No, it's because the wind will be coming pretty much straight onshore, and subsequently lifted by the mountains. This is not an unusual pattern, especially for this time of year.

No single weather event, especially one at such a local level, can be blamed on global warming. There have been occasions in the past when it has rained for 5 consecutive days, there will continue to be into the future. The difference now is that the *probability* of such an event occurring has increased.
Precipitation in all it's forms is the result of atmospheric water vapour condensing, water vapour enters the atmosphere in the first place through evapouration from the seas and oceans (all other sources are negligible by comparison). Clearly, the warmer it is the greater the rate of evapouration.
Bottom line - global warming does not cause weather, it affects it through the process of climate change.

Anyone who lives in the Seattle area knows it rains there all the time. Even though Seattle is in a northern area, the forests around Seattle are considered to be rainforests. It's normal for that region of the country.

If you can come up with any plausible theory that would link increased rain in Seattle with Anthropogenic Global Warming, and you have any suitable academic credentials you can label yourself a climate scientists and join the ranks of thousands who can accurately predict the future of earths climate for many decades to come, based purely on a finely tweaked computer simulation.

The hottest 10/1 in Atlanta was in 1928. How is that? Isn't the globe warmer now?

The IPCC clearly states that AGW is responsible if it's hotter, colder, wetter, drier, more droughts, less droughts, more floods, less floods, more stormy, less stormy, bigger storms, or smaller storms.
Surely your weather pattern fits in there somewhere. (and since these claims were made by a consensus of thousands of the worlds foremost climate scientists, we know they are true)

No. Regional weather is not an indication of GLOBAL warming.
