Discussion:
An overnight convergence zone gave showers to Snohomish and northern King Counties, but it is gradually weakening and the showers should end by mid to late morning. Away from the convergence zone, skies are already clearing, and we should see a partly to mostly sunny afternoon.
Saturday, another weather system will drop down from the north for more clouds and a chance rain, especially during the afternoon. Much cooler air will follow this front dropping highs Saturday into the mid to upper 50s in many places. Snow levels will drop to 3,500-4,500 feet.
Sunday will see skies clear to more sun and only a slight chance of an early morning shower. Monday looks dry and sunny. High temperatures will be at or a little below the normal mid 60s.
A stronger, more organized weather system swings into western Washington on Tuesday for a round of steady rain that should turn to off and on showers on Tuesday followed by showers and sunbreaks next Wednesday. Highs both days will be cool for this time of year with highs in the upper 50s to low 60s.
For the end of next week as we approach the Memorial Day Weekend, the long-range models are hinting at partly sunny skies for the Holiday weekend, but there may be a chance of mountain showers, especially in the afternoons.
