There is also a Coastal Flood Advisory for the ocean beaches. The combination of strong winds, large waves and lower atmospheric pressure near the time of high tide could lead to minor coastal flooding.
Mild and Cloudy Wednesday
The front will gradually lift north tonight into British Columbia, but it won't take all the rain with it. By Wednesday morning, rain chances will be focused mainly along the coast, west of Puget Sound and across the Northwest Interior in Whatcom County. Most other areas will remain cloudy, with a few sunbreaks possible. Southerly winds will continue, helping temperatures climb into the 60s.
Some locations could approach or reach record highs Wednesday. Seattle’s record for Wednesday is 65 degrees set in 1990. The mild conditions will continue Wednesday night, with lows near 50 degrees.
More Rain Thursday, Then Another Wet Weekend
The stalled front will remain close enough to the coast to keep rain in the forecast for areas west of Puget Sound on Thursday. Temperatures will stay mild, with highs ranging from the upper 50s to the mid-60s.
Friday through the weekend, Western Washington will see a series of frontal systems bringing rain showers and breezy winds at times. Snow levels will remain above the mountain passes until Sunday night.
Wednesday and Thursday will dry out and warm up in Seattle before the next round of storms. (FOX 13 Seattle)
