Next System To Bring Rain & Breezy Conditions On Wednesday

Tuesday was a dry day under a high pressure ridge. High clouds increased through the afternoon, a sign of an incoming weather system. Wednesday will bring rain and breezy conditions, along with some mountain snow.

The UW forecast model below shows a slight rain shadow over the Lowlands, with 0.1-0.3 inches of rain likely, but more possible in some spots.


Additionally, it will be breezy on Wednesday due to a front moving through. The wind forecast for Puyallup is below.


Expect gusts of 20-35 mph, mainly around midday.

This system will also bring some mountain snow, adding to the very plentiful snowpack.


The graphic above from NWS Seattle shows expected accumulations at the passes.

Let’s take a look at the upcoming days. Here’s the trusty Weather Underground forecast for Puyallup.


Wednesday is the rainiest day, with showers on Thursday, mainly in the morning. Expect mostly dry days on Friday and Saturday, then rain with the next brief system on Sunday. Dry conditions return on Monday.
