Seattle weather: Cloudy skies, dry weather for Monday
Monday will bring mostly cloudy skies but dry weather, providing a quiet transition before the next weather system arrives.
SEATTLE - Overnight lows will not be as chilly tonight as clouds continue to increase throughout the evening. Most places will cool to near 40 degrees by early Tuesday morning.
Not as cool overnight with increasing clouds throughout the evening.
Seattle's first spring storm of the year
While we enjoyed a dry Monday afternoon and evening, clouds continued to increase ahead of our first Spring storm of the season. Rain will pick up shortly after midnight in the interior lowlands. Snow levels will begin to drop with a light dusting possible in some of our mountain passes. The main issues will be widespread rain and gusty winds in some spots.
Snow levels will be around 5,000 to 6,000 feet. We will see rivers rise a bit, but flooding is not expected. Urban flooding on roadways (big puddles) is possible at times during the morning commute.
Our first spring storm arrives early Tuesday morning with chances of rain and mountain snow.
Big picture view:
Winds begin calm to light late Monday, but are forecast to become gusty throughout Tuesday in some of the usual locations (Washington coast, north interior, Whidbey Island). In those areas, we could see 40–50 mph gusts. For most, in the central and south Puget Sound, it will just be a very wet and breezy day with gusts topping out in the 30–40 mph range.
Mainly calm winds tonight, but gusty by Tuesday afternoon.
What's next:
A convergence zone could bring additional showers and snow near Stevens Pass on Wednesday before the region begins to dry out again. Right now, Mariners' Opening Day is looking nice with drier skies and highs in the low 50s.
