A few thunderstorms around the Olympic Peninsula Thursday evening produced a handful of lightning strikes, but no damage was reported.
Isolated thunderstorms continue to be possible Friday on the coast and then in the Puget Sound area Saturday.
Rain will be a daily event throughout the weekend.
The estimated rainfall total for the week along the coast is 4 to 8 inches and up to 3 inches in the lower-lying areas. This could cause problems for city drains. Fall leaves will likely get blown off with these storms, which may cause minor urban flooding.
A cold front moving through the Puget Sound region is also expected to bring gusty winds to the Northwest Interior.
The wet pattern will continue through the middle of next week, according to KING 5 Meteorologist Rich Marriott.
