Seattle, WA – Western Washington will see a dramatic shift in weather this weekend, as heavy rain and possible thunderstorms target the Seattle area by Monday. Drivers along I-5 should prepare for slick pavement and reduced visibility during the Monday morning and evening commutes.
According to the National Weather Service, widespread showers will develop Sunday into Monday, with the heaviest rain falling between late morning and mid-afternoon Monday. Some storms could produce brief downpours, making travel challenging in King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties. Rainfall amounts will generally stay below half an inch, but isolated thunderstorms could deliver higher totals in short bursts.
Seattle’s Monday high will reach near 70 degrees before a drying trend begins Tuesday. By early next week, a stretch of calmer, sunnier weather will take hold across the region, though low clouds and patchy fog may linger overnight…
