Chance of Wintry Mix Sunday Night, Dry Until Thursday

Sunday has been a cool and rainy day, with 0.1-0.3 inches of rain across most of the area.

What a contrast from Saturday, which was the warmest day of 2021 so far, with widespread highs of 60-65 degrees. Observed high temperatures are below.

I hope you took advantage of the beautiful weather on Saturday! I took this photo in the Enumclaw area. 

Mount Rainier and our plentiful snowpack was on full display!

As the weather system moves out Sunday night into Monday, there is a chance of rain/snow mix or brief wet snow. Accumulations, if any, will be minimal with no impacts.

Looking ahead at the Puyallup forecast, partly cloudy conditions are likely through Wednesday. Highs warm up to the low 60s by Wednesday. Expect chilly mornings (lows 28-34 degrees) on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

Rain returns on Thursday as we enter a wetter pattern.

Large Temperature Contrast & Low Humidity On Friday, Rain Arrives Sunday

Friday was a beautiful day around the Puget Sound area, with plentiful sunshine!

You might have noticed a large temperature contrast throughout the day, with frost in the morning and warm sun in the afternoon.

Additionally, the afternoon was quite dry, with humidity plummeting to as low as 20%, the lowest we’ve seen since the fire weather/smoke event last September. Friday’s minimum humidity readings are below.

Humidity dropped to 15-40% around the region. If your throat was dry on Friday, this is why!

Taking a look at the Puyallup forecast from Weather Underground, we see that a nice day is in store for Saturday, with highs of 60+ degrees possible!

Be prepared for another chilly morning on Saturday, with lows of 28-35 degrees.

Expect increasing clouds through the day Saturday, and rain returns on Sunday. Dry weather returns for the start of next week. 

Also, Daylight Saving Time begins at 2 AM Sunday. This means we “spring forward.” Be sure to set your clocks to the correct time!

Beautiful Days Ahead!

We are heading for a couple beautiful days here in Western Washington! Below is a graphic from NWS Seattle showing expected weather for the next 5 days.

Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will be the best days in awhile, with warm temperatures and plenty of sun!

A key point is that it will be quite chilly in the mornings on Thursday and Friday, with lows dipping to the upper 20s/low 30s across most of the area.

Below is the Puyallup forecast from Weather Underground.

Rain returns by Sunday, but look at the great days ahead! Highs of 55-65 degrees are likely through Saturday! 

Any frost overnight and in the morning will thaw quickly with the warming temperatures. Be prepared for patchy morning fog on Thursday and Friday. If fog is present, it’ll burn off within a couple hours!

Enjoy the sunny weather!!
