We might as well end the month the way we started it.
On a gloomy note.
Similar to the first day of June, when .26” of rain fell, roughly a quarter-inch of rain is in the forecast for Saturday. The moisture is due to arrive early in the morning, courtesy of a weak front limbering across Western Washington—and it should stick around for the better part of the day. So much for Saturday.
Unfortunately, Friday won’t be a day at the beach either.
Light rain—which is already falling in some parts of Western Washington right now—will continue to move into the region tonight, leading to a damp Friday morning across Puget Sound. The rain should taper off by noontime, but skies will remain mostly cloudy. High temperatures will drop a couple of degrees from today, falling back into the mid 60s.
Engulfed in clouds and rain, temperatures on Saturday will fare about the same—perhaps slightly cooler due to the day-long duration of the rain. The front finally moves past us Saturday evening, shutting off the moisture tap across the Seattle area. By that point, we’ll likely have seen enough rain to vault from sixth to third place on the list of all-time wettest Junes in Seattle.
Sunday—the beginning of July—will kick off much the same as June, with overcast skies and scattered showers likely. Temperatures will struggle to reach 70 degrees—the average high for July 1 is 74. Thankfully, Monday looks better, with temperatures warming to the mid 70s under sunny skies.
That’s what, less than 80 hours away? Not that we’re counting or anything…
