Seattle weather: Another cool day Tuesday

Tuesday will be another cool spring day with highs in the low 60s. Scattered showers will be present through the afternoon with breezy winds at times. There will also be the potential for a rumble of thunder into the evening for western Washington.

The Brief

    • Western Washington will remain a bit cooler than seasonal averages for the first part of this week.
    • Scattered thunderstorms are possible for the day as a weather front moves down from British Columbia before temperatures warm by mid-week.
    • Things will turn around by Memorial Day weekend, with drier and sunnier conditions expected.

SEATTLE - Tuesday will be cool in the greater Puget Sound area, with a chance of afternoon showers and thunderstorms.

Why is Seattle colder than usual this week?

A low pressure system over British Columbia will continue to spread showers into western Washington Tuesday. There is also a slight chance for isolated thunderstorms to develop. High temperatures will remain well below average in the greater Seattle area, around 60 degrees. 

Big picture view:

Puget Sound Convergence Zone rain showers could linger into early Wednesday in north King and south Snohomish counties.
