As for what’s ahead back in the lowlands, temperatures will remain mild, with highs in the 50s and lows in the 40s, but rain is in the forecast each day through the coming week.
The National Weather Service in Seattle forecasts a wet weather system moving through Western Washington today (Saturday) with a “much more active” system developing Sunday and continuing into next week with rain, localized areas of gusty winds and mountain snow.
Snow levels are forecast initially around 5,000-6,500 feet Sunday night before lowering to 3,500-4,500 feet later Monday into Tuesday for higher elevation mountain snow.
Wind gusts of up to 35 mph are possible Sunday night along the coast.
From late Tuesday into Thursday a possibly stronger system is forecast for the region, bringing more rain, mountain snow and more localized breezy conditions, particularly at the coast and in areas north of Everett.
Flood conditions on the Skokomish River are expected this week, while other rivers, especially in central Cascades, also could experience flooding.
Along with the coastal wind expected, the weather service also warns of potential for high surf notably Monday night-Tuesday, and coastal flooding later next week from Thursday into the weekend.
