Happy Friday. We started off the morning with some fog and drizzle, now a cold front will push rain and gusty to breezy weather over the region. The rain will be steady for a few hours and then we’ll dry out quite a bit. However, there will be some lingering showers this afternoon. It’s already a bit gusty, but behind the front the wind will shift and be southwesterly. That wind shift will keep the area breezy and help produce a convergence zone around King and Snohomish Counties. Showers will linger most of the day and potentially into tomorrow.
For the Huskies game, there could be an isolated shower or a few sprinkles in a Puget Sound convergence zone that forms in the afternoon and evening in the central Sound but otherwise, partly cloudy skies and temperatures only in the mid-to-upper 50s for the game!
Snow levels will fall to around 4,500 to 5,000 feet tonight into Saturday. That’s low enough to deliver a quick dusting to places like Paradise on Mount Rainier and across the higher North Cascades terrain, but lower highway passes (Snoqualmie and Stevens) will see mostly light rain.
Afternoon highs on Saturday will struggle to hit 60° across Western Washington after a few morning rain showers.
Sunday through Monday turns drier with more sunshine, but afternoon highs will stay locked in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Overnight lows will dip into the lower 40s across the lowlands—with upper 30s in the outlying valleys, foothills, and mountain passes, and this will deliver the chance for some morning frost!
Rain chances return Tuesday with another front that keeps some showers lingering into Wednesday.
