Weekend Weather: Weak Pineapple Express
SEATTLE - On Saturday, we tracked a weak atmospheric river in Seattle. This particular type of atmospheric river is sometimes referred to as a ‘Pineapple Express.' This means it taps into tropical moisture near the Hawaiian Islands.
Western Washington experienced dark, murky skies, breezy conditions, and periods of moderate to heavy rain, with highs in the low to mid-50s. Our team monitored for isolated gusts to 40+ mph in the typical areas on Saturday.
Thankfully, we’re not expecting river flooding this week, including today. However, the Skokomish River in Mason County could approach minor flood stage this weekend and will be monitored closely.
Quieter weather is in store for Seattle on Sunday and Monday. (FOX 13 Seattle / FOX 13 Seattle)
Super Bowl Sunday weather for western Washington
Early Sunday, temperatures will tumble to the mid 40s in Seattle. Sunday stays partly sunny, but showers will be far fewer and more isolated. Any rain mainly favors the Oregon state line — with only stray showers elsewhere.

For the Seahawks in Santa Clara for Super Bowl Sunday, we expect partly sunny skies, mild temperatures, and dry weather. Perfect weather for playing some football!
Early Next Week
Showers continue to taper off Monday, though light to moderate mountain snow is possible for some passes and ski resorts by Monday morning.
