Cooler & Wetter Weekend Ahead

After a week that included a late spring heat wave, a weekend of cooler and wetter weather is in store, along with some breezy conditions. Let’s get the rundown!

Below is the rain forecast from the UW model through 5 AM Monday.


These are some potentially big totals for this time of year. Most of the area will receive 0.1 to 0.3 inches, but a band stretching SW-NE across the South Sound (look near Tacoma) has the potential to receive over a half inch of rain.

Now...when will it rain? A weaker front with scattered showers and breezy conditions will move through on Friday night, bringing cooler temperatures and breezy winds. The wind forecast for Saturday in Puyallup is below.


Expect winds gusting 20-35 mph on Saturday. The South Sound won’t receive much rain on Saturday, a few scattered showers at most. There is also a 10-20% chance of thunderstorms from 11 AM to 4 PM Saturday.

A stronger front with more rain will move through on Sunday. This front is potent...especially for June. Expect more rain (the potential heavier rain discussed earlier) with this system. There is a 10-20% chance of thunderstorms from 2 PM to 8 PM Sunday. Be prepared!

Below is the Weather Underground forecast for Puyallup.

A cool weekend is expected. Temperatures stay in the upper 50s to low 60s on the weekend. Temperatures increase to the mid 60s to start next week. Expect a chance of showers on most days...our current pattern (trough offshore) is conducive to a lot of showers.
