A strong ridge of high pressure will break down later tonight, opening the door for cooler air and marine layer clouds heading into Wednesday. High temperatures in the central Puget Sound area will drop about 15 degrees into the mid-70s. We will stay cooler and cloudier through Thursday.
The next round of widespread rain showers arrives on Friday into Saturday morning. We could see up to a quarter of an inch of rain in the Puget Sound lowlands and up to 1 to 2 inches in the mountains. Snow levels will drop to around 8,500 feet on Saturday, so we may see some light snow at the top of Mt. Rainier and Mt. Baker.
Sunday and Monday look dry and partly cloudy for now, with comfortable temperatures in the 70s.
Temperatures will cool down dramatically Wednesday through the weekend in Seattle. (FOX 13 Seattle)
