Discussion:
Warmer but cloudier on Friday? Sure. Temps warm into the 70s in some spots courtesy of weak high pressure.
That high pressure is moving east of the Cascades by Friday afternoon allowing a warm front to spread rain back into Puget Sound on Friday evening.
The warm front will stall over western Washington for a rainy Saturday for the Windermere Cup and opening day of boating season. Highs will drop back to the mid 50s most places.
The front will dissipate and move east early Sunday but leave behind cool showery air for off and on showers mixed with sunbreaks Sunday and Monday.
Limited showers with more sunbreaks Tuesday and Wednesday with a slight warm up as highs inch back into the upper 50s and low 60s.
Look for drying and warming as we head into mid and late next week with sunshine taking back over as highs climb well into the 60s. 70s are likely next weekend!
