SEATTLE - Western Washington is bracing for a significant atmospheric river event set to bring heavy rainfall and potentially strong winds from Sunday night through Tuesday.

The National Weather Service (NWS) in Seattle has forecasted widespread rain, with most areas having at least a 50% chance of receiving over an inch of rain from Sunday evening through Monday afternoon.

The Puget Sound lowlands can expect 1 to 2 inches of rain, while the mountainous regions could see between 2 and 5 inches. Coastal areas may receive 2 to 3 inches, according to FOX 13 Seattle meteorologists. This deluge is notable as the average rainfall for the entire month of June in Seattle is 1.63 inches, and the city could experience more than half of that total in just 48 hours.

In addition to heavy rain, FOX 13 Seattle meteorologists say Monday will bring breezy conditions and a chance of thunderstorms ahead of an approaching cold front. High temperatures from Sunday through Tuesday are expected to struggle to reach 60 degrees.
