Early- to mid-July is normally the time when summer arrives and Seattle dries out quite a bit--on average, it' s our driest month of the year--but instead the Puget Sound area has been rocked by an unusual string of thunderstorms, thundershowers, and flash floods. This morning's downpours are courtesy of Hurricane Fabio.

KOMO: " Some heavy showers and thunderstorms have popped up around the Puget Sound area and will be roaming around through the day, courtesy of some very unstable air that has moved into the region. Some of these storms will contain heavy rain and maybe a little hail, but in between the storms the sun might briefly peek out at times."
