I thought my forecasts have been turning out so well lately, and then yesterday happened. “Upper 50s” turned into a high of 47°. Brrrrrrrrrr! Sure, it was dry outside – small victory, but we couldn’t shake the clouds which kept the cold air from the night before trapped. Here are Monday’s high temps from the region.

I mean check out Seattle almost topping 60°. I’m thrilled to death for them lol, but what a huge bummer for us. Now I’m having to downgrade Wed – Fri too. These 3 days were suppose to be “nice and dry with highs in the 60s,” I looked back and that’s actually what I said, but sadly that is no longer the case.

Both Wednesday and Thursday should still see a fair amount of sunbreaks with Wednesday being the sunniest day, but temps will probably top out just shy of 60°. The other bad news is that there is a slight chance of a PM shower both days. Most of us should stay dry each day, but our totally dry days are now threatened by a few isolated showers. With that said, Wednesday and Thursday are your best bet for dry weather for the foreseeable future, and the majority of the region will in fact be pretty dry, so make the most of these two days.

Friday’s forecast really went down the drain. Showers and light rain will increase through the day keeping temps in the upper 40s.

If you were hoping for dry weather than you should have stopped reading a long time ago haha. Saturday and Sunday look very similar to what we just saw this past weekend with breezy winds, downpours, hail showers and heavy snow in the mountains. Travel through the Cascades Friday evening through the first half of next week looks to be very snowy. Tons of new snow on the way for the mountains beginning on Friday.

So, enjoy the “mostly dry days” and the “almost 60 degree highs,” on Wednesday and Thursday lol, and find time to relax, smile, and remind yourself that warmer weather will eventually return. Look for another update later in the week with more details regarding our return to cold and stormy weather.
