The clouds just can’t get enough of us.
First, our promised two-day stretch of clear skies turned into filtered sunshine and haze. Now, a thick blanket of clouds is poised to move into the region, snuffing out any remaining hope for a halfway-decent Friday.
Oh, and this latest round of clouds will stick around for the balance of the weekend.
The gloomy weather gets underway early tomorrow, as an upper level low off the Oregon coast hurls a wave of moisture northward into Western Washington. Showers will spread from south to north by mid-morning, with overcast skies to boot. Temperatures will nosedive from the mid 70s of the past few days to the lower 60s.
Rain will increase as the day lengthens, with the heaviest precipitation expected Friday night. Isolated thunderstorms are also possible in the foothills, although the best chance is east of the Cascades. Rainfall totals through Friday will range from .25” around Seattle to .50” on the Eastside.
Showers and clouds remain in the forecast on Saturday, although some clearing is likely later in the day. Highs will stay on the cool side, with temperatures again not making it out of the lower 60s.
Sunday offers the best chance for a dry—and warmer—day around Seattle, with most of the rain confined to the mountains and coast. Temperatures will bump back into the upper 60s—closer to the norm of 72 degrees.
Cool, showery weather will return on Monday, lingering into Tuesday, before the sun fights its way back to our neck of the woods mid-week.
Surely the clouds will be sick of us by then, right?
