First Official Forecast

My first official online forecast for KOMO4 as an intern came on Friday. This was it




Cougars and Huskies will be able to agree on one thing this weekend: The weather will be a nice change.

Tonight will begin a nice transition out of our normal rainy weather into a small stretch of dry and cooler weather for the weekend. As the clouds roll out tonight we will see temperatures dip down to freezing or below for some of the outlying areas. The cooling will allow fog and frost to form by early tomorrow morning.

The fog won’t last long and will clear out by late morning. We’ll be left with a very dry and pleasant day. Highs will top out in the low 40s. If you have any outdoor activities to finish up then this might be the weekend to do it as longer range forecasts hint at a wetter week ahead. More on that in a little bit.

The important story for tomorrow is that we expect the foothills and mountain passes to see some gusty winds tomorrow as air will be rushing through the mountain gaps. Places like North Bend and Enumclaw could see winds from 30-45mph Saturday through Sunday. For those you headed over to Pullman for the apple cup (Go Huskies J ) and you have a larger load, these winds will push your trailers around so be careful driving over.

Apple Cup Forecast: Highs for Pullman on Saturday will only be in the 20s. Mainly dry for kick-off with a chance for a snow shower during the evening. 

Sunday will follow a similar pattern as Saturday with mainly dry conditions and highs in the low 40s. More clouds roll in Sunday and a shower may pop up by the late afternoon around Western Washington.  

Monday will be mainly dry as well but still holds a lingering shower chance. Highs will be around the mid 40s.

Tuesday begins a more normal fall pattern with models hinting at a few rounds of rain headed our way by mid-week.

Go Dawgs!
