WEATHER DISCUSSION:
Coming off of a wild weather day, things will be much calmer for your Sunday. The main storm is gone, but a trough of low pressure lingers in the Northwest much of this week leaving us with frequent chances for showers. It’s a pattern that rivals that of late September or October.
Pockets of instability may generate some morning rumbles of thunder, especially over the south sound. Showers look to break up a bit this afternoon along with a few sunbreaks. Temperatures remain below average with highs ranging from the mid 60s to near 70. Our average high for this time of the year is 75° at Sea-Tac.
A reinforcing front approaches late Monday with increasing rain and wind Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning. Highs all next week will range from the mid 60s to near 70, so it will be a cool start to September.
It looks like we return to drier weather toward the end of the week on Friday possibly extending into the weekend.
