The rainiest day of this spring so far is expected on Thursday. But, before we get there...expect a mostly cloudy & dry day on Wednesday, with highs of 65-70 degrees.
The precipitation chance increases late Wednesday night, and will continue through early Friday. Below is the UW forecast for precipitation through 5 AM Friday.
Expect 0.3 to 0.75 inches of rain in the South Central Sound. This, along with rain in SW WA and the Willamette Valley, will help to alleviate some of the drought (any rain is helpful)!
Additionally, a breezy to locally windy day is likely with frontal passage on Thursday, with breezy conditions continuing into Friday. The Puyallup wind forecast is below.
Expect winds gusting 25-35 mph from midday Thursday to Friday morning. Notice that 2 forecast models show winds gusting 40-45 mph on Thursday. While that is not very likely, remember that the outlier can be correct sometimes...so be prepared for stronger winds.
I will do a short update Wednesday night about the Thursday weather outlook, so stay tuned!
Now...let’s take a look at the forecast. (All from Weather Underground for Puyallup).
Wednesday will be in the upper 60s-low 70s. Thursday will be colder, with highs possibly staying below 60 degrees. Then, temperatures slowly rebound, reaching the mid 60s on Friday, then low to mid 70s on Saturday, and finally 80 degrees by Sunday!
The warmth doesn’t stop there...below is the forecast for the start of June.
Looks like “June Gloom” will be on an extended Memorial Day vacation. Speaking of which, you’re probably amazed that it will be dry, sunny, and 80+ degrees on Memorial Day in Western Washington! Let’s just say that doesn’t usually happen in our neck of the woods.
