Rain is arriving and tracking across Olympia and up to Tacoma. Tonight the rain continues moving northward to Seattle and eventually up to Bellingham. It will be a night of light rain at times. Sunset 7:20p.m. and in the morning expect areas of rain, low temperatures in the low to mid 40s, sunrise at 7:12 a.m.

Monday will be cloudy with areas of steady rain, until late morning, when it changes to off and on rain showers. A Puget Sound Convergence Zone is expected to develop and keep persistent showers through the afternoon. Temperatures will be 10 degrees cooler! Highs will be near 50.

Rain showers will continue through Monday night. Tuesday morning any showers, the convergence zone, will ease and end. Skies clear to partly sunny Tuesday afternoon and high temperatures will get into the low to mid 50s.

The rain moving in for Sunday overnight is brought by a cold front that leads in a cooler trough of low pressure that continues the showers. Tuesday afternoon, high pressure returns and clears skies to partly to mostly sunny at times through Wednesday evening. High temperatures respond to the Spring sun by warming into the mid to upper 50s again. It's too brief.

A much, cooler, showery trough of low pressure drives in below normal temperatures and rain showers with a risk of thunderstorms both Thursday and Friday to end our week. High temperatures will be back into the 40s and lows in the mid to upper 30s on these days. Even with partly sunny skies each day the clouds will be ominous looking as some showers will be heavy with downpours, graupel or small hail, and gusty wind.
