Today is the big shopping day and thankfully, that snow we got at the beginning part of the week started melting off yesterday, otherwise there would have been some major problems with the travelers this morning. I myself joined the multitude of crowds trying to find those deals and we were greeted with a good dose of steady rain this morning as a strong cold front moved through the area. That about finished the steady rains for the weekend but we will see occasional showers through Sunday with unstable air in place. Highs will be normal in the mid 40's though so no snow expected for us :) EXCEPT in the mountains where there is still a Winter Storm Warning for the Olympics and Cascades, where over a foot of snow could fall by tonight from yesterday. Occasional snow showers will continue for the mountains through the weekend as well.
Aside, those of you in Spokane also have a Winter Storm Warning in affect. That area will be hit hard with snow over the weekend as temperatures remain below freezing.
Look Ahead:
I can happily say that things look normal for the Northwest for the next 7 days. We will stay in low-mid 40's for most of the week with rain interspersed throughout. We may get windy on Tuesday-Wednesday but it's nothing to be alarmed about. Long range climate predictions keep us at normal temperatures for the next 14 days, and at or below normal for precipiation. :) Enjoy the holiday weekend!
