Widespread showers, wind heading to western WA by late Saturday

But we got a lot of weather to talk about. So this morning, temperatures in this dry, calm start to the day, 50 degrees right now in Tacoma. We've got 49 in Olympia, currently waking up to 43 degrees in Shelton. Temperatures in the upper 40s once you get up there towards Seattle and Kent, Auburn, 46 degrees, Bonney Lake. Waking up to 50 right now in parts of Bainbridge Island and temperatures in the mid 40s. For Monroe, we've got 49 degrees in Everett, low 50s in Arlington and temperatures 54 degrees in parts of Bellingham and all the way up there close to the border in Blaine. As we check things out on the live Doppler radar, scattered showers starting to ramp up just a bit for the Olympic Peninsula. I do think today is going to be more dry than wet, a passing shower early, not totally out of the question, but. More widespread showers with that wind and the rain heading our direction by later tonight, and it's all thanks to this disturbance out there. This is, of course, a series of them that we've been watching for the last several days. This one is due to push in that cold front for late tonight. It will linger into part of the day on Sunday as well. There will be some cold air with this, so we have some instability that will be watching the potential for a couple rumbles of thunder. Today, the best chances would be for the coast as the cold front is moving onshore. Tomorrow, as the cold front continues to kind of want to exit the area and some of that cold air behind it, we'll hold on to a chance for some weak storms stretching a little farther inland to parts of the Puget Sound region, especially the North Sound as you get up there closer into western Whatcom County. This is also the time of year that we're starting to watch the Skokomish River rise just a bit, especially with that excessive rainfall. So we're going to continue to see that flood watch in that location until late this evening. A lot of that runoff coming off of the Olympics into that river as well. So looking at the timing, a couple scattered showers for the early part of the day. But here comes that main line. Some moderate to heavier downpours of rain will be possible along with it. Talked about the possibility for a few scattered thunderstorms as well into the day on Sunday. Snow levels by Sunday. Sunday night coming down to around 4,000 feet, so we could be talking about a light dusting in some of those higher mountain passes. I think areas around Snoqualmie Pass doing just fine, and then we're going to start to clear things out just a bit for Sunday evening. Expected rainfall, these would be some great totals to add to our November so far. We could be talking about more than an inch down there in Tacoma, closing in on almost two inches around Forks and about three-quarters of an inch right here possible in parts of Seattle. As we look at the sunset tracker, we're continuing. We're continuing to lose that daylight. It's feeling oh so weird by 430 already. And how about this? In about three weeks from now, early December, we're going to be even earlier than that. Some of the earliest sunsets as we get close to the winter solstice. Highs for today, upper 50s. We've got some of the wind and the rain by tonight. After the stormy weather for this weekend, quieter skies and drier for much of next week as well. We are going to pull down those temperatures. Lows will be in the 30s for Thursday and Friday.
