Happy Friday and last day of Spring/first day of Summer! We will start Summer tonight at 7:42! It won’t feel like Summer, with plenty of clouds this morning and already some showers around Snohomish County north and over the Southwest Interior of the state. A few showers will be around for the commute in those areas but will slowly increase as the day goes on. By mid-day we should have showers around Everett north and in the South Sound, increasing everywhere during the afternoon and evening commute. The showers will be spotty, but it will be chilly with highs only in the upper 50s to lower 60s.
Rain will increase in intensity Friday night through Saturday morning, and this looks to be a good soaking rain for many parts of the area. This is excellent news after our dry start to June. Through midday Saturday when rain tapers to showers, most lowland locations can expect a quarter inch of rain, with even more in the mountains. We’ll also have some rainfall east of the Cascades, but it’s likely to be a little less than what we’ll get west of the crest. We will be drying out through late Saturday afternoon and Saturday evening. Highs Saturday will be unseasonably cool with highs only in the upper 50s to lower 60s.
Some sunshine will emerge on Sunday with highs back in the upper 60s. There will be a slim chance for a shower early in the day.
Another warmup is slated for early next week with highs in the 70s to near 80 in Seattle Monday through Wednesday before slightly cooler temperatures later next week.
