Our sunny St. Patrick's Day luck runs out with rainy and breezy conditions returning for Spring!

Seattle - Happy Wednesday! 

After a beautiful St. Patrick's Day with highs soaring above average into the upper 50s to low 60s we'll drop temperatures back down to the mid 50s for Thursday.

The next weather system is on the way now!  Clouds increase into the overnight hours with temperatures dropping into the mid to upper 30s with some areas seeing the low 40s.  

The forecast flips for Thursday as rain arrives early along the coast and will continue to spread into Puget Sound by mid-day with the afternoon commute looking sloppy.  There is a chance of thunderstorms at the coast spreading inland some with a better shot of widespread thunderstorms for Friday across much of the Pacific NW.  

Thursday winds will pick up some at the Coast and North Sound too. Friday looks a little breezy as well even into downtown with gusts 25-35 mph at times. Highs will hang near normal in the mid 50s

As we bring on the Spring season more rainy and breezy weather comes our way along with dry sunny breaks in between. Saturday scattered showers linger for the lowlands with most of the precip sticking around the mountains.  

Sunday looks a bit wetter for the coast and to the north with rain picking up overnight.  Monday starts out wet, but showers decrease through the afternoon. Highs over the weekend drop a bit for cooler temps with the start of the work week in the low 50s. 

At this point, Tuesday looks to be the brief dry break before another front moves in Wednesday.  Highs jump back to near average by mid-week. 

Have a great night! ~Erin Mayovsky, Q13 Forecaster
