inch.

According to the National Weather Service, all six of their climate reporting sites reported new highs for the most rain on a June 9.

Thursday also ranked among the 15 wettest June days on record.

Friday brings more rain, but mainly in areas down South.

There will be a few showers throughout the day, but expect the majority of the rain in the South Sound today.

We’re not ruling out a possible thunderstorm and clearing just a bit as we head into early tomorrow morning.

We will have rain at times for the majority of Saturday.

Temps will be in the mid to upper 60′s this weekend. Today’s high is 66, still below average for this time of year.

Another round of rain will move across the area on Sunday bringing us an increased chance of heavier showers.

Expect scattered showers Monday heading into Tuesday, and then we should be drying out and warming up a little Tuesday into Wednesday.
