I just found it on the Seattle National Weather Service’s Twitter page… they post great stuff all the time. Same with Portland. Those are the two main ones I look at but pretty much all the offices post great stuff regularly on their Twitter accounts.

Here are three interesting rainfall statistics from the Seattle and Portland NWS (courtesy of their Twitter accounts):

(1) Sea-Tac has had multiple February days with over 1.50″ of rain, the first time this has happened on record. Total rainfall for this month is around 7.84″, the record rainfall for February is 9.11 inches.

(2) A new daily rainfall record was set at Hillsboro yesterday (2/15) when they picked up 1.23″ of rain, beating the 1.22″ set in 1961.

(3) The Olympic Rain Shadow has been in full-force… Jefferson Creek in Mason County and Port Townsend in Jefferson County saw 24-hour rainfall totals of 6.86″ and 0.08″ ending late last night (2/15), even though they are only separated by 41 miles.
