Seattle weather: Dry through Saturday morning

The greater Seattle area will get a nice break from the rain through Saturday morning as a ridge of high pressure settles in over the Pacific Northwest.

After a chilly start Thursday, temperatures have rebounded nicely. We'll see slightly above average high temperatures Thursday afternoon with mostly sunny skies.

The first of a series of wet weather systems will take aim at Western Washington on Saturday with light showers by the afternoon in the Puget Sound area. Showers will start on the coast in the morning. Snow levels will still be high at this point of the weekend, so no issues are expected over the main lower mountain passes.

Another system will impact the region Tuesday into Wednesday. This could bring another round of stormy weather. We will be watching that as we get closer.
