After a beautiful and mostly sunny day, clouds will roll back in this evening. An area of high pressure in the northeastern Pacific is expected to be the controlling feature on our weather map for the weekend ahead. This high pressure area will help bring clouds on Saturday but only a few showers are possible late day. The Saturday rain chances are associated with a weak weather disturbance riding on the wind flow around the Pacific high pressure area just mentioned. On Sunday it looks like the high will take hold of the weather pattern again and give us another mainly dry day. Bottom line for the weekend: very little rain or snow.
Despite some sun breaks this weekend, temperatures will be cooler than normal both Saturday and Sunday. Daytime highs will only reach the mid and upper 40’s. Overnight lows will be in the upper 30’s near the water and mid to lower 30’s away from the influence of Puget Sound. We won’t be setting any record low temperatures, but you will definitely feel the cold mornings this weekend.
The extended outlook for next week is not bad at all. A weak weather disturbance will move in from the northwest on Monday night and Tuesday. Some scattered showers are possible. We should dry out again on Wednesday and wait for rain showers again on Thursday with the next weather system. Temperatures next week will average in the upper 40’s with lows in the upper 30’s.
Have a great weekend and enjoy this relatively quiet stretch of weather.
