Solar storm ahead of schedule and has already arrived on earth. Forecast from earlier this morning had the Kp index peaking at 8 between 10 pm and 1 am so the peak might be a little earlier. There is a chance we could start seeing the aurora early this evening.

Soggy to the core after the last couple days. Wind and waves. Leaves to rake and sans power for twelve hours. But I sure do love the beauty that comes with the storm!

( #NWSSeattle): 72 hour rainfall totals greater than an inch ending early this morning. You'll notice how much of Seattle has been shadowed. But when westerly winds slam warm, moisture laden air into mountains, you end up with 3 DAY TOTALS OF 12 TO 16 INCHES. Yes, more than a foot or rain. #WAwx
