A much wetter stretch is ahead from California to Washington as multiple systems crash into the Pacific Coast. Here’s how much rain and snow is on the way and when.

Whether you’ve been drinking alcohol or abstaining, it’s been an exceptionally dry January in the Seattle area.

Widespread rain showers and mountain snow overnight and Friday. Warmer temperatures too, in the upper 40s in the Seattle area.

Thursday will be a transitional day, as a big change in the weather pattern will usher in rain, cooler temperatures, and a chance for lowland snow through next week.

Clouds to start the day, with increasing rain starting on the coast and up north. And by the late afternoon, everyone will see showers, and we will start to see some snow in the mountains.
