Tuesday remains breezy and showery in Seattle, warmer weather ahead

Seattle - Another wet and breezy weather system will push through the Pacific Northwest Tuesday, but drier and sunny conditions are right around the corner.

This system will not bring as much heavy widespread rain as the last storm, but you can expect on and off showers through Tuesday in Western Washington. The heaviest rain will fall in the mountains, where we could see one to two inches.

The big weather story this spring was the lack of rain. It was drier than average each month this spring. Seattle rainfall ended up over four inches below average. Snowpack suffered this spring as a result.

It should be noted that two days are missing in the precipitation data from April due to issues with the gauge at the airport. One of those days, we did get rain. While the number isn't quite that low in April, it's still well below average for the month.
