Some rain showers and some snow showers will linger this morning and end by noon. Morning lows this morning will be mainly in the upper 30s and lower 40s. Not quite as cold as the last few mornings.
Later today the skies will stay mostly cloudy, but some brief sun breaks are possible as well. Highs will be in the 40s. More clouds are expected on Wednesday but aside from perhaps a light shower near the Canadian border, we’ll be mainly dry and still chilly with highs only in the mid 40’s.
A weather pattern change starts Thursday with a light to moderate general rain for much of the day, but as Friday arrives, warmer air will arrive and for some spots, some heavier downpours (but also some drier times.) We could also have some gusty breezes on Friday, especially near the coast and northern waters. Highs Friday will be in the mid 50s in Seattle.
Snow levels kick up to above 6,000 feet by Friday and remain pretty high through the weekend, so while the higher slopes will see snow, the lower bases and passes might just see rain at times.
In the lowlands, it’ll be rainy at times on Saturday with the possibility of heavier rainfall and gusty winds again Sunday and Monday.
If heavy rain materializes, we could see a spike up on area rivers by early next week with an increase in landslide risk. We’ll watch the rainfall forecasts closely. Also, starting Friday and going through the weekend, a series of king tides could produce some coastal flooding across the northern waters and Puget Sound though the greatest threat of that still looks to be across the San Juans and Whatcom County.
