Happy Friday! There are a few pockets of showers drifting from the mountains over the lowlands this morning. There won’t be much precipitation, but a few showers to start your day with mostly cloudy conditions. Then, we’ll be mainly dry for the majority of the day with the chance for a few showers or thunderstorms in the mountains later today that again could drift over the lowlands tonight. The chance for t-storms will mainly stay in the mountains. We’ll be partly cloudy this afternoon with highs in the lower-70s.
The chance for any storms will go away after dark with the loss of daytime heating. By morning, most areas will be rain-free though there could be a few sprinkles or pockets of drizzle mainly near the mountains.
On Saturday, the upper low will still spin nearby, creating a source of instability and lift. However, the best chances for any thunderstorms will be in the mountains in the afternoon and early evening. In the lowlands, we’ll call for partly cloudy skies both days and an outside chance for a rain shower (especially Saturday afternoon and evening). Basically, the same thing as today.
Highs into the weekend will be in the low 70s in Seattle.
The upper-level low moves away through Sunday, and we’ll have some additional sunshine along with some clouds. The same forecast is out for Labor Day next Wednesday with highs in Seattle near average — in the low to mid 70s.
Some rain chances could return by the end of next week.
