Seattle weather: Drier and warmer Thursday, rain returns Friday
Seattle - A weak ridge of high pressure will settle in Thursday, bringing dry conditions and some afternoon sunshine.
High temperatures will be closer to average Thursday, as the cloud cover parts this afternoon. Low clouds will roll in late Thursday night ahead of the next wet system.
May has been a rollercoaster ride, mixed with chilly days and summer-like days. Temperatures have been well below average for the past week, but the month should close out a bit warmer.
Thanks to Tuesday's soaking rain, Seattle is back on track. We have seen 1.20 inches of rain for the month so far with more on the way Friday and Saturday.
During the daylight hours Friday, expect light showers on and off. The Puget Sound Convergence Zone will set up Friday night into Saturday in the central sound, bringing higher totals to the areas impacted.
Areas impacted by the Convergence Zone could see 0.25 to 0.50 inches of rain, while areas away from the Convergence Zone will only see a few hundreths of an inch.
The rest of Memorial Day weekend looks dry, with much warmer and sunnier weather on tap for Monday. A chance of light showers returns on Tuesday and Wednesday.
