Parade of Active Weather for Western Washington

A rainy and breezy (possibly windy) week is ahead for Western Washington. Let’s dive into the details!

Rain will move into Western Washington late Monday night/early Tuesday morning, and will continue through Tuesday evening, tapering by early Wednesday morning. Here’s the UW precipitation forecast through 4 AM Wednesday.


Expect 0.3-1.3 inches of rain through this timeframe. 

Another focus on Tuesday will be wind. Take a look at the blend of 4 forecast models for Puyallup. (Big numbers=sustained winds, small numbers=gusts)


Winds will gust 25-40 mph around the area on Tuesday. Due to the part of the season we’re in, I expect these winds will be more of a nuisance than anything else...but still be prepared.

Temperatures on Tuesday will remain in the range of 40-47 degrees.

Wednesday looks to start off calm, but another round of rain will move in midday, along with some breezy to windy conditions lasting into Thursday.


Expect another 0.15-0.7 inches of rain from 4 AM Wednesday to 4 AM Thursday.

Winds from Wednesday evening to Thursday evening look to be near the same as the last system, so I’d expect winds gusting 25-40 mph from Wednesday evening to Thursday evening.

Thursday looks to be a break in the action, with only scattered showers.

Perhaps the most impactful weather takes aim at the region from Friday to Sunday, when 0.5-2 inches of rain and winds of 40-55 mph are possible. Uncertainty remains regarding timing and details, but stay tuned for updates!
