A big change from our six-day stretch of 70s last week! We also had some stronger gusts around 30+ mph around the metro yesterday afternoon.

This means Friday was the sixth consecutive day of 70°+. However, it’s time to go back to “normal” with temperatures floating in the upper 50s and low 60s all weekend. Weak offshore flow is bringing cooler air and a chance for a light shower early this Saturday morning.

    • None On/off showers through most of the day• None Mix of showers and sun this weekAfter a beautiful day Saturday, the rain has returned... A front is passing through this morning, bringing waves of showers throughout the day. The metro and valleys could pick up 0.50-1″ today with higher totals expected on western-facing slopes of the Coast Range and Cascades. There should be a few breaks here or there to get outside but bring your rain gear along.
