Seattle Weather: Friday, September 5, 2008

Highs: 64-75

Partly Cloudy

Lows: 48-56

Partly Cloudy

Some Clouds Today But A Sunny Weekend

Updated 1:30PM

High pressure is building off the coast today, but a weather system moving over the top of it will spread some middle and high clouds over us this afternoon filtering the sunshine. It could produce a few showers in the North Cascades (from Stevens Pass northward) and a few sprinkles along the foothills and near the Canadian border.

Over the weekend the high pressure will continue to strengthen and move closer to the coast. This will force storm systems well to the north of Washington giving us a sunny and warm weekend. Sunday and Monday will be the warmest days with highs in the 70s to near 80.

Another storm system will move through British Columbia later Monday into Tuesday giving western Washington a strong push of marine air. This will give us a cloudy morning on Tuesday with a little bit of afternoon clearing and much cooler temperatures.

By midweek the high pressure will rebuild off the coast putting the state into a dry pattern with morning clouds and afternoon sunshine that should last through the following weekend. Temperatures should be in the 60s and low 70s.

Northwest forecast from NWCN

Still Summer

More Clouds North

Sunny This Weekend

A nice big dose of sun dominates your Friday. We still have high pressure overhead, helping to keep clouds down and temperatures up. There is just one exception to the sunny forecast. A small disturbance is brushing by the northwest interior of Washington. That means partly to mostly cloudy skies and a slight chance for a shower. The showers will be confined to areas north of Seattle and mainly in the Cascades. That line extends east today as well, including areas like Spokane. South of Spokane, however, you'll still see a fair amount of sunshine.

Otherwise, the sun will be out on on both sides of the Cascades, and temperatures will continue to warm by a few degrees each day into the weekend. Also, we'll have breezy to windy conditions in eastern Washington, especially around Ellensburg. A wind advisory is in effect from 2-11pm today for winds sustained around 30-40 mph with higher gusts around 50mph.

Look for a sunny and warm weekend, and that will keep up into next week. There is a weak system that will push through and will help to cool us off a bit by Tuesday, and also give us the slight chance of a little moisture.

A red flag warning is in effect through Saturday morning for parts of southern Oregon and northern California. We will monitor the threat for fire danger and keep you posted as the week progresses.

Have a good day.
