The Big Dark: Weather Service shares satellite image of future rain clouds stretching from China t
Source: Seattle Times
The Big Dark is about to begin, as Dustin Guy of the National Weather Service in Seattle likes to describe it.
After a relatively benign first half of the month with only about a half-inch of precipitation in two weeks were likely to get that much dumped on us on Tuesday alone, he said.
In a satellite image tweeted out by the weather service on Monday, a series of weather systems that basically form one long stretch of moisture a few thousands miles long that will be hitting us in the face starting tomorrow can be seen over China and all the way across the ocean to British Columbia.
Thats our unsettled pattern for us for the foreseeable future, Guy said.
