Generation

A rain shadow occurs when moist air is forced to rise over a mountain range. As the air rises and cools, it loses its moisture through precipitation on the windward (upwind) side of the mountains. By the time the air descends on the leeward (downwind) side, it has lost most of its moisture, creating a dry region called a rain shadow. This explains why one side of a mountain range can be lush and wet while the other side remains arid, like the wet western slopes versus the dry eastern slopes of Washington's Cascade Mountains.
