Seattle Forecast: Tuesday, May 13, 2008

Highs: 55-60

Rain

Lows: 46-52

Scattered Showers

Rain Today But The Sun Returns Wednesday

A warm front is poised just off the coast this morning, giving us a gray start to the day. Light rain should move in during the morning and continue through the afternoon as the warm front sits over the state. The front will weaken a bit tonight changing the steady rain to more off and on showers.

High pressure off the coast strengthens quickly on Wednesday forcing the front to the north of Washington for clearing later on Wednesday. The high should build inland into the weekend with an increasing offshore flow. This should push temperatures to near 80 on Thursday and the mid 80�s on the Friday. .

The offshore winds should keep temperatures in the 80�s for Saturday, though clouds may begin to push into the coast. Some marine air will filter in on Sunday for a few clouds and cooler temperatures dropping back into the 70�s. A weak front will increase the onshore flow early in the week for a light chance of showers and temperatures back into the 60�s.

Rain At Times

Warmer Air Starting To Move In

Really Warm By The End Of The Week!

Today we are getting read to see a pretty wet warm front move into the Northwest. Most of the rain will stick to western Washington and northwestern Oregon today, but showers will increase for most spots this afternoon and evening. This pattern is part of the set up process for us to see some very hot weather by the end of the week.

Look for increasing rain for spots west this morning, really picking up late this morning. Then we can expect the rain to stick with us for the rest of the day. Warm fronts typically bring in light but steady precipitation for longer periods of time...VS cold fronts that bring in heavier precipitation for shorter amounts of time. So then, expect areas of rain west, pushing east through the day. That being said, if you are in southern Oregon today, like Medford, you should stay mostly dry.

Temperatures won't be all that warm today, but tomorrow the warm up starts. In fact, the showers will be on the decrease tomorrow and the sunshine will start moving back in. Thursday the really hot weather will move back in, and stay with us through Saturday. We have a legitimate chance to break or tie some records across the Northwest through Saturday. Into Sunday a cooler more marine or ocean air mass will start to move in for more clouds and cooler weather. Enjoy!
Have a great Tuesday!
