Up to an inch of rain is likely through Friday, with the heaviest rain on Friday morning. The UW model’s 48 hour precipitation total is 0.3-0.7 inches of rain for the South Sound. More is definitely possible, with a more likely estimate being 0.5-1.2 inches.
By Friday afternoon, rain will turn to scattered showers and will be less widespread. Showers could linger through Saturday.
To go along with Friday morning’s heavy rain, winds gusting 20-45 mph are likely as well. A fast-moving frontal system impacting our area tomorrow is responsible for these winds.
Here is the Euro model’s wind gust forecast for Puyallup at 11 AM Friday.
Expect winds to increase early in the morning (4-6 AM), peaking from 8 AM-12 PM. Winds will gradually decrease throughout the afternoon.
It’ll likely be a stormy commute for most people on Friday morning. Winds will peak with gusts of 35-45 mph. Be prepared for tree damage and localized power outages, since this storm is still early in the season.
