Out of all the months in the year, November is typically the wettest of them all in western Washington, according to Ted Buehner.
Out of all the months in the year, November is typically the wettest of them all in western Washington. Coincidentally, November is also the number one month for river flooding, primarily since there is usually little mountain snowpack to soak up those warmer rainy days when snow levels rise.
However, this month looks like it will retain its wettest-of-the-year image. A big change in the dry weather pattern that finished October will result in a parade of wet Pacific weather systems to provide much-needed rainfall into next week. Sea-Tac Airport measured a bit under three inches of rain in October, so the next week or so of rain should exceed last month’s total rainfall. Sea-Tac usually averages a little over six-and-a-half inches of rain for November.
Each of these incoming weather systems is expected to kick up some wind as well, not excessive wind, but enough to bring down many leaves off trees. Combined with rain runoff, storm drains could get clogged with leaves, producing water ponding on roadways. Everyone should do their best to keep local storm drains clear of leaves.
