Rain And Mountain Snow This Week: Puget Sound Forecast

SEATTLE — The first full week of October will draw a bit of everything from the autumnal playbook, with at least a couple sunny days on tap, nestled between a few chances for rain and some fresh snow forecast in the mountains.

To kick things off, Monday looks like it will be the warmest of the week, with lingering clouds expected to clear out by late morning and partly sunny skies warming temperatures to around 60 degrees.

The clouds are likely to return by late afternoon, setting up for a slightly cooler and potentially rainy Tuesday, shifting toward more showery conditions into Wednesday afternoon. According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday could also see snow levels drop down to 4,000 feet, which should allow for some light snowfall over Stevens Pass.

The forecasts show another break due Thursday, with mostly sunny skies over Puget Sound, before another shift back to rain heading into next weekend. According to NWS Seattle, the late-week outlook is still being firmed up, and it's possible Friday could stay drier and sunnier. Right now, both days of next weekend are looking wet — so enjoy the sun breaks while you can.

Here's the 5-day weather outlook for the Seattle area
