In the wake of a massive trade, sending star Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson to Denver, it appears that Denver is helping Seattle cope by sending some of its weather to Seattle. 

Take a look at the European model forecast for low temperatures on Thursday morning (shown below).

Expect lows in the mid to upper 20s across the lowlands. In Eastern Washington and the Cascades, expect lows in the upper teens to mid 20s. 

This pattern will change by Saturday. Expect a rainy few days from Saturday to Monday. Precipitation through Tuesday is below (from the European model).

Expect 1.4 to 2.5 inches of rain around the lowlands. 3-5 inches are possible on the coast. Importantly, Eastern Washington will receive 0.4 to 1.1 inches of rain, with even more in the mountains! This is beneficial, as the region still remains in drought.

Stay tuned for more information about the upcoming active pattern!
