Discussion:
We see a break between weather systems on Thursday with only showers and sunbreaks and calm winds as the remnants of the bomb cyclone moves farther west and weakens.
However, another blustery weather system will move in on Friday morning. Like Tuesday night's storm, Friday's storm will develop as it rotates around a large upper level low pressure off the coast. This storm will pass by off the coast Thursday even closer than Tuesday's.
Importantly, it will be much weaker than the bomb cyclone so it will produce much less wind. This will give western Washington increasing rain and wind (but not as windy as Tuesday night) early on Friday. This should turn to showers by midday on Friday and the winds will decrease later in the day.
Saturday should see showers and sunbreaks and Sunday will see decreasing showers with more sun. Right now it looks like Monday and Tuesday should be partly sunny with only a few showers.
