Seattle weather: Warming up after showers

FOX 13 Seattle Meteorologist Claire Anderson has your latest western Washington weather forecast.

Heavy showers will move through early Tuesday morning before turning more scattered into the afternoon. The low pressure system that has been bringing us this rain and cool temperatures has moved on shore and will bring more instability by this afternoon. There will also likely be a Puget Sound Convergence Zone that sets up around Snohomish County, bringing the chance of heavy rain and lightning.
