From KOMO News:

SEATTLE - It's 0.02" of rain for the record books.

That's how much rain fell between 8 and 9 p.m. in Olympia Thursday evening to officially tie their record for number of consecutive days with measurable rain at 33. The rainy streak began with snow just before midnight on the night of Dec. 18.

The original record was 33 days set from Jan. 6 through Feb. 7 in 1953.

That is the same record Seattle was chasing, but fell short on Sunday and their streak ended at 27 days. (Incidentally, it has rained on each day since, so Seattle can take solace that they were 31 of 32 days with rain -- the Seattle streak began a day later than Olympia's.)

Shelton is also the proud owner of a 33-day streak, while Forks and Tacoma are still going at 32 days. Tacoma is the only one close to a record (theirs is also 33, set the same time as Olympia's). Shelton's record is 41 days while Forks' is 51 days.

Olympia has an excellent chance to break the record Friday, as rain is still in the forecast, but with drier weather expected over the weekend, the streak will likely end then.

Is it time to start doing some sort of sun dance?
