Happy Monday! Most of the area is dry early on, but that won’t last. We already have widespread clouds with rain not far behind. There is an area of low pressure that will move inland through tomorrow, pushing a front in later today. Rain will begin at the Coast this morning and then west of Puget Sound by about mid-morning. Then by about late-morning to midday the rain will start around Seattle and the rest of the Puget Sound area. It will stay wet through the day and into tomorrow with around .50-1.25″ of rain. Highs will be cool in the upper-50s and lower-60s.
Tomorrow we will have showers and cool weather continuing with the potential for a Puget Sound Convergence Zone. That looks to be focused around Snohomish and King Counties and will be the best bet for any thunderstorm activity. The instability is very light tomorrow, but the Convergence Zone might give us just enough energy for some isolated storms.
Wednesday will be a bit of ‘transition’ day from cloudy/wet/cool to mostly sunny and warm. We should be mostly dry with partly cloudy and warmer conditions. An area of high pressure is expected to build over the PNW by the end of the week and last into next weekend. As the high takes hold, the temperatures will climb into the 70’s by Saturday and we will likely see 80’s on Sunday.
The rest of the week will be sunny and really start to warm up. Into the weekend the wind will turn offshore on Sunday and temps will just at least into the upper-80s and lower-90s. We’ll continue watch the temps to see if we have our first 90° day and if we set any records.
Bottom line: we go from below normal to above normal on the thermometer for a good portion of June still to come. Rain chances will likely stay very low as the warmer-than-normal weather sets in.
