-barrier precipitation ratios over the Washington Cascades ( Mass et al. 2015 ). Other studies have investigated the synoptic control on cloud microphysics in Cascades precipitation events ( Hobbs 1975 ; Medina et al. 2007 ). The objective of this study is to use observations and numerical simulations to quantify and interpret the synoptic controls on orographic precipitation distributions during OLYMPEX. These distributions are evaluated for three different frontal phases: warm frontal (WF), warm sector (WS), and
