Seattle forecast: Warmer, wetter weather ahead

FOX 13 meteorologist Claire Anderson has your seven-day forecast. 

A Flood Watch remains in effect for parts of Western Washington through Friday afternoon. Flood Warnings continue for several rivers until Saturday evening or Sunday morning as some are expected to reach moderate flood stage. The threat of landslides also remains high over the next several days due to the heavy rain and soil instability; recent burn scar areas could be the most unstable.

What's next:

It will be another wet start to the day Friday, with plenty of standing water and high snow levels to start the day. Showers will turn more scattered into the afternoon as a cold front sweeps through by Friday evening. Skies will start to dry out, but the colder air with the front will drop snow levels again to around 2000-3000', bringing a few snowflakes back to the mountains.

A few showers are possible early Saturday for the central Puget Sound due to a convergence zone. The models are going back and forth on a weak system sweeping in from British Columbia on Sunday, which will most likely bring a few sprinkles to areas in the north. Dry skies continue Monday, but another round of showers is expected by midweek.
