FastCast--Saturday, March 30 to Thursday, April 4:
A high pressure ridge will bring beautiful weather to the Pacific Northwest over Easter weekend and into the first couple days of April. Expect a mostly sunny Easter weekend, with highs in the lowlands in the upper 50s in the north to the low to mid 60s in the south. Lows will be a tad bit chilly, likely in the upper 30s to mid 40s. By Monday, highs will increase to the mid 60s in the lowlands, further increasing to the upper 60s on Tuesday. A system will move in by Wednesday, and high temperatures will crash by 10-20°. Additionally, this will bring a chance of showers on Wednesday for the lowlands. Thursday will be partly sunny, with highs in the mid 50s.

A beautiful Easter weekend is ahead for the Northwest due to a large high pressure ridge. This will bring warmer temperatures and mostly sunny conditions!
First, let's take a look at the NWS NBM forecast for highs on Saturday.
Expect lowland highs in the mid to upper 50s from Everett northward and in the low 60s from Everett southward. The coast will reach the mid to upper 50s, the Willamette Valley will reach the low to mid 60s, and Eastern Washington will reach the mid 50s to mid 60s.
Next, let's take a look at highs on Easter Sunday, also from the NWS NBM forecast.
Expect Easter Sunday highs to reach the low 60s across the lowlands, the upper 50s on the coast, the low to mid 60s in the Willamette Valley, and in the upper 50s to mid 60s in Eastern Washington.
On Monday, temperatures will increase across the state. Below is the NWS NBM forecast.
There's a noticeable increase (except on the coast). The lowlands will reach the mid 60s, with isolated areas in the upper 60s. The coast will actually cool down to the low to mid 50s. The Willamette Valley will reach the mid to upper 60s, and Eastern Washington will reach the mid 60s to mid 70s (warmest on the western side of the Columbia Basin).
This warmth is all due to a strong high pressure ridge that will be centered over the Northwest. Below is the European model forecast showing the ridge on Monday.
This forecast shows the ridge centered just offshore of Washington, a great location for nice warm conditions that aren't too hot. Enjoy the pleasant Easter weekend & warm start to April!
