Rainfall drenched areas of Western Washington on Monday with forecasters warning of the potential for thunderstorms and lightning.

The National Weather Service in Seattle reports that 1 to 2 inches of rainfall fell in under three hours in Everett. North Seattle and Shoreline areas saw heavy downpours before the commute started. West Seattle and Alki Beach got drenched around 4:30.

According to 成人X站 7 meteorologist Claire Anderson, the Puget Sound region can expect more rain into Tuesday, with conditions drying out after that. Temperatures will stay cool — in the 60s — this week.

The Saturday thunderstorm was a surprise to many as the region does not often experience such a show of light and sound. About 2,200-2,300 lightning strikes occurred within two hours.

鈥淚t鈥檚 very unusual for Western Washington,鈥 said Kirby Cook, science and operations officer for the National Weather Service. 鈥淣ot unheard of, but unusual 鈥 we just don鈥檛 get a lot of thunderstorms here in Western Washington. They are not as common as in some places like Oklahoma or Florida; places that have warmer temperatures and abundant moisture to drive thunderstorms.鈥
