SEATTLE - Get ready for a mini roller coaster of weather around Western Washington and Seattle this week! This weekend will be warmer-than-usual. The workweek will mark a dramatic cool-down with chances for lowland rain, mountain snow and breezy weather at times.
This weekend will feature morning fog with stunning afternoon sunshine. Highs will jump to the upper 60s – low 70s. For perspective: the normal high for today at Sea-Tac Airport is 62.

Wednesday currently looks like the busiest day of weather this week. It’ll be blustery with times of wet weather. Mountain snow is possible on Wednesday and Thursday. There could be snowflakes flying as low as the elevation of Stevens Pass, but accumulations at 4,000 feet are unlikely.
The highest peaks of the Cascades and Olympics could experience accumulating snow! You’ll notice temperatures dropping in a big way, too.
River levels will be rising this week due to the soggy weather pattern; however, we don’t expect flooding at this time.
There may be rain for the Seattle Reign game on Friday.
