Seattle weather: Rain returns to western Washington
Rain returns for the first time since June to western Washington. It will be a wet start to the day, but sunbreaks will return for some into the afternoon.
SEATTLE - The Seattle region is expected to experience the most rain the area has seen since June 21.
This afternoon, there's a small chance for locally heavy downpours, isolated lightning and small hail. However, it's important to note: it's not going to be raining constantly today. There will still be plenty of dry hours as well - especially this afternoon in Seattle and the South Sound.
After a rainy start, slightly stormy weather is a possibility north of Seattle on Wednesday afternoon. (FOX 13 Seattle)
Highs this afternoon will be noticeably cooler than the average, lifting only to the upper 60s to the low 70s. You can plan on mostly cloudy skies, a few late afternoon sunbreaks and slightly breezy conditions.
Highs will be about ten degrees below average in Seattle on Wednesday as mostly cloudy weather continues. (FOX 13 Seattle)
