A frontal system is bringing the rain back to the Pacific Northwest. I don’t know about you but I was awakened by a rather loud thunderstorm this morning. A heavy rain shower followed the booms of thunder. Rain will be likely this morning changing to off and on showers this afternoon high 59. There will be a slight chance of showers this evening then clearing. Fog and low clouds will appear late at night and Thursday morning with a mix of clouds and sun for the afternoon and a high near 65. Rain will be likely again on Friday high 60. Saturday looks like it could be dry with a mix of clouds and sun high 63. A 50% chance of showers Sunday and a high near 60. Look for showers to be likely again Monday and just a touch cooler. Tuesday will see a 50% chance of showers and a high in the mid to upper 50s.
