Seattle Weather: Light Showers on Sunday

Seattle weather: tracking another atmospheric river on the way

FOX 13 meteorologist Ilona McCauley has the latest forecast.

We got a much-needed break from the rain on Saturday and got to enjoy a beautiful sunset.  Rivers are still running very high with many road closures still in effect. 

Enjoyed a dry day on Saturday with a beautiful sunset.

Light rain will return by Sunday morning, but the day certainly won't be a washout. Still, any rain will interrupt flooding recovery efforts and will continue the risk of landslides.  A second atmospheric river ramping up on Monday. 

Light showers return on Sunday ahead for the next Atmospheric River. 

If you are heading out to Lumen Field for Sunday's game, be prepared for some passing showers. Clouds will continue to increase throughout the game with more widespread rain by early Monday morning.

While Monday's rain could lead to river flooding again into Tuesday and Wednesday, it likely won't be exactly as impactful as last week's. However, communities that were already hit hard by flooding could see rising waters again. 

Some good news: it looks like this atmospheric river pattern won't be as persistent. Plus, cooler air will arrive by late Tuesday. This will convert rain over the mountains to snow — which in turn will decrease the amount of runoff from the mountains downstream into rivers. In turn, there could be snowy traveling concerns into the middle part of the week along the mountain passes.

After a much-needed break from the rain the last couple of days, it returns early in the week.
