SEATTLE - Today in Seattle, skies had been partly sunny to mostly cloudy with a few passing sprinkles after more dreary Saturday weather conditions in western Washington.
Highs had stayed in the mid-60s Sunday as conditions remained cool and a bit unsettled, but a major pattern change had already been lining up offshore.
Tomorrow is when conditions will turn significantly wetter, as a soaking and drenching system will move into the region.

For the following week, warmer, with highs potentially reaching the mid-80s or even hotter if the pattern holds. After the early-week rain, a more classic summer stretch will begin to take shape across the region.
