Cool and showery is still the general theme of the forecast but Mother Nature is giving us a break just in time for at least part of the holiday weekend.
Until then though, expect showers to continue overnight with some moderate in intensity at times, especially in the usual convergence zone area in Snohomish County. Lows will be in the mid-upper 40s.
Thursday is more of the same -- showers and sunbreaks, although the atmosphere looks a bit more unstable so we'll carry a risk of a few scattered thunderstorms as well. Highs will once again struggle to reach 60.
But the weather shenanigans taper off for Friday as this cool trough of low pressure exits the region. Instead, we'll see a sunnier day with highs in the mid 60s.
Saturday is still the champion for those who are eager to crown the warmest day of the next seven. We're expecting mostly sunny skies with temperatures climbing into the upper 60s -- maybe even a few 70s.
A few isolated showers return for Sunday as a weak front moves through and that will also drop highs back to the mid 60s.
Monday qualifies as the cloudiest day of the three day weekend with more in the way of bonafide showers. We'll cool back to the low-mid 60s as a result.
Long range models have changed their tune, going from a brief sunny and warm spell to maintaining cool and showery. With the wide range in forecasts, we'll trend toward normal with a slight lean to the cool and showery for now with highs in the low-mid 60s.
