Happy Friday! Most of the area has beautiful sunshine with good air quality and mild conditions in the 70s. There is some pretty thick smoke and haze in Mason County with some in Thurston and Kitsap Counties as well. I do think some of that smoke and haze will move east tonight over the Puget Sound region and could temporarily lower air quality. However, it would be short lived with better air quality into tomorrow.
Tomorrow we’ll start off cloudy with low marine clouds, but we should clear and see some decent sunshine. Highs will be in the low to mid-70s with increasing high clouds late in the day. That high cloud cover is a sign of change, and that change is a cold front for late tomorrow night. Rain will move in around and after midnight with some breezy conditions for a few hours.
It will still be gusty early on Sunday but not as breezy and the rain will taper off pretty quickly. We’ll see a developing Puget Sound Convergence Zone, leading to some lingering showers in King and Snohomish Counties into the afternoon hours. That zone of showers will be your best bet for any rain during the Hawks game. The cold front should produce about .25-.50″ of rain with more at the coast and in the mountains. Highs on Sunday will be in the upper-60s with decreasing showers.
Monday and Tuesday both look dry with Fall starting Monday morning. We should see some rain developing late in the week.
