FOX 13 Meteorologist Ilona McCauley has your latest western Washington weather forecast.
SEATTLE - After enjoying plenty of sunshine and warmth for the last couple of days, a weak disturbance and front will swing through western Washington overnight Friday and early Saturday. Light rain will begin along the coast on Friday afternoon, but much of Puget Sound will be rainshadowed till early Saturday morning. Most spots will see drier conditions by the afternoon, except areas along the convergence zone.

A weak disturbance will push through tomorrow, bringing back light showers in the morning.
What's next:
We enjoyed highs in the 70s on Thursday and Friday, but they will take a bit of a dip on Saturday into the 50s. Winds will be breezy at times behind the cold front.

A cooler day is forecast for Saturday as a weak front passes through.
Boating season kicks off this weekend, but while the temperatures may be mild on some days, the water remains dangerously cold.

Water remains dangerously cold for the opening of boating season this weekend.
After some cooler showers on Saturday, Seattle will get back to sunshine and warmer temperatures next week. Tuesday's highs will be nearing 80 degrees, making that day the warmest we've seen so far this year.
