Seattle weather: Widespread rain returns Tuesday night

Monday will bring more clouds to Western Washington as a weak weather system moves over the area.

Low clouds will hang out most of Monday morning and into the early afternoon around Puget Sound. Expect some sunbreaks in the mix today with highs in the mid-70s.

What's next:

A more organized system will impact the area starting Tuesday afternoon. Showers will initially impact the Washington Coast Olympic Peninsula, and the North Puget Sound. By late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, the frontal system will push east, bringing widespread rain showers to the greater Puget Sound area.

Wednesday morning’s commute will be a wet one. It hasn’t rained in a while, so the roads could be slick in areas on Wednesday morning as oil rises to the surface.

After some leftover showers on Wednesday and Thursday, much drier weather is on tap for Friday and the weekend. Temperatures will be back into the 80s on Saturday and Sunday.
