Lots of rain for the Seattle area in the forecast this week. Thursday (Thanksgiving Day) looks to be a little drier than the others, though.The wet weather makes the reds and oranges on the fall leaves stand out. I picked up this leaf from a block or two away. I don’t get these colors on the big old maple leaves from the neighbor’s tree next door; those only have yellows and browns.
I live in the wettest part of the lower 48 states (number of days with precipitation), and the last two weeks of November is the wettest part of the year. It looks like this year is no exception! The 24-hour totals at Bremerton west of Seattle is at about 4 inches, and one place on the Olympic peninsula had 6 inches of rain.
