Seattle weather: Soggy weekend start for western WA
While the coastal regions in western Washington are gusty, as well as in the Cascade gaps, the greater Puget Sound region is seeing a wet and soggy Saturday. Some relief from the rain is expected for parts of Sunday.
Today: Gray, breezy, and showery
SEATTLE - We saw scattered lowland rain across western Washington today, along with somewhat minor amounts of mountain snow. Highs reached the mid to upper 40s for many under gray skies. Earlier this morning, we monitored a spotty rain-snow mix in Southwest Washington, but no impacts were reported.
A wind advisory remains in effect through 10 a.m. Sunday for the Cascade foothills, valleys and ‘gap’ communities.
These include the following:
- Monroe
- Gold Bar
- Enumclaw
- North Bend
- Eatonville
Easterly to southeasterly gusts are forecast to reach 40 to 50 mph in those areas.
In these areas, we recommend limiting time outdoors or staying especially situationally aware if you have to be outside, as rogue gusts have the potential to bring down limbs, damage trees, and in isolated cases cause power outages.

A similar wind advisory is in effect for the Central and North Coast, where gusts are also predicted to reach 45 to 50 mph with similar possible impacts, while winds elsewhere across western Washington were breezy but not expected to be problematic.

A winter weather advisory stays in effect until 10 p.m. tonight for the eastern slopes of Snoqualmie Pass, where communities such as Cle Elum and Easton were expected to see 4 to 8 inches of snow.

Monday will turn darker, soaking, and drenching at times. Heavy mountain snow will be possible.
Tuesday through Friday: Showers taper, watching the mountains
Tuesday will bring fewer showers.
Wednesday and Thursday will feature isolated showers, and Friday could trend drier.
High temperatures will range in the upper 40s to low 50s. After Monday, we could see daily light amounts of mountain snow, though the extended forecast still has time to change — so stay with us for updates.
