Light rain is moving in across the coast and Olympic Peninsula this afternoon and through this evening, most of the rain will still be mainly north and west of Puget Sound. However, this broken line of rainfall will slowly move eastward into Thursday.
The chance to see Northern Lights this evening is slim because of the lack of auroral activity today and also because of increasing cloud cover across the area. However, with any breaks, there could be a glow on the northern horizon this evening.
By morning, expect areas of rainfall across Western Washington so a wet morning commute for many locations. This rain won’t be terribly heavy early but as the day goes on, we’re likely to see some increase in intensity of the rain. However, there will be some breaks in the action too. By afternoon, the Pinpoint Futuretrack indicates a better chance of rain across the northern one-half of the area, but rain showers will be possible everywhere in the afternoon still.
It could be a little breezy in spots, but wind now doesn’t look to be a serious factor in the forecast Thursday or Friday.
On Friday, expect some morning showers but by afternoon fewer areas of rain with a few sunbreaks too. In the mountains, snow could fall to near Stevens Pass on Friday as temperatures drop but I don’t expect any travel issues.
On Saturday, a few isolated showers are possible but the forecast is trending a little drier! We’ll see if this holds, but Sunday is looking soggy too. In the mountains, snow is likely to stay only at elevations above Stevens Pass through the weekend.
Early next week, we look to trend cooler but drier for a few days.
