Drier

A dry break is coming, as is a Mug refill while scripting this latest extended outlook. 

Wet & cool today to get the week started; rather heavy showers around the Puget Sound; maybe with some thunder.  Tuesday will be on the cool side, with fewer showers.  Wed looks to be the ‘turning’ day - presenting plenty of sunshine & warmer temps.  Some charts tease a shower or two on Thu, but most runs keep it mild & dry; same for Fri May 23.  

Memorial Day Weekend: while a few model solutions are back to adding moisture during the holiday on Sunday; others keep it dry and warm, as we mentioned last time.  At the risk of being wrong, we will go with a dry weather forecast for the holiday, although it’s not likely to warm into the 80s except for portions of southern OR, esp east side.

The short, post-holiday work week of May 27-30 is looking to start wet on Tue, then dry out and begin to warm up a bit.  --> The notable heat-up we mentioned last time is now off the charts; however, that could return as we often experience the on/off model switch-a-roo many times in the past.

The weekend of May 31/June 1 is coming into ‘model view’ as partly cloudy with chance for a shower on Sat and partly cloudy on Sun but dry.  Temps in the low 60s in most locations.  

Overall, the majority of the last 11 days of May are trending as dry & mild.
