This will be a cloudy week with several weather systems passing through western Washington, with rain and wind at times. The strongest winds will be at the coast and in the northern interior. Friday and Saturday, an atmospheric river is poised to bring rainy, windy weather as a front will stall overhead.
Today is starting cloudy and dry. A front will increase rain at the coast near 1 p.m. and increase wind with gusts of 20-30 mph. By 4 p.m., the rain will increase inland, around Puget Sound. Blustery winds will remain at the coast and in the north interior, north of Everett, this afternoon and tonight.
Rain will decrease on Monday night with a new weather system arriving. Expect increasing rain again Tuesday morning. Rain and wind for Tuesday will maintain gusts 35-45mph at the coast and north interior. The rain will lift northward with a warm front early Wednesday. The coast will keep the rain lighter at times, while the rest of western Washington will be dry, cloudy, and warm with near-record highs.
The warmer airmass disappears with an incoming atmospheric river-enhanced frontal system Friday and Saturday. The front will stall and continue rainfall, along with windy conditions, Friday and Saturday, with higher rain amounts.
