Seattle weather: A few more dry days ahead before rain returns Friday

SEATTLE – Clouds stored temperatures under common on Tuesday, with Sea-Tac solely warming into the mid-40s.

In a single day, temperatures sit close to common beneath principally cloudy skies. Areas to the north may even see gentle showers rapidly transfer by way of whereas of us farther south expertise fog. 

This is a peek at 8 a.m. Wednesday in the course of the morning commute. Most areas begin the day with principally cloudy skies and dry situations. 

We are able to thank the ridge of excessive stress off the coast within the Pacific for our dry days. This ridge will block storms from shifting into Western WA and as an alternative push them effectively to the north of us. 

By Wednesday afternoon, we’ll see loads of blue sky with highs touchdown within the mid to higher 40s. 

Thursday begins out partly cloudy and dry, however clouds will improve all through the day. Highs heat into the mid-40s. 

Simply as we get used to the dry and partly sunny situations change occurs.  Search for lowland rain and mountain snow to return late Thursday into Friday.  Showers most probably will linger into Saturday.  

Excessive-pressure returns by Sunday together with the potential for cold air to filter into the area from British Columbia. This air-mass will ship highs into the 30s with overnights dipping into the mid-20s. Snow ranges may also drop to close 500′ throughout this time. 

Proper now, we’re trying primarily dry with a partly to principally sunny begin subsequent week, however we’re conserving our eye on fashions because the forecast shifts. If any moisture strikes into the area, there’s a probability for lowland snow, however any accumulation can be minimal. Keep tuned!  

Have a terrific remainder of the week!  ~Erin Mayovsky, FOX 13 Forecaster
