Friday was the 28th rainy day in Seattle this month, tying records set in January of 1953 and 2006, according to The Seattle Times.

As of Friday evening, Seattle had gotten 9.16 inches of rain, making it the sixth wettest January on record, said Weather service meteorologist Matthew Cullen.

Because of the heavy rain, weather officials have already issued flood warnings for several rivers across the region. The threat will most likely continue through the weekend.

“It’s been a very wet month overall and looks like February is going to start off the same way,” said Cullen.
