Seattle's rain is changing

Description

The rain is sticking around today, although it likely won’t be as heavy as it was earlier this week.

Two atmospheric rivers broke rainfall records across Western Washington. Several rivers flooded roads and homes, a landslide wiped out Seattle to Portland Amtrak services and anyone making their way around on foot was probably soaked.

Rain like we saw this week is probably going to be more common as our climate changes. Assistant State Climatologist Karin Bumbaco breaks down why.
