Drier and Sunnier Weather, With Rain on the Weekend

It has been very wet so far this June in Western Washington. Most locations have more than their average monthly rainfall, and we are only halfway through the month. But don’t worry, sunny weather is here...for a few days!

It will be mostly sunny Wednesday and Thursday (with some morning clouds likely) and highs will reach the lower to mid 70s! Here is the UW forecast model for high temperatures at 6:00 PM on Thursday, which looks to be the warmest day! Refer to the key on the bottom to see what colors mean.



Most areas climb to around 72 degrees, but some isolated locations will reach 80 degrees! Enjoy it! Clouds move in on Friday, but highs still climb to around 75!

Then...the rain returns. Of course, it’s on the weekend. I’m sure you’re not surprised. Here’s a look at how much rain to expect through the weekend, ending on Sunday.



Our area is in the rain shadow due to the direction of the flow, but most of the South Sound picks up 0.2-0.4 inches of rain. That’s a decent amount for a summer system, and it will add on to the 2-4 inches that have already fallen this June. 

Your grass will stay green for awhile longer than normal, and the wildfire danger is currently low! That is good news for the mountains!

During this rainy couple days, highs will remain near 70 degrees, and at times there will be sun breaks! Clouds will begin to move out late Sunday.

But do not worry...sun returns on Monday! Forecasts show mostly sunny weather returning for the start of the next week, with highs of 70-75, maybe higher for next week!
