The weather today looks cloudy, and much cooler compared to yesterday. You will notice these cooler temperatures hanging around for several more days. Rain showers should break out later today across much of Puget Sound and the forecast for tomorrow looks cloudy, cool, and rainy at times.
Wind today will be a bit breezy at times with gusts over 20 mph around the island of the Salish Sea. High temperatures will be held into the upper 60s to around 70 degrees this afternoon…. A big difference from yesterday’s 87 degree day!
Today is a transition day from the warm and dry weather we have seen over the past week. The natural “air conditioning” of air flowing off the Pacific will be in full swing today.
This afternoon and evening a trough of low pressure will approach the area. The clouds will bear rain later today along the coast and spread showers across Puget Sound this evening. Rainfall could be heavy in parts of the north Sound, north interior and coast, while lighter rain showers are likely across the central Sound. Still, for the second local World Cup match tomorrow, it will be very different compared with games past. Soccer fans can expect cool breezes and high temperatures only in the low to mid 60s on Friday. There is also a slight chance for a late- day thunderstorm as a potential Puget Sound Convergence Zone sets up.
The timing of the forecast rain may not be ideal with respect to the outdoor events coming up over the next few days; however, it should be noted that this rain is really going to beneficial as we continue into the dry season here in western Washington.
Showers will taper through Saturday but still some showers of rain will be around with highs in the 60s. A drier weather forecast is in store from Sunday into next week, but temperatures likely stay below average — in the 60s around Seattle.
