Friday Night Update

Widespread rain is moving onshore and into Western Washington. Below is the 9:50 PM radar image from the WA Coast radar. The associated frontal system is pushing rain onshore.


Lots of rain will move onshore through the night and into the morning. Rounds of moderate to heavy rain along with possible gusty winds (25-40 mph) are likely though Friday night into Saturday morning. 

Here is the UW model forecast for rain through 5 PM Saturday.


It is a safe bet to expect 0.5-1.3 inches of rain through Saturday evening. 

There is also a chance of thunderstorms on Saturday. The air behind the previous frontal system will be unstable. Expect scattered showers with downpours and possible thunder/lightning and small hail. 

Here is Saturday's forecast from the Euro model for Puyallup. (Expect similar conditions across the South Sound).


Additional rain and winds gusting 20-40 mph are likely on Saturday.

I will have another update tomorrow regarding weather on Sunday and Monday.
