Emergency Forecast Update: Rain hitting NW Washington

A weak warm-frontal feature is turning out to be stronger than expected and some of you may experience rain TONIGHT.    Some in NW Washington are already getting wet.

This band is moving eastward and some showers should move into Bellingham and as far south as Seattle.   The latest visible satellite imagery shows how western Washington has clouded up with with disturbance:

This band is timed well (poorly) to bring some light rain to many July 4th barbecues in NW Washington but it appears that i will push through before the fireworks.
