You’re going to need your rain gear this week. Starting Tuesday, Seattle’s weather forecast returns to normal: a lot of rain.

It’s not typically big news when a “jet stream” — a ribbon of air high up in the atmosphere — comes into the area from over the Pacific Ocean. But after a period of unusually calm weather for Western Washington, it’s coming in full force, bringing rain, wind and snow.
