Mix of Chilly & Mild

Good morn’n, Patron.  We’ll get this weather week started.  Ready?

Dry this week until overnight Fri, with temps warming into the 70s mid-to-late week.  Per normal, the Puget Sound region may run a few degrees cooler than SW WA and OR.  Possible for temps to top 80 in southern OR on Thu.  Outdoor delight.

A cooler, wet pattern is on the charts to arrive overnight Thu into Fri, with some steady rain and/or lots of showers through late Saturday; Sunday should turn mostly dry, with a few clouds, depending on how rapidly the Low shifts to our east.  Friday’s cold front will bring moisture to the eastern basins and ID, possibly with some snow in the higher terrain.  

The last few days of April do look DRY, except for a quick shot of rain/showers over the Vancouver Island and northern Puget Sound area next Monday afternoon Apr 28 and early Tue the 29th.  SW WA and OR will be dry all that week until Fri May 2.  Temps in the 60s & 70s.

The first weekend of May 2025 looks to follow the pattern of the coming weekend, with damp wx starting Fri and holding through Saturday, as another cold air mass (for May) drops in for a visit.  NOTE: Sunday May 4 may present FROST in the morning, if the sky clears in your location. 

We see the potential for a chilly week Sunday through Sunday, May 4-11, with temps running below normal and risk for frost, should the sky clear.  This pattern will depend on the upper-level air flow, which is trending from the NW with cold air support.  Just a ponder point for now, so don’t spill your Mug if it doesn’t happen.  

A quip from 2006: “Science has not yet discovered how the birds know exactly when we've washed our car."
