Rainy & Breezy Early in the Week

What a contrast of weather this weekend...sunny and beautiful on Saturday, then cold and rainy on Sunday. Expect some more rain and breezy conditions at times this week, with more mountain snow as well.

Take a look at this amazing picture that Gunner H. captured at Paradise on Saturday!


Beautiful...and notice all the snow on Mount Rainier. We’ll talk about the snow forecast soon.

Below is a 5-day outlook from NWS Seattle showing our expected weather.


We have already received 4-6 inches of rain this month in the lowlands, and another 0.3-0.5 inches are likely through Wednesday morning, with the most rain on Tuesday. (UW forecast model below).


Additional mountain snow is also likely...good news if you are a winter recreation fan! The accurate UW snow forecast model shows 4-12 inches at the passes and 16-30 inches on the higher peaks through Wednesday afternoon.


Expect another breezy day Tuesday into Wednesday, with gusts of 20-40 mph likely.

After Wednesday, rain chances decrease and the weather will likely calm down. Expect a dry day on Thanksgiving, with highs in the mid-upper 40s and lows in the upper 30s-low 40s.
