Juneuary Coming To Puget Sound: Week Ahead Forecast
Memorial Day is supposed to be the beginning of summer. Not in Puget Sound.
SEATTLE, WA - Hope you enjoyed the 70-degree temperatures and sun over the Memorial Day weekend, because it's about to be cool and cloudy for a while.
According to the National Weather Service, high temperatures will only hit the low 60s this week. And we might even see some low temperatures in the 40s. On top of that, there will be cloudy skies and a chance of rain showers on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
In other words, at the stroke of midnight on May 31, we'll be entering the month of Juneuary. (But take heart: the NWS' long-range temperature forecast indicates a 40 percent chance of higher-than-normal temperatures over the next 30 days.)
