Rain eases for a quick breather Tuesday, then the moisture plume lifts north again and reloads the buckets. Flood risk stays high. Breezy nights, warm days in the 50s. Tomorrow looks like today but grumpier.

Heavy rain parks over western Washington with 3 to 6 inches south of the city and double digits in the mountains. Gusts hit 50 to 55 mph on the coast. Rivers swell all day. Snow sneaks into the higher passes as the plume wobbles south Tuesday.

Tonight keeps the rain steady. Monday adds wind with gusts flirting with 40 mph, plus flood risks rising fast as rivers swell. The plume sags south by evening then snaps north Tuesday because the sky has strong opinions about dramatic pacing.

Rain settles in and makes itself comfortable with 1 to 2 inches piling up in the Cascades and lighter totals in the lowlands. The real trouble arrives Monday as a powerful atmospheric river aims a deep plume south of Seattle and tries to outdo every previous mess.

Minor coastal flooding hangs around through the weekend while another system rolls in Sunday. Monday is the main event as the atmospheric river opens the tap and forgets to close it. Heavy rain all day, then a Tuesday reload for extra misery.

Winds still flexing this morning with gusts near 50 along the coast. Convergence zone moodiness up north. Cascades grab 2 to 5 inches of rain and double digit snow at the passes. Snoqualmie toys with a wintry mix just to keep everyone guessing.

Showers ease tonight, but only for a moment. Another system drops in Sunday morning with more rain and falling snow levels. Highs hover in the 50s. The warm up act ends soon, because the atmospheric river is waiting backstage with a floodlight. Flood... literally.

Rain marches in from the northwest and parks itself over us all day. Cascades grab 2 to 3 inches, coast grabs 1 to 3, and Stevens Pass flirts with white out conditions later. Gusts hit 30 to 35 mph, so enjoy that premium horizontal rain.

Cold front rolls in Friday and tries to rearrange your outdoor plans. Gusts hit 20 to 30 mph near the coast and Strait. Snow piles up in the Cascades with 10 to 12 inches at Stevens, even more near Baker. Weekend stays wet, loud, and generally rude.

Warm front taps the faucet and leaves it running. Expect a nice 0.25 to 0.5 inch Puget Sound rinse while the Cascades take 2 to 4 inches. Highs in the upper 40s. Snow stays high for now, then chills to 4000 ft Saturday. Basically, bring waterproof everything.

Rain creeps in after midnight, mostly north, lows near 40. Thursday brings steady rain, mild winds, highs in the mid 40s to low 50s. Friday ramps up with the strongest system of the week, rising snow levels, plus high tides flirting with coastal flooding.

Cloud blanket stays glued on today. Patchy fog lurking, temps crawling through the mid 40s. Northwest corner gets brushed by a warm front later today. Zero vibe, zero sun, full gray commitment. Tomorrow’s cold front gets louder.

Nice! Soak it up.

Tonight brings a cloud cocoon with fog in the Southwest Interior, lows in the mid 30s to low 40s. Wednesday sees a weak warm front brushing the northwest corner. Thursday goes all in with region wide rain and highs in the mid 40s to low 50s.

Light rain slides south through Snohomish, King, and the islands this morning, then fizzles out. Clouds stay glued to the ceiling with only a hint of clearing on the North Coast. Highs hit the mid 40s to low 50s, a perfect temperature for questioning your life choices.

Another mild system drifts through tonight with light rain and temps stuck in the upper 30s to mid 40s. Tuesday dries out north of Seattle by afternoon, although the sky refuses to brighten. Wednesday stays cloudy under a lazy ridge, cool again in the mid 40s. Think of it as atmospheric gray noise.

A flimsy morning system drifts in like a browser tab you forgot to close. High clouds everywhere, almost no actual rain, and maybe a pity flurry in Whatcom or Skagit if the atmosphere gets bored. Fog bails by late morning. Temps loaf around the mid 40s, equally unimpressed.
